Certain studies identify spiritual health and family functioning as predictors of a healthy lifestyle. Both constructs influence the presence of symptoms of depression and anxiety. To obtain more empirical evidence on this relationship, 128 adults from Northeast Mexico were administered the Spiritual Health Scale (ESE-UM), the Assessment of Family Functioning questionnaire, the Beck Anxiety Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory. Significant effects of spiritual health and family functioning on depression and subjective anxiety were found. It is inferred that spiritual health and family functioning are protective factors for emotional problems.
Human beings spend a large part of the day in the workplace. Many of the burdens and concerns that arise there remain on your mind even outside of work hours. These burdens can affect and endanger the physical, emotional and family health of each individual. This study was quantitative, descriptive, correlational, ex post facto and cross-sectional. A total of 232 workers in a dependency relationship with an organization in Mexico participated. In the analysis of the results, a statistically significant relationship was found between spiritual health and the perception of the organizational climate (ρ = .231, p <.001) and with family functioning (ρ = .447, p <.001). These results show that the higher the spiritual health, the better the organizational climate and family functioning. This means that the connection with a supreme being, with the environment and with oneself, on a spiritual level, improves the perception that the individual has of their work and family environment.
