“…In terms of building close relationships, young university students possessed attachment styles and relationship building patterns that were initiated by their attachment to their parents, but were later shaped by the effects of siblings, friends and teachers. Several studies have found that adult attachment styles of the youth were significantly correlated to happiness and subjective wellbeing (Diener & Seligman, 2002;Terzi & Cihangir Cankaya, 2009;Torquati & Raffaelli, 2004;Van Buren & Cooley, 2002;Wearden, Lamberton, Crook & Walsh, 2005;Wei, Liao, Ku & Shaffer, 2011) and psychological symptom (Koruk, 2017). In this regard, it was thought that rather than having secure attachment patterns with the parents that the attachment styles that young people build with others may affect their happiness levels.…”

In this study we aimed to investigate the role of hope, secure attachment with the parents, and satisfaction levels of the basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness) of university students in predicting their happiness levels. A total of 558 university students were recruited and 70% of them were female and 30% of them were male. Ages of the participants ranged from 18 to 29. The data were collected in classroom settings using personal information form, the Oxford Happiness Scale, the Attachment with the Parents Scale, the Basic Psychological Needs Scale, and the Dispositional Hope Scale. Results indicated that that the satisfaction levels of the competence needs were the most powerful predictor of happiness among university students. The satisfaction levels of autonomy, relatedness needs, and a secure attachment to the father, along with hope contributed little to the explanation of happiness; whereas, a secure attachment to the mother was not a predictor of happiness of the university students. The findings were discussed within the framework of the developmental characteristics of university students and the characteristics of collectivist societies.

“…Hence, threats to the attachment bond include pain, burden, or stress which may influence the attachment behavioral system. Given these challenges, older adults with illnesses are often attached to family members whom they perceive as obliged to provide care management (Koruk, 2017).…”

Introduction: Aging oftentimes comes with health-related issues. Usually, family members are obliged to provide care management for older adults. They must perform this task despite their limited knowledge of their patients’ health conditions. Hence, securing care management for older adults with illnesses becomes a dilemma for consideration. Aims: Older adults require support in managing health conditions. This study hopes to promote the following: First, provide understanding of how family members perceive caregiving. Second, provide insight into family members’ management of health care challenges. Third, explore the need for geriatric support services in providing care for older adults. Methods: The study employed a qualitative research method. Focus Group Discussion was utilized to elicit data from 24 participants admitted to four health care facilities at Enugu-North, Nigeria. Results: Findings indicated that participants perceived care management for the older adults as a filial responsibility that should be provided till their demise. However, the majority experienced difficulties to this effect, other major concerns found include age and the older adult’s attitude, financial challenges, the changing contemporary society, and caregiving stress due to the care recipient’s health status. While many of the participants indicated a preference for traditional medicine as an alternative to rapidly increasing health service charges owing to lagging geriatric support; others were less reliant on the governmental welfare support services. Conclusions: With the government implementing aging and health care policies, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in collaboration with geriatric social workers can help develop care-aid programs for older adults’ healthy wellbeing.
