Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui variabel mana yang lebih kuat memprediksi stres yang disebabkan daily hassles pada mahasiswa; self-compassion atau perceived social support. Stres merupakan kondisi yang dihasilkan saat individu mempersepsikan bahwa terdapat diskrepansi antara tuntutan-tuntutan yang dialami dan sumber-sumber yang diperlukan untuk memenuhi tuntutan-tuntutan tersebut. Daily hassles merupakan tuntutan atau masalah sehari-hari yang menjengkelkan, memicu frustrasi, dan menyebabkan stres. Self-compassion merupakan sikap memperlakukan diri sendiri dengan baik, pengertian, mendukung, dan penuh kasih sayang. Perceived social support merupakan persepsi individu bahwa dukungan sosial akan diterima saat diperlukan, dan membuat individu merasa orang lain cinta, sayang, peduli, dan menghargai individu tersebut. Partisipan penelitian merupakan 573 mahasiswa berusia 17 hingga 26 tahun. Alat-alat ukur yang digunakan terdiri dari Perceived Stress Scale-10, Self-Compassion Scale, dan Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Analisis data dilakukan dengan teknik analisa regresi ganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan beberapa hal. Pertama, variabel self-compassion lebih kuat memprediksi stres yang disebabkan daily hassles dibandingkan dengan variabel perceived social support. Kedua, dimensi self-compassion yang paling kuat memprediksi stres karena daily hassles adalah dimensi isolation. Ketiga, sumber perceived social support yang paling mampu memprediksi stres karena daily hassles adalah perceived social support yang didapatkan dari teman.

Mahasiswa perlu diberi pembekalan agar lebih siap untuk memasuki dunia kerja. Strategi yang digunakan oleh universitas untuk mengatasinya adalah menyelenggarakan program internship. Tantangan yang harus dihadapi oleh mahasiswa adalah perbedaan situasi dan kondisi di lingkungan kampus dan instansi tempat ia melaksanakan program internship, sehingga perilaku yang ditampilkan pun harus berbeda. Perilaku di tempat kerja atau perilaku kerja (PK) adalah segala sesuatu yang dilakukan oleh seseorang di lingkungan kerjanya (Ivancevich, 2014). Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku adalah emosi, yang dapat disebabkan oleh stress. Sebagai mahasiswa tahun akhir, mereka masih dituntut untuk menyelesaikan tugas-tugas akhir. Tuntutan-tuntutan tersebut dikeluhkan sebagai faktor penyebab stress. Perceived Stress (PS) adalah perasaan atau pikiran yang dimiliki seseorang terhadap hal-hal dalam kehidupannya yang dapat membuatnya stress serta kemampuannya untuk mengatasi stress tersebut (Varghese, Norman, & Thavaraj, 2015). Kedekatan emosi dengan orang lain terbukti berkorelasi dengan well-being seseorang dan melindungi seseorang dari efek stress tingkat tinggi (Ammar, Nauffal, & Sbeity dalam King, Vidourek, Merianos, Singh, 2014). Dukungan emosi akan mengurangi hubungan yang membuat stress-depresi (Felsten, 1998, dalam King, Vidourek, Merianos, Singh, 2014). Dengan kata lain, Social Support (SS) akan membantu seseorang untuk mengatasi stress yang dirasakannya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peran PS dan SS terhadap PK pada mahasiswa internship. Metode penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan menggunakan Work Behavior Assessment, Personal Resource Questionnaire, dan Perceived Stress Scale. Kuesioner disebarkan pada 52 mahasiswa Fakultas Psikologi yang sedang mengikuti program internship. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah PS dan SS berperan signifikan terhadap PK (F = 4,296, p < 0,05). Kata kunci: perilaku kerja, perceived stress, social support, mahasiswa, internship

