RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL SUPPORT AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES

Abstract

The quality of life is determined by a person's judgment of their life and the degree to which they enjoy everything occurring throughout their life. Regardless of their physical limitations, persons who are disabled in some manner need a good quality of life in order to enjoy their lives and recognize opportunities for personal improvement. People with physical disabilities should be able to live the lives they want with the help of their family, friends, and society as a whole. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between having social support and having a better quality of life for those who have physical limitations. This study employs correlational and quantitative research methodologies with a sample of 67 people. During the data collection procedure, a scale of social support and psychological situations was utilized, and the outcomes of this scale were analyzed using the product-moment correlation. The data revealed a significant positive relationship between social support and psychological states (r = 0.634, p = 0.000). This link was shown to be statistically significant. That is, an increase in social support would be accompanied by an increase in the number of people with psychological difficulties who have physical restrictions. It is recommended that researchers in the future pay more attention to the subjects who will be used and are expected to construct an intervention to improve the quality of life in people who have physical limitations.
