Abstract (2597 Views)
Aims: Evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has been identified as a stressor. Perceived social support can protect against negative mental health impacts from COVID-19. The study aimed to identify the dimensions of perceived social support from the perspective of the people of Iran during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Participants & Methods: This qualitative content analysis was conducted from September to December 2022 in the Hamadan province; 42 in-depth semi-structured interviews were completed with male and female residents. Eligible participants were adults over 18 and heads of household. The data were analyzed using MAXQDA 10 software.
Findings: The family was recognized as the main source of emotional support. Informational support was reported through formal (e.g., media) and informal sources (e.g., friends and neighbors), instrumental support from the two areas of relatives and the government, and feedback from others as appraisal support.
Conclusion: The coronavirus pandemic has illuminated global crises' irrefutable mental and social health repercussions. Crucially, this pandemic highlighted the detrimental impact on households' jobs and incomes.
