Family system has been found to affect the satisfaction level among the family members. The objective of our study was to determine the satisfaction level and its predictors among joint and nuclear family systems in District Abbottabad, Pakistan. We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study in all 52 Union Councils (UCs) of District Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan from March 2015 to August 2015. Multistage cluster sampling technique was used to select 2063 participants from both nuclear and joint family houses. Proportionate sampling was done for selecting mohalla from each UCs, and then subsequently households from respective mohalla's. Simple random sampling was done for selecting the 18 years and above-aged participant for the study. A structured demographic questionnaire was used to collect information from study participants. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was done to find out the predictors of satisfaction level among joint and nuclear family systems using SPSS version 20 A p-value of <0.05 was considered as significant. Level of satisfaction was found to be higher among people living in the joint family system i.e., 87.5 % v/s 81 % (<0.001) compared to the nuclear family system. Multivariate regression analysis of nuclear family system showed that people having higher education level and higher socioeconomic status (SES) were more satisfied as compared to no education & low SES respectively. While, in the joint family system, only high SES was a significant predictor of satisfaction in the joint family system as compared to low SES. Our study reported a high level of satisfaction among joint and nuclear family systems in Pakistan. High education level and high SES were identified as important predictors of satisfaction among both systems.
研究发现家庭系统会影响家庭成员之间的满意度水平。我们研究的目的是确定巴基斯坦阿伯塔巴德地区联合家庭系统和核心家庭系统中的满意度水平及其预测因素。2015年3月至2015年8月，我们在巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省阿伯塔巴德地区的所有52个联合委员会（UCs）中开展了一项基于人群的横断面研究。采用多阶段整群抽样技术从核心家庭和联合家庭中选取2063名参与者。从每个联合委员会中按比例抽样选取社区，然后从各自社区中选取家庭。通过简单随机抽样选取18岁及以上的参与者进行研究。使用结构化人口统计学问卷从研究参与者那里收集信息。使用SPSS 20版进行单变量和多变量逻辑回归分析，以找出联合家庭系统和核心家庭系统中满意度水平的预测因素。p值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。结果发现，与核心家庭系统相比，生活在联合家庭系统中的人的满意度更高，即87.5% 对 81%（<0.001）。核心家庭系统的多变量回归分析表明，与未受过教育和社会经济地位低的人相比，受过高等教育和社会经济地位高（SES）的人更满意。而在联合家庭系统中，与低社会经济地位相比，只有高社会经济地位是联合家庭系统中满意度的一个重要预测因素。我们的研究报告称，巴基斯坦的联合家庭系统和核心家庭系统中的满意度水平较高。高教育水平和高社会经济地位被确定为这两种家庭系统中满意度的重要预测因素。
