A Meta-Analysis about Researches on Familial Maladjustment of Families of Martyrs and Veterans

This research intends to provide a meta–analysis of previous research on familial maladjustment of families of Iranian martyrs and veterans and present an applied model to increase their familial adjustment. Therefore، one main question about familial maladjustment of families of martyrs and veterans and one secondary question about the effect of gender on the familial maladjustment were posed. To answer these questi-ons from among all research on familial maladjustment of families of martyrs and veterans previously carried out throughout Iran، 5 rese-arch studies which were acceptable in terms of methodology and ex-hibited inclusive criteria، were sele-cted for the meta – analysis. Based on the results of this meta–analysis، the effect size of the rate of familial maladjustment (0/231) was moderate; Moreover the effect size of children''s gender (0/078) rated to familial maladjustment of the families was weak. Based on the findings reported in research''s literature and results of the meta- analysis، an applied model for the increase of familial adjustment of families of martyrs and veterans was proposed، which consists of inter-ventions for general factors and factors rated to marital life and parenting.
