Abstract (68 Views)
Aims: Married students often navigate complex interactions between family dynamics, parental stress, and marital relationships, all of which can significantly influence their overall subjective well-being. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of marital satisfaction in the relationships between paternal family health, parental stress, and subjective well-being among married students.
Instrument & Methods: This descriptive-correlational study using structural equation modeling examined the mediating role of marital satisfaction in the relationships between differentiation of self and subjective well-being. A convenience sample of 473 female university students was assessed using the Subjective Well-being Scale, Family Health Scale, Parental Stress Scale, and Marital Satisfaction Scale. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 26 and Amos 26, and bootstrapping was applied to evaluate the significance of the mediation effect.
Findings: Paternal family health demonstrated a statistically significant positive relationship with subjective well-being (β=0.14, p=0.037) and exerted a significant indirect effect on subjective well-being through marital satisfaction (β=0.37, p=0.003). Parental stress did not exhibit a significant direct relationship with subjective well-being (β=0.02, p=0.774); however, it showed a significant negative indirect effect on subjective well-being mediated by marital satisfaction (β=-0.07, p=0.009). Marital satisfaction, in turn, displayed a significant positive direct relationship with subjective well-being (β=0.32, p=0.001).
Conclusion: Paternal family health positively affects subjective well-being, mediated by marital satisfaction, while parental stress negatively impacts well-being through reduced marital satisfaction.
