Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic brought about numerous changes including the transition from face-to-face learning to online learning. This sudden change in learning impacted medical students' physical, emotional, and psychological well being. Studies have shown that receiving high social support results in better health and well-being. However, little is known about the influence of giving and receiving emotional support during times of crisis such as a pandemic. To determine the influence of emotional support in the psychological well-being of medical students during pandemic. This is an analytic cross-sectional study wherein the influence of giving and receiving emotional support in the psychological well-being 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year FEU-NRMF medical students were measured quantitatively using the Personal Well-being Index and the Two-way Support Scale. A total of 357 students participated in the study. Individuals who received high levels of social support obtained higher scores on the PWI equating to a high or good personal well-being. Collected data from 1st year to 3rd year medical students of FEU-NRMF showed that RES as an independent variable has a significant influence (p-value=0.001) on PWB such that as the student obtains a higher RES score, he or she tends to have a PWI of not low. GES also shows a significant influence (p-value<0.001) on PWB of not low. Age was also observed to have a significant influence (p-value=0.021) on PWB such that as the student matures, he or she tends to have a PWI of not low. However, sex had no significant influence on PWI. Medical students who give and receive emotional support have better psychological well-being than students who don't.
