Abstract

Objectives This study tried to examine the relationship between family health and a sense of crisis in middle age and to verify the mediating effect of self-differentiation and the meaning of life.
 Methods The study selected 255 middle-aged adults aged 45 to 60 living across the country. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 and The PROCESS macro for SPSS 4.0. PROCESS Macro Model 6 was used to ver-ify the dual mediating effect.
 Results First, the results of the study showed that there was a statistically significant correlation between each variable in the relationship between family health, a sense of crisis in middle age, self-differentiation, and the meaning of life. Second, the differences in family health, sense of crisis in middle age, self-differentiation, and meaning of life according to gender and age of the study subjects were not statistically significant. Third, the dual mediating effect of self-differentiation and meaning of life was verified in the relationship between family health in middle age and crisis in middle age.
 Conclusions These results are expected to expand the understanding of the relationship between middle-aged family health and middle-aged crisis by influencing middle-aged crisis through different channels through self-differentiation and the meaning of life. In addition, it can be used as basic data for follow-up research to clarify the relationship between variables in various fields.
