Abstract

Not only can individuals benefit themselves but also their immediate environment and society as a whole when they are mentally healthy. An elevated level of mental health may stimulate positivity. Therefore, it is crucial to thoroughly examine and resolve the issue. Psychological distress is a common experience that individuals encounter at different stages of life. When faced with a challenging situation, individuals can benefit from social support resources. The distress individuals endure influences how they assess their mental health and social support resources. In this context, the present study aims to examine the mediating role of social support in the relationship between psychological distress and mental well-being. For the first time, the relationships between these variables were examined. Data were collected from 434 adult volunteers. The structural equation modelling (SEM) method was employed to analyse the mediation between the concepts. The analyses' results indicated that psychological distress was a predictor of mental well-being, both directly and indirectly through interpersonal support. Individuals who are experiencing distress exhibit diminished levels of mental well-being and perceive less social support. Perceiving more support from their environment and experiencing less distress can enhance individuals' mental health.
