Social and emotional support refers to the subjective sensation of feeling loved and cared for by those around us. Research has shown that individuals with social and emotional support experience better health outcomes compared to individuals who lack such support.

In addition, it has been shown that social and emotional support have beneficial effects on recovery time post cardiac surgery, coping with cancer pain, and overall longevity.
