The Role Of Psychological Capital, Social Support and Perceived Stress in Predicting Psychological Well-Being in Armed Forces Employees with Depression Syndrome.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of psychological capital, social support and perceived stress in predicting psychological well-being in armed forces employees with depression syndrome. The statistical population of the research included military personnel with depressive symptoms. To identify military personnel with symptoms of depression, the depression questionnaire (Beck et al., 1996) was distributed among 600 people and 100 people with high scores were selected by convenience sampling. To collect information from depression questionnaires (Beck et al., 1996), psychological well-being questionnaire (Reif et al., 2004), psychological capital questionnaire (Luthans et al., 2007), social support questionnaire (Wachs et al., 1986) and the perceived stress questionnaire (Cohen et al., 1983) has been used. To analyze the data, Pearson's correlation test and multiple regression were used simultaneously. The results have shown that there is a positive and significant relationship between psychological capital (hope, resilience, optimism and self-efficacy), social support and the perception of positive stress with psychological well-being, and there is a negative and significant relationship between the perception of negative stress and psychological well-being. p > 0.05)
