- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of stress and age in managing family relations. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Public sector hospitals in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, from May 2018 to Jun 2018. Methodology: A sample of 103 females healthcare professionals (Doctors=15, Psychiatrists=14, psychologists=29, Nurses=22 and others=23) (Married=53, unmarried=50) with mean age of 30 years (range from 20 to 50 years) were taken from various hospitals in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Data was collected by using the perceived stress scale and the index of family relations. Results: Results revealed significant positive correlation between age and poor family relations whereas correlation between stress and family relations is not significant. Regression analysis showed age as predictor of poor family relations. These findings were interpreted with the support of literature. Conclusion: It is concluded a work- family life balance should be achieved and presence of stress or mental health problems should be screened timely in order to manage them before it’s too late.
