Abstract

A quarter-life crisis is a psychological condition characterized by uncertainty, anxiety, and emotional instability commonly experienced by young adults in transitional life phases, particularly among final-year university students. Family communication is central in providing emotional support and shaping individual coping strategies. This study examined the relationship between family communication patterns and the incidence of quarter-life crisis among final-year nursing students. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 73 participants selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a validated family communication questionnaire and a quarter-life crisis scale, then analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The results revealed a significant inverse relationship between family communication patterns and quarter-life crisis levels, indicating that better family communication is associated with lower levels of psychological distress. These findings highlight the importance of family interactions in supporting students' emotional well-being during critical academic and life transitions. Integrating family-focused psychoeducation may be beneficial in mental health interventions for nursing students.
