Abstract

This meta-analysis review aimed to examine the relationship between social support (SS) and quality of life (QoL). Social support is defined as comfort, care, appreciation, or assistance available to individuals or groups, while quality of life refers to an individual's perception of their social life within the context of existing cultural and value systems, particularly in relation to personal goals, hopes, standards, and interests. The study synthesized data from a combined sample of 11,716 participants across various studies. The analysis revealed a significant effect size correlation between SS and QoL, with r=0.550r = 0.550r=0.550 (95% CI: 0.340 to 0.761), indicating a strong positive relationship. Additionally, the role of the moderator variable, country type, was analyzed, yielding a score of p=0.002p = 0.002p=0.002 (95% CI: -0.107 to 0.111), suggesting that the type of country did not significantly influence the correlation between the two variables. Publication bias was assessed and found to be insignificant, with Egger's publication bias value of p=0.176p = 0.176p=0.176. These findings highlight the substantial role of social support in enhancing quality of life. This meta-analysis underscores the importance of fostering social support systems to improve individuals' overall well-being across diverse cultural and geographical contexts.
