Abstract:

This study aims to determine the relationship between the family of origin relations and coping styles with stress in the married individuals. This research, which was conducted as a relational screening model was carried out with 150 married and at least high school graduates living in Ankara, selected with a purposeful sample. The data was obtained using the Information Form, Family of Origin Relations Inventory (FORI) and Styles of Coping Inventory (SCI). In married individuals,(n=150) the mean total score of SCI was 78.32±7.98; The mean total score of the FORI was found to be 26.51±4.50. There was no significant relationship between the total scores of FORI and SCI; It was determined that there is a positive correlation between the self-confident approach, helpless approach and submissive approach, which are the sub-dimensions of SCI, and the total score of the FORI. As a result, it was found that there was no relationship between family of origin relations and stress coping styles in married individuals, but as the relations with the family of origin relations improved, the use of self-confident approach, helpless approach and submissive approach increased among coping styles. For this reason, it is recommended to plan psychosocial interventions that will raise awareness about the relationship between their family of origin relations and their coping styles in order to enable married individuals to cope functionally.
