Improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among hypertensive individuals has emerged as a significant public health issue. However, current research ignored the individual heterogeneity perceived social support (PSS) patients. The potential mechanism delay discounting (DD), living alone, and PSS on HRQoL remains unclear, further exploration is required.

Abstract Introduction: The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) is widely used to measure perceived social support. Despite its extensive application, the scale's psychometric properties have not been tested among Nigerian medical students, who face high levels psychological distress. This study aims evaluate reliability, validity and factor structure MSPSS students at University Ibadan, Nigeria. Method: A cross-sectional observational was conducted with 355 preclinical clinical from Ibadan. Data were collected through an online questionnaire utilising MSPSS, which includes three subscales: family, friends, significant other. Internal consistency assessed using Cronbach’s alpha, construct evaluated analysis. Confirmatory analysis (CFA) assess model fit. Results: demonstrated excellent internal (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.927), subscale reliability for family (α 0.892), friends other 0.927). Factor confirmed a three-factor consistent original explaining 80.3% variance. CFA showed strong fit indices (CFI 0.976, TLI 0.966, RMSEA 0.071). Conclusion: reliable valid tool assessing support students. The findings highlight scale’s applicability identifying risk guiding necessary interventions in education.
