ساغر میں اک پھول کھلا ہے
سارا جنگل مہک اُٹھا ہے
ٹہنی ٹہنی سوکھ چلی ہے
پتّا پتّا خشک ہوا ہے
ہر سو تَنہائی کا عالَم
ہر کوئی تنہا تنہا ہے
شہر کی سڑکیں تو ٹھنڈی ہیں
لیکن میرا دل جلتا ہے
کیسی دہشت پھیل گئی ہے
انساں انساں سے ڈرتا ہے
جنگل ، گلشن ، ندیا ، طوفاں
ہم نے بھی کیا کیا دیکھا ہے!
سونے جیسے کھیت کھڑے تھے
بے موسم بادل برسا ہے
شعر نہیں یہ سننے والے
تو پھیکی غزلیں کہتا ہے
میری مانو اب سو جائو
جانے کب سے جاگ رہا ہے
This study aims to explore the relationship between perceived online social support, internet addiction, and psychological well-being among university students. A sample of 250 university students from different universities in Lahore was included in this study. A purposive sampling strategy was used to collect survey data using internationally standardized tools. Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Hierarchical Linear Regression results showed that two subscales of perceived online social support, friends, and family, had a significant positive relationship with psychological well-being among university students. Among predictors, the current level of the semester and one subscale of perceived online social support- family, emerged as a significant positive predictor of psychological well-being among university students. The study concludes that family and friends are integral to the psychological well-being of university students and interventions must be planned to ensure that university students living far from home and those with excessive workloads have sufficient online and offline time with family and friends for mental health and well-being.
