Aim and Background: Improving the level of marital satisfaction can strengthen family ties and promote a long-lasting marriage. Cognitive-behavioral techniques, such as problem-solving, have proven to be efficacious in mitigating conflicts and augmenting marital satisfaction. Therefore, the current study was undertaken to scrutinize the effectiveness of family-oriented problem-solving training in couples’ marital satisfaction.
Methods and Materials: This is a quasi-experimental applied study with a pretest and posttest design and a control group. The statistical population included married individuals who referred to the Psychological Counseling Center at Islamic Azad University of Kermanshah Branch, Iran, in 2019. Initially, 30 couples were selected by purposeful sampling, who were then randomly assigned to the experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The experimental group then received ten 90-minute sessions of family-centered problem-solving training, while the control group did not receive any intervention. The Afrooz Marital Satisfaction Scale (2010) was used for data collection. After the posttest stage, the collected data were analyzed in SPSS version 22 using descriptive statistics and covariance analysis.
Findings: Covariance analysis revealed that the utilization of family-oriented problem-solving training had a significant influence on boosting couples’ marital satisfaction (p<0.05).
Conclusions: The current study's findings suggest that the family-oriented problem-solving training program is a valuable and successful intervention for enhancing couples' marital satisfaction.
