abstract = {ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between family resilience and mental health in military personnel from the perspective of the dual-factor model of mental health.MethodsA total of 8 094 soldiers were selected as subjects. Family Resilience Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and Short-Form version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) were applied to investigate the relationship of family resilience with positive indicators of mental health, life satisfaction, negative indicators of mental health, as well as depression, anxiety, and stress.ResultsTen first-order factors, 2 second-order factors and total scores of family resilience were positively correlated with life satisfaction (r=0.242~0.469, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with DASS-21 (r=-0.333~-0.126, P<0.01). The life satisfaction scores of subjects at different families resilience levels showed a linear downward trend, with significant differences (F=162.153~924.656, P<0.01). The DASS-21 scores of subjects at different families resilience levels displayed a linear upward trend (F=35.783~335.658, P<0.01). The correlation coefficients of family resilience and life satisfaction were greater than the absolute values of the DASS-21 correlation coefficients. Regression analysis showed that family belief and family strength showed significant effects on life satisfaction, and could jointly predict 22% variation of positive mental health. Family strength had a significant influence on the DASS-21 scores, while family belief had no effect on DASS-21 scores, and could predict 11% variation of negative mental health.ConclusionThere is a correlation between military family resilience and military mental health, and family resilience is the key point to promote military mental health.}
