Role of Family Communication Patterns — Artikel Jiwamu

Effective communication, openness, and mutual support are consistently linked to higher resilience and marital satisfaction in long-distance marriages. Families that maintain strong communication, show flexibility, and balance cohesion are better able to adapt to adversity and maintain satisfaction despite distance (Carr & Kellas, 2018; Priastuty et al., 2023). Supportive marital communication can compensate for less optimal family environments, helping individuals remain resilient even when other family dynamics are less balanced (Carr & Kellas, 2018; Priastuty et al., 2023).

Impact of Work-Family Conflict

Work-family conflict is a significant stressor that negatively affects family satisfaction, mental health, and relationship quality (Symoens & Bracke, 2015; Carroll, 2013; Grzywacz & Bass, 2003; DÃ¶nmez et al., 2023; Burch, 2019; Yucel & Latshaw, 2018).

High work-family conflict can reduce resilience, but its negative effects can be buffered by constructive communication and strong family support (Huaman et al., 2023; Carroll, 2013; Grzywacz & Bass, 2003; DÃ¶nmez et al., 2023).

Resilient individuals and families are better able to manage work-family conflict, maintaining lower levels of stress and higher happiness (Grzywacz & Bass, 2003; DÃ¶nmez et al., 2023).
