Abstract
Aim: This study aims to determine the effect of perceived social support experienced by COVID-19 patients on their psychological well-being.
Methods: This study is a cross-sectional descriptive study. In the research, the data were collected through online platforms (such as Facebook and WhatsApp) via Google form between March-April 2021 to reduce the risk of transmission.
Results: This cross-sectional study was performed on 403 COVID-19 patients. There were statistically significant positive correlations between the mean Psychological Well-Being Scale total score and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support total score (r=0.772; p<0.001).
Conclusion: It is extremely important to increase social support resources to maintain psychological well-being during and after quarantine practice in patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
