Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the concept of family strength using the Walker & Avant method. The goal is to clarify its defining characteristics, causes, and effects in order to deepen our understanding of its role in enhancing individual and family resilience.Methods: Following Walker & Avant’s framework, this concept analysis involved a comprehensive review of literature from various disciplines. We extracted literature from databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycARTICLES, MEDLINE, ERIC, and PMUSE.Results: The analysis revealed three key attributes of family strength: family cohesion, family coping capacity, and family engagement. These attributes are supported by factors such as positive communication, shared values and goals, and access to resources. The outcomes of family strength include enhanced personal growth, effective crisis management, and reduced risk of family dysfunction.Conclusion: Family strength is a vital factor in promoting resilience and well-being within family units, regardless of family structure. These findings support a strengths-based approach in clinical and research settings, emphasizing the use of inherent family strengths to support individual and family development.
