Abstract: Objective: To investigate the current status of family resilience among parents of adolescents with emotional disorders, analyze its influencing factors, and provide a theoretical basis for designing targeted, family-centered intervention programs. Methods: A total of 327 parents (fathers or mothers) of adolescents with emotional disorders who were followed up in the outpatient department of a tertiary grade A mental health hospital in Shanghai from January to October 2024 were recruited through convenience sampling. The Shortened Chinese version of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale, the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, parent-child communication questionnaire, Dyadic Adjustment Scale, etc were used for investigation. Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was used to identify influencing factors of family resilience. Results: The total score of family resilience among parents of adolescents with emotional disorders was 95.09±9.90. Regression analysis showed that disease duration, positive coping, parent-child communication, marital conflict, perceived stigma, and social support were the influencing factors, explaining 37.6% of the total variance. Conclusion: Family resilience levels among parents of adolescents with emotional disorders require further improvement. Healthcare professionals can develop targeted nursing intervention strategies based on these factors to empower families and promote patient recovery.
