Descriptive statistics and a structural equation modeling analytic approach were used. RESULTS The analytic model predicted 82% of the variance of the family strength. The total effect of the spiritual well-being on the family strength was higher compared to the family protective factors. Furthermore, spiritual well-being predicted 43% of the distribution of the family protective factors and had indirect effect on the family strength through the family protective factors (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study confirmed the interrelationships among spiritual well-being and family protective factors, and their simultaneous effects on family strength.
