Abstract

TThis study aims to predict the life variables (social, psychological, economic, health, religious, cultural, and technological) explaining the family disintegration, The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach using a questionnaire to collect data from 196 beneficiaries of the Family Counseling Center in Hail
The study's findings revealed that family disintegration is not explained by a single factor, but rather is the result of a complex interplay between a diverse set of factors. Specifically, economic variables (e.g., debt accumulation and inability to meet needs) had the greatest impact on family disintegration, followed by psychological (e.g., loss of trust and mistreatment) and social variables (e.g., familial interference and lack of dialogue). Health variables showed the least impact.
Furthermore, Bootstrap regression analysis confirmed a statistically significant positive relationship between explanatory variables (excluding health) and increased family disintegration. Notably, economic and technological variables were the most influential, outweighing the impact of social and psychological variables. Based on these findings, the study recommends enhancing the role of social workers through awareness programs targeting family communication, financial crisis management, reducing negative technological influences, and implementing structured family mediation.
