Background & Objectives: Community health depends on family health. With the concurrent fundamental changes in the world and the stress and psychological problems that stem from these changes, mental illnesses have been increasing; accordingly, individuals are becoming more
vulnerable to mental health disorders. The occurrence of family life events is among the touching factors affecting psychological trauma.
Financial, family–related, and occupational problems, concern about the death of loved ones, and marital and pregnancy difficulties are stressful
events that can affect one's mental state. Considering the above–mentioned findings and the high prevalence of psychological trauma in society,
this study aimed to predict psychological vulnerability based on family life events.
Methods: This was a descriptive correlational study. The research community consisted of all married clients of counseling and psychotherapy
centers in Yazd City, Iran, in 2018; of them, 260 individuals were selected by multistage cluster sampling method, as the study samples. The
inclusion criteria of the research were couples who have been married for at least one year and referring to counseling centers for at least one
time in 2018. Being educated to a middle school degree was also considered as the exclusion criterion. Two tools were used for collecting data
in this survey. The first tool was the Symptoms Check List–90–Revised (Derogatis et al., 1976). The second inventory was the Family Inventory
of Life Events and Changes (McCubbin & Thopmson, 1991). The research data analysis was performed in two parts; first, descriptive statistics,
including mean, standard deviation, as well as skewness and kurtosis indices. The second part was inferential statistics, including the Pearson
correlation coefficient and simple linear regression at the significant level of 0.05, used in SPSS.
Results: The simple linear regression analysis data suggested that family life events could predict the overall score of psychological vulnerability
(β=0.453, p<0.001) and its dimensions, including somatization (β=0/403, p<0.001), obsessive–compulsive (β=0.365, p<0.001), interpersonal
sensitivity (β=0.371, p<0.001), depression (β=0.438, p<0.001), anxiety (β=0.381, p<0.001), hostility (β=0.39, p<0.001), phobic anxiety
(β=0.387,p<0.001), paranoia (β=0.445, p<0.001), and psychosis (β=0.39, p<0.001).
Conclusion: According to the current research results, as family life events increase, psychological vulnerability enhances and family life events
can predict various psychological vulnerability types. Thus, it is imperative that training of life skills, resilience, and adaptation be addressed by concerned organizations.
