Objective: This study was conducted to examine the effects of adolescent-parent conflict on parents' anxiety levels and quality of life.
Material and Methods: The research was carried out in descriptive, cross-sectional, relational design. Three forms were used to collect the data: socio demographic information form, State–Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the short form of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale.
Results: It was determined that 96.1% of the parents had conflicts with their adolescent children. It was determined that the trait anxiety scores of the parents showed a statistically significant difference according to the parents' occupation, economic status of the family and the state of conflict with the adolescent. A negative and statistically significant relationship was found between the average anxiety score and the average of quality of life scores in physical, mental, social and environmental domains of the parents who reported having conflict with their children.
Conclusions: As a result of this study, it was determined that almost all of the parents had a conflict with their adolescent children. It was determined that the anxiety levels of the parents who experienced conflict were higher and anxiety negatively affected the quality of life in all domains. It is important for nurses to evaluate the interaction of adolescents and parents, who are in risky groups, within the scope of health promotion and primary protection.
