Abstract
The present study examined the relationship between family functioning and resilience on the psychological well-being (PWB) in high school students. A cross-sectional study was conducted using multiple linear regression for prediction and descriptive statistical analysis in five Indonesian high school students. A total of 341 high school students participated in the study, completing three validated self-administered questionnaires. Statistical analysis revealed that greater family functioning was associated with higher PWB. A significant relationship between resilience and PWB was found in this cohort. This study showed that to maintain healthy mental well-being, developing resilience and family functioning is vital for high school students. More emphasis may be placed on the possible role of resilience training and other kinds of family functioning and coping strategies in dealing with the unavoidable causes of stress in public high schoolers.
Highlights
Stress has been established as a disease of the twentieth century, and it has been intensively researched in school students (Pascoe et al, 2020; van Loon et al, 2020)
The present study examined the relationship between family functioning and resilience on the psychological well-being (PWB) in high school students
The results indicate that respondents’ PWB perception is well above average (M = 4.123, SD = .508) and resilience even appears to be lower (M = 3.010, SD = .328)
Summary
Stress has been established as a disease of the twentieth century, and it has been intensively researched in school students (Pascoe et al, 2020; van Loon et al, 2020). Many researchers suggest that school students are under a lot of stress, especially at the beginning and end of their academic year (e.g., Brown, 2007). Excessive stress can lead to anxiety and depression, as well as a decline in academic performance (Maajida Aafreen et al, 2018). Maintaining excellent levels of psychological well-being (PWB) is essential in students’ high school development years (Bendixen et al, 2018; Fomina et al, 2020). The PWB of high schoolers is negatively impacted by poor focus, heightened anxiety levels, chronic depression, and sleep disorders (Calderon Jr et al, 2021; Zaremohzzabieh et al, 2019). It is essential to make an effort to maintain and improve the PWB among high school students
