Abstract
The aim of
this paper is to give introductory information regarding social support. A
brief literature review regarding social support was performed. Using the
review, background information, definitions of social support, different
aspects of social support, the relationship between social support and
self-efficacy, social support models (i.e. main effect model, and stress
buffering effect model) and the effect of social support on recipient and
provider are explained. The literature indicated there are two dimensions of
social support: structure social support and functional social support.
Structural social support refers to existence, quantity, and density of social
relationships, whereas functional social support refers to quality of social
relationships and type and functionality of resources provided to recipient
(Chronister, 2009). In addition to it, social support is divided into two
categories: perceived versus received social support. Research shows that
social support has positive effect on psychological well-being. Overall, social
support has potential beneficial effects on mental and physical health. The
paper can be a useful tool for someone who aims to have a general overview of
those constructs.

Abstract
Bu makalenin
amacı sosyal destek ile ilgili giriş niteliğinde bilgi vermektir. Sosyal destek ile ilgili çeşitli tanımlar,
sosyal desteğin boyutları, algılanan sosyal desteğe karşın alınan sosyal
destek, sosyal destek modelleri, sosyal destek ve öz yeterlilik arasındaki
ilişki ve sosyal desteğin desteği alan ve sunan üzerindeki etkileri
açıklanmıştır. Literatürde sosyal destek genelde iki boyutta
incelenmiştir: yapısal sosyal destek ve
fonksiyonel sosyal destek. Yapısal sosyal destek, sosyal ilişkilerin varlığını,
miktarını ve yoğunluğunu ifade etmekte
bunula beraber, fonksiyonel sosyal destek sosyal ilişkilerin kalitesini, ve
sosyal destek alanlara sunulan kaynakların fonksiyonel olma durumlarını ve çeşitlerini
incelemektedir Bunun sosyal destek,
alınan ve algılanan sosyal destek olarak iki kısma ayrılmıştır. Sosyal destek
ile ilgili araştırmalar sosyal destek stresin etkilerini azaltmakla beraber ruh
sağlığı üzerinde olumlu etkiler oluşturmaktadır. Bunun yanında sosyal desteğin
öz yeterliliğe ilişkin olumlu etkileri de literatürde belirtilen konulardan bir
tanesidir. Sonuc olarak, sosyal destek zihinsel ve fiziksel sağlık üzerine
potansiyel olumlu etkide bulunabilir. Bu makale sosyal destek ile ilgili giriş
niteliğinde bilgi sahibi olmak isteyenler için bir araç olarak kullanılabilir.
