Background: Single women face many problems in the patriarchal society but receive support from the community. In general, studies on community support showed that belonging to a community and actively participating in communal activities enhanced the quality of life and wellbeing of the individual involved. The present study examines whether the dimensions of community support predict psychological distress, happiness, life satisfaction, and psychological resilience among single women. Method: A sample of 300 single women (divorced, widows, and separated women) in the age group of 25 to 60 years ( M = 39.82 years, SD = 7.83) were administered self-report measures of perceived community support, psychological distress, subjective happiness, life satisfaction, and psychological resilience. The dimensions of community support included in the study are community integration, community participation and community organization. Results: Multiple regressions were carried out to analyze the data. Community integration negatively predicted psychological resilience. Community participation positively predicted life satisfaction. Conclusion: These findings highlight the role of community support as resources that promote the positive adaptation of single women to the challenges of everyday life. The implications of the findings for policy, practice, and research are also discussed.

Background: India has seen a rise in the use of substance abuse. A national survey in 2019 showed that around 2.1% of the country’s population uses opioids and 2.8% of Indians between the ages 10-75 use cannabis. In order to prevent substance related disorders it is necessary to get in-depth understanding of the various social factors leading to the use of substance use. Methodology: The researcher used Narrative Analysis to gather data from 4 individuals through the use of semi-structured interview. The participants were undergoing treatment at a rehabilitation center in Mumbai. Results: Through narrative analysis 3 common themes namely, friends (peer pressure), curiosity and parental neglect were identified. There were 3 unique themes identified-stamina/booster, bad neighbourhood and resentment towards family. Conclusions: This research identifies some common themes that can help those working in the field of mental health to focus on those areas while working with young children and their families. This research shows the importance of teaching assertiveness training to young children to prevent them from trying substances. The parents need to be trained and informed about various parenting styles and how to develop secure attachment styles with children. This research also paves the way for further research by identifying which other parental styles leads substance abuse.

Background: Infertility is more prevalent nowadays and affects both males and females. It is an extremely challenging and unpredictable situation with social, interpersonal, and financial consequences. Therefore, it affects psychological health and quality of life of the couple. We assessed psychiatric morbidity and quality of life among couples and the relationship of duration of infertility with psychological burden, along with comparison between primary and secondary infertility. Methodology: 75 couples attending a tertiary care hospital in the age range of 18-45 years fulfilling the criteria for infertility and consenting for the study were interviewed and DASS 21 and WHO-QOL BREF was applied to analyze depression, anxiety, stress, and quality of life. Patients with previous psychiatric illness, intellectual disability was excluded. Results: The mean age of males and females was 29.6 years with 75% couples of primary infertility and 25% of secondary infertility. Females showed a higher range of psychiatric morbidity than males with 56% females and 12.2% males had depression, 56% females and 18.1% males had anxiety, 88% females and 66.7% were stressed. The data was clinically significant for anxiety in males and for stress in both males and females. QOL had scores on the lower side with non-significant association between primary and secondary infertility. Conclusions: Infertility has an impact on psychological health, and it affects females more than males. It also impairs QOL of the couple and hence there is need for an integrated approach to reach favorable outcomes.
