Abstract

Introduction: Due to social and emotional changes alongside the cognitive and logical changes in adolescence, alterations occur in the adolescent's communication with family and friends in this period, and social support assumes greater importance.

Methods: From each of the two middle and high schools in the Ilkadim district of Samsun, a total 688 students were employed by a two-stage sampling method in this cross-sectional study. The data were collected from sociodemographic information, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and Future Expectations Scale for Adolescents (FESA) questionnaires distributed under the supervision of guidance counselors in these schools between December 2014 and February 2015. The Mann- Whitney U test and Spearman's Rank Correlation were used for statistical analysis. The significance level was accepted as p<0.05 for all tests.

Results: In the study group, MSPSS Family subscale had a stronger correlational relationship with all the BSI subscales including global indices and also with total score of FESA and subscales with the exception of the Marriage and Family subscale than the other two MSPSS subscales. There were moderate negative correlation between scores of MSPSS and BSI, and a low-moderate positive correlation was observed between total MSPSS and FESA scores of adolescents. The results demonstrated that adolescents who exercise regularly and avoid smoking and alcohol have higher perceptions of social support.

Conclusion: Perceived social support from family may be more effective than perceived social support from friends or a significant other in the development of psychological well-being and positive future expectations of Turkish adolescents.

土耳其学生青少年感知社会支持、心理状态与未来期望关系的横断面分析。
引言:由于青少年时期社会和情感的变化以及认知和逻辑的变化,青少年在这一时期与家人和朋友的交流发生了变化,社会支持变得更加重要。方法:采用两阶段抽样方法,从三善市Ilkadim区的两所初中和高中,共雇用了688名学生进行横断面研究。数据收集于2014年12月至2015年2月在这些学校进行社会人口学信息、多维感知社会支持量表(MSPSS)、简短症状量表(BSI)和青少年未来期望量表(FESA)问卷调查,并由辅导员指导。采用Mann- Whitney U检验和Spearman秩相关进行统计分析。结果:在研究组中,除婚姻和家庭外,MSPSS家庭分量表与所有BSI分量表(包括整体指数)以及FESA和各分量表总分的相关性均高于其他两个MSPSS分量表。青少年MSPSS总分与BSI呈中度负相关,青少年FESA总分与MSPSS总分呈低-中度正相关。结果表明,经常锻炼、不吸烟不喝酒的青少年对社会支持的感知更高。结论:在土耳其青少年的心理健康发展和积极的未来期望方面,来自家庭的感知社会支持可能比来自朋友或重要他人的感知社会支持更有效。
