The objective of the research was to establish the association between perceived
social support and stress, self-esteem, anxiety and depression respectively. For
this purpose, mothers of children with chronic medical conditions were recruited
as participants from various government hospitals of Karachi. Mothers of children
diagnosed with cancer (n=50) and thalassemia (n=50) were included in the
sample. The Parental Stress Scale and Aga Khan University Anxiety and Depression
Scale were used to determine the variables of maternal stress and anxiety and
depression. Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale was incorporated to determine selfesteem levels. Additionally, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support
was included, along with an informed consent and demographic form. The Urdu
version of all measures were used. A significant, negative relationship was
obtained between perceived social support and maternal stress (r= -.40, <.05) and
anxiety and depression (r= -.51, <.05). Moreover, a significant positive relationship
between perceived social support and self-esteem (r=.57, <.05) was also
determined.
