Abstract

Objective

To develop a culturally aligned family life education (FLE) framework that fosters family resilience within the context of Saudi Arabian society.

Background

Despite extensive global research on family resilience, there remains a notable gap in the Saudi Arabian context, where studies have predominantly focused on medical and psychiatric perspectives.

Method

Using a comprehensive review of existing literature, this study examines family resilience within the context of FLE. Sources include theoretical and empirical studies on family resilience, the current state of FLE in Saudi Arabia, and patterns of intervention and help-seeking behaviors. The review informs FLE framework aimed at strengthening family resilience in the Saudi context.

Results

The results highlight key cultural and contextual factors essential for shaping effective FLE programs that support family resilience in Saudi Arabia.

Conclusion

This framework represents a novel synthesis of Islamic values and FLE approaches, offering a structured pathway to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of family resilience programs in Saudi Arabia and across the broader Arab and Middle East and North Africa regions.

Implications

The implications of this study include guiding the development of culturally responsive FLE programs and informing policymakers and practitioners on effective strategies to enhance family resilience in Saudi Arabia.

建立更牢固的家庭：沙特阿拉伯家庭生活教育以复原力为重点的概念框架

目的：在沙特阿拉伯社会背景下，建立一个与文化相一致的家庭生活教育（FLE）框架，以促进家庭的复原力。背景尽管全球对家庭复原力进行了广泛的研究，但在沙特阿拉伯的背景下仍存在显著的差距，那里的研究主要集中在医学和精神病学方面。方法通过对现有文献的全面回顾，本研究考察了家庭心理韧性在家庭创伤后应激障碍背景下的影响。资料来源包括关于家庭复原力的理论和实证研究、沙特阿拉伯家庭暴力的现状以及干预和求助行为的模式。该审查为旨在加强沙特背景下家庭复原力的FLE框架提供了信息。研究结果强调了文化和背景因素对制定有效的家庭教育项目至关重要，这些项目支持沙特阿拉伯的家庭恢复力。该框架是对伊斯兰价值观和家庭恢复力方法的新颖综合，为提高沙特阿拉伯以及整个阿拉伯、中东和北非地区家庭恢复力项目的有效性和可持续性提供了一条结构化的途径。本研究的意义包括指导文化响应性家庭教育项目的发展，并为政策制定者和从业者提供有效的战略，以提高沙特阿拉伯的家庭复原力。
