Abstract

Aim: One of the most important factors influencing the stability and growth of family is marital adjustment. Marital adjustment refers to a situation in which couples often are concerned about each other’s welfare and satisfaction, which this process is established during the couples' life. Current research is aimed at studying the effect of relationship enhancement program training on increasing women' marital adjustment for women under the support of Imam Khomeyni Foundation. For this purpose, an experimental design with a pretest-posttest and control group was used. Among women volunteered to participate in the sessions, 40 individuals were chosen and randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received relationship enhancement program training during six 90-minute sessions, while the control group received no training. Participants from both groups completed Spanier' marital adjustment questionnaire. Results from analysis of covariance and independent samples t-test showed that group relationship enhancement program training sessions significantly increased marital adjustment and its dimensions (satisfaction, cohesion, consolation and affection expression).

The intervention consisted of the emotional couple therapy training (hold me tight) that was administered in eight 120-minute sessions for each of the 3 pair of couples. Data analysis primarily included visual analyses, such as level, trend, and variability at three stages of baseline, intervention, and follow-up, both as within-condition, and between-condition layers.

Abstract

Aim: Individuals adopt various coping methods when confronting stressful situations. Effective coping methods can help mitigate the impact of stressors and prevent both short- and long-term stress-related complications. This study aimed to identify the dyadic coping methods employed by nurses working in the intensive care unit for acute respiratory patients. Methods: A qualitative approach utilizing the descriptive phenomenological method was conducted. The participants included 10 nurses from the intensive care unit for acute respiratory patients at Rasoul Akram Hospital in Kalaleh County, Iran, during 2022. They were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews, and the Colaizzi method was employed for data analysis. Findings: Data analysis revealed 136 initial codes, which were grouped into 33 sub-themes based on semantic similarity. These sub-themes were then classified into six main themes: supportive and constructive behaviors, maintaining and strengthening attachment bonds, caring behaviors, integrating enjoyable activities into daily life, establishing suitable conditions to address physiological needs, spiritual support. Conclusion: Participants' responses demonstrated that the spiritual support and attachment-oriented and supportive behaviors of spouses played a vital role in maintaining and strengthening nurses' morale during extended work shifts. Furthermore, spouses' caring and health-focused behaviors safeguarded nurses from acute respiratory diseases, while providing a calm and restful environment that alleviated their fatigue. The themes identified in this study can inform the design and implementation of prevention and intervention programs for managing stressful situations.
