Abstract
Background and Objective: The war usually has widespread individual, social, economic and cultural consequences that have a significant impact on physical and psychological problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of religiosity and resilience with the welfare of the wives of the war veterans in Karaj.
Methods: The research method was descriptive correlational. The statistical population consisted of 3750 veterans' wives in Karaj. The sample population consisted of 249 people who were selected according to Cochran formula by available sampling method. In this study, the research tools included Serajzadeh et al.’s religiosity questionnaire, Conor & Davidson’s resiliency questionnaire and Reef’s psychological well-being questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test and stepwise multiple regression analysis. In this study, all ethical considerations were observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
Results: Findings showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between religiosity components and psychological well-being at the level of 0/01. Also among the five components of resilience, there was a significant linear relationship only between the three components of spiritual influences, negative affect tolerance, and positive acceptance with psychological well-being. Individual competence and control variables did not play a role in explaining the psychological well-being of war veterans' wives.
Conclusion: Considering the fact that the variables of religiosity and resiliency are significant predictors of psychological well-being, it is possible to enhance the psychological well-being of devoted spouses by providing such capacities in educational situations.
