Notes

Social support is associated with increased medical adherence (Gonzalez et al. 2004) and improved Quality of Life (QOL) (Scott-Sheldon et al. 2008) in individuals with HIV. Not explored thoroughly in the literature are the specific associations of parental social support for adults. Research has yet to specifically explore the relationship between Parental Social Support, Stress and QOL. Using the Buffering Hypothesis Theory (Cohen & McKay, 1984), the authors posit that Social Support and Stress will be predictors of QOL, and Social Support will mediate the relationship between Stress and QOL. The authors' results suggest a link between Perceived Stress, Parental Support and QOL. They indicate that although Perceived Stress and Parental Social Support predict QOL, Social Support may not significantly buffer the relationship between Stress and QOL. This research is important as it helps inform the development of effective interventions that target parental social support in HIV individuals. Future research should continue to examine outcomes associated with Parental Social Support in Adults.
