The statistical population included all operating room personnel in Mashhad, Iran as of 2023 winter; 200 operating room personnel were selected as the study sample. To measure the variables, the Family Process and Content Questionnaires, Psychological Well-Being Scale, Critical Thinking Questionnaire and Index Questionnaire for Dealing with Stressful Situations were adminsitered. Data analysis was done using structural equation modeling with Amos22 and SPSS 22 software.Results: The results of the structural equation model showed that the family process played a mediating role in the relationship between critical thinking and problem-oriented and avoidance-oriented strategies. Also, family content played a mediating role in the relationship between critical thinking and avoidance coping strategy (p <0.05). Finally, the results showed that the content of the family and the family process did not play a mediating role in the relationship between psychological well-being and strategies for coping with stressful situations (p >0.05).Conclusion: According to the results obtained from the research, it is suggested to use family therapy workshops for operating room personnel.
