Live-in foreign domestic workers (FDWs) are a special group in Hong Kong, where they account for approximately 4 percent of Hong Kong’s population. FDWs’ level of life satisfaction (LS) and its correlates have been under-researched thus far. This study examined data from 130 participants and sought to determine the effect of perceived social support, self-esteem and demographic characteristics on LS. The results showed that being married was negatively associated with LS while self-esteem was not a significant factor. The findings suggest the importance of providing support to FDWs to enhance their LS.

Caring for People with Dementia (PwD) has various negative effects that are detrimental to caregivers. The existence of Positive Aspects of Caregiving (PAC) makes the experience of caring for PwD more positive, valuable and protects caregivers from various negative impacts while caring for PwD. This study aims to explain the factors associated with PAC. These literature reviews were accessed from six databases (Scopus, CINAHL, Science Direct, ProQuest, PubMed, and SAGE Journal), with the keywords factor, positive aspects of caregiving, Dementia/ Alzheimer’s, during January 2021, limited to 2016-2020, and in English. A total of 318 journals were selected using PRISMA, then leaving 16 journals to be analyzed using The Joanna Briggs Institution Checklist. Sixteen journals were analyzed and divided into two themes, factors that affect PAC (n = 9) and factors affected by PAC (n = 7). Factors that affect PAC are caregiver characteristics, care-recipient characteristics, and social support. Factors affected by PAC are caregiving outcomes. Factors that increase PAC are lower education level, good social support, severe BPSD, shorter duration of care, and relationship with care-recipient (except spouse), and gender (male). The mediating factors that increase PAC are unmet needs and reciprocal filial piety. Factors that lower PAC are higher education level, the use of avoidance coping, and older age. We found inconsistencies in caregiver marital status and relationship with care-recipient because the finding still uncertain.

This study examined social support and gender differences as correlates of self-esteem: Implications for improving health among patients living with HIV/AIDS in Ondo State, Nigeria. Using accidental sampling technique, one hundred and ninety-eight patients were tested. The dimensions of social support were measured using scale of Perceived Social Support Assessment and self-esteem was measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. In order to determine the extent and direction of associations among the study variables, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) analysis was conducted. Multiple Regression analysis was then used to test hypothesis 1, 2, and 3. The study revealed that social support had a significant positive relationship with self-esteem The result indicated that gender significantly predicted influence on self-esteem [β = .23; t = .27; p > 0.05]. The result also revealed that social support significantly predicted self-esteem [β = .31; t = .27; p > 0.05]. On the contribution of all the independent variables (gender differences and social support) to the prediction of self-esteem, the outcome of the summary in Table 4.2 signify that all the independent variables when pulled together yield a multiple R of .21 and R2 of .045 [ F (2, 198) = 18.19*, p < 0.01]. Based on the result of the study, it was recommended that government organizations, non-governmental organization, religious organization and communities should all take part in giving the PLWH a holistic support and encouragement needed pending the time they spend in recovery until they begin full adult functional life.
