Abstract :The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics of family dynamics and mental status of Japanese families who live in a northern prefecture of Yamagata, Japan. Data were collected using Family Dynamics Measure II (FDM II) and a questionnaire including questions about socio-demographic characteristics and mental status. Data were collected by convenience sampling from residents of community groups and care personnel. Participation was voluntary. Findings: The majority of participants were female. Average age of participants was 43.88, ranging from 23 to 79 years of age. They were spouses (78.6%), living with their children (65.4%), and their parent(s) (36.5%). There was an average of 4.62 persons in a family. More than one half had a family member over age 70. Twenty to thirty percents of families had health problems and changes or problems in their family. Among six dimensions of FDM II, strong positive relationships were found between Mutuality-Clear communication, Stability-Clear communication, Mutuality-Stability, Clear communication- Role reciprocity, and Stability-Role reciprocity. Mental status indicated positive but weak relationships with each six dimensions of FDM II. Findings of these family characteristics and mental status may help community and home health care nurses to provide appropriate care to families in Yamagata, Japan. Keywords : family dynamics, Family Dynamics Measure II (FDM II), Japanese family, northern prefecture, mental status
