Data were gathered through the SF-36 scale and the \u201cMultidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support\u201d in the period of June 1 to September 1, 2023. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> The physical health level was moderate ( M\u2009=\u200946.22\u2009\u00b1\u200916.1), and the mental health level was also moderate ( M\u2009=\u200946.12\u2009\u00b1\u200921.8). Social support was rated high ( M\u2009=\u20095.3\u2009\u00b1\u20091.0), with the highest score in the significant other subscale ( M\u2009=\u20095.9\u2009\u00b1\u20091.2) and the lowest in the friend's subscale ( M\u2009=\u20094.4\u2009\u00b1\u20091.6).
