Abstract:

gender factor showed a significant relationship with psychosocial score of
emotional function. There is no significant relationship noted between other
sociodemographic factors with overall psychosocial scores or with the
psychosocial scores of each function. In relation to subscale social support
factors, there was a significant relationship between the psychosocial scores