Introduction. Both peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and varicose disease (VD), as chronic diseases, can generate high levels of emotional distress, with negative affects, which will influence treatment adherence and quality of life. The study’s aim was to analyze the relationship between anxiety, depression, perceived stress and social support in patients with PAD and with VD. Method. The study included a number of 54 patients (38 men and 16 women) diagnosed with PAD (39 patients) and with VD (15 patients).There were applied (before surgery) psychological tests: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), The Duke-UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire (FSSQ). Results. Women had higher levels of anxiety and depression than men (ns), higher scores on perceived stress scale (32,94 vs 29, t=-2,26; p<0,028), but lower scores on social support scale (25,50 vs 30,42, t=2,13; p<0,038). Patients with PAD had higher scores at anxiety (10,31 vs 8,33, t=2,58; p<0,012), depression (7,36 vs 5,40, t=2,05; p<0,045) and perceived stress (31 vs 28, ns) and lower scores at social support scale (27,62 vs 32,47, t=-2,05; p<0,045) than patients with VD. Both anxiety and depression positively correlated with perceived stress (0,639 respective 0,410; p=0,01) and negatively with social support (-0,574, respective -0,522; p=0,01). Age negative correlated with social support (-0,464; p=0,01). Conclusions. The indication for surgical treatment of vascular disease is a distress factor, leading to anxiety and depression. The increased anxiety at patients with PAD compared with those with VD can be explained by greater severity of this group of diseases, higher surgical risks, more frequent complications and a high risk of amputation. Low social support mainly observed in some elderly patients indicate, on the one hand the restriction of support network at this age and, on the other hand, its usefulness especially in the case of diseases that require surgery and postoperative recovery.

I explored the relationships between stress, social support, and depression among Chinese college students, focusing in particular on the moderating effect of social support in the link between stress and depression. Participants were 594 college students who completed the Perceived Stress Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale, and the SelfRating Depression Scale. Results indicate that stress and depression were significantly and positively correlated, social support and depression were significantly and negatively correlated, and social support significantly moderated the effect of stress on depression. In the high social support group, stress and depression were not significantly correlated, whereas in the low social support group, stress and depression were significantly correlated. In sum, both stress and social support were significantly correlated with depression, and social support moderated the effect of stress on depression among college students.

Pendahuluan : Stres akibat kesulitan berkomunikasi tidak hanya dialami pasien stroke yang mengalami afasia, tetapi keluarga yang melakukan perawatan juga merasakan stres. Stres ini dapat dipengaruhi oleh pengetahuan tentang afasia dan dukungan sosial yang dimiliki keluarga. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk melihat hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan tentang afasia dan dukungan sosial dengan tingkat stres pada keluarga pasien stroke yang mengalami afasia. Metode : Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cros sectional dengan 79 anggota keluarga pasien stroke yang mengalami afasia pada dua rumah sakit di Bukittinggi. Instrumen yang digunakan yaitu kuesioner tentang afasia, The Medical Outcome Study Social Support Survey dan Perceived Stress Scale. Hasil : Hasil penelitian dengan menggunakan uji Spearman Rank didapatkan adanya hubungan yang bermakna antara tingkat pengetahuan tentang afasia dengan stres keluarga (p=0,006). Kemudian tidak terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara dukungan sosial dengan stres keluarga (p=0,883). Diskusi : Penelitian ini merekomendasikan pentingnya menilai stres pada keluarga pasien stroke dengan afasia dan meningkatkan pengetahuan keluarga tentang afasia sehingga stres dapat diatasi.

Objective: To find the influences of mindfulness and self-compassion-based group therapy and compare them with standard treatment outcomes. Materials and Methods: Prospective randomized control trial was conducted on two intervention groups (n=23 for mindfulness and self-compassion group, n=11 for the control group) for seven weeks. Depression-related parameters consisted of the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Thai version, Self-Compassion scale-Thai version (Thai-SCS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-Thai version (Thai-PSQI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Thai version (Thai-HADS), Thai-Perceived Stress Scale-10 (T-PSS-10), Rosenberg self-esteem Thai version, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) Thai version, were collected and compared before and after both treatments. Results: Mindfulness and self-compassion had statistically significant improvement of better depressive rating scale, anxiety, mindfulness & self-compassion, perceived stress scale, self-esteem, and quality of life (p<0.001, 0.001, 0.002, <0.001, 0.005 and <0.001, respectively). Depressive level, anxiety level, mindfulness, and self-compassion, perceived stress scale, self-esteem, and quality of life in both groups were also improved. Nonetheless, there were no significant differences when compared to the mean differences between both groups. Conclusion: Mindfulness and self-compassion intervention improved depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and quality of life.

BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia is a prevalent side effect of pregnancy. Different studies have reported different results about the relationship between mental stress and blood pressure disorders. In addition, social support is highly important to help women who experience risky pregnancy in adapting to the stressors they experience. This study aimed to compare perceived social support and perceived stress in women with and without preeclampsia.METHODS AND MATERIALS: Fifty pregnant women definitely diagnosed with preeclampsia and 50 healthy pregnant women visiting public hospitals including Hazrat Masoumeh, Motazedi,and Imam Reza in Kermanshah-Iran took part in a descriptiveanalytical study from June 2017 to January 2018. Data gathering tools included demographics questionnaire, social support appraisals scale and perceived stress scale. The collected data was analyzed with SPSS (v.20) using independent t-test.RESULTS: The mean score of perceived social support in the preeclampsia and non-preeclampsia groups were 69.88±7.3 and 76.80±7.6 respectively (P<0.01). The mean score of perceived stress in the preeclampsia and non-preeclampsia groups were 35.6±8.7 and 26.01±5.56 respectively (P<0.01). This means that compared with healthy women, women with preeclampsia perceived more stress and less social support.CONCLUSION: In comparison with healthy pregnant women, women with preeclampsia perceived more stress and less social support. Healthcare providers should recommended to pay more attention to improving social support and attenuating stress inpregnant women.

Abstract Background: High levels of perceived stress have a negative bearing on health and well-being, and stress is a major public health issue. According to the Stress Process Model, stressors are socially patterned and combine to produce strain. Despite this, most studies on stress have focused on work-related stressors leaving non-work determinants underinvestigated. The aim of the present study was to determine the relative importance of work-related and non-work-related stressors and perceived social support for the perceived stress level.Methods: Self-reported data were drawn from the 2017 population-based health survey "How are you?" conducted in the Central Denmark Region (N=32,417). Data were linked with data drawn from national administrative registers. Work- and non-work-related stressors assessed included major life events, chronic stressors and daily hassles. Perceived social support was assessed using a single question. Perceived stress was assessed by the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale. We conducted dominance analyses based on a multiple linear regression model to determine the most important contributors to perceived stress. Analyses were weighted and adjusted.Results: Work- and non-work-related stressors along with perceived social support explained 42.5% of the total variance (R2) in perceived stress. The most important predictors were disease, perceived social support and work situation. The stratified analyses produced slightly varying predictor profiles of perceived stress between subgroups. Work situation was the most important predictor in the employed group. However, adding non-work-related predictors to the analysis tripled the explained variance.Conclusions: Level of perceived stress is affected by a combination of work- and non-work-related stressors and perceived social support both at population level and in subgroups. The most important predictors of perceived stress are disease, perceived social support and work situation. Results indicate that public health strategies aiming to reduce stress should take a holistic approach and address a variety of stressor domains rather than focus on a single domain.Trial registration: The study was approved by the Danish Data Protection Agency (r. no. 2012-58-0006) and Central Denmark Region (r. no. 1-16-02-593-16).

Background: Mothers with postpartum stress have increased maternal/infant morbidity and mortality. Haitians, a growing minority excluded from most studies because of the lack of instruments in Creole. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Daily Hassles Scale (DHS) measuring stress are not available in Creole. Purpose: To test the psychometrics of the newly translated Creole instruments. Methods: A convenience sample of 85 Haitian mothers completed 2 instruments in Creole and English, 2 weeks apart using the process of cross-cultural adaptation. Result: Internal consistency reliability and stability were strong for both instruments (.80–.94). Reliability and validity support the translated Creole with this sample of Creole speaking mothers. Conclusion: Psychometric findings suggest the newly translated versions are good representations of the English versions and are ready for use.
