Perceived social support
Fifteen bivariate correlations between perceived social support
and HRQoL were tested, of which 11 were significant and 9 were
>0.30, indicating social support as an inconsistent determinant of
HRQoL. Two studies tested a subscale Socioeconomic HRQoL and
reported significant correlations of 0.45 and 0.51
HRQoL domains
Four articles presented associations between social support and
physical and psychosocial HRQoL. These associations were similar
to those between social support and overall HRQoL
