Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship of self-differentiation, family function and mental health among adolescents.
Methods: The data were collected from 967 adolescents and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe’s test, Pearson correlation coefficient and Stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS program.
Results: Mental health differed according to grades, sibling position, father’s education and mother’s education. Self-differentiation and family function had a significant negative correlation with mental health. Multiple regression analysis showed recognition·emotional function, emotional cutoff and family projection as influencing self-differentiation. Grades, affective responsiveness in family function, and sibling position explained 20.8% of the total variance in mental health.
Conclusion: The findings show that self-differentiation and family function influence mental health, indicating a need to develop nursing intervention programs to enhance adolescents’ mental health and prevent negative outcomes. For these programs, the family must be included.
