Abstract: (2876 Views)
Objective: Marital burnout is one of the factors related to the marital conflicts, so the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of systemic family therapy on marital conflicts and marital burnout in couples.
Methods: The ongoing study adopted a semi-experimental research design consisting of pre-test and post-test measurements with a control group. The target population for this investigation comprised married women seeking assistance at the counseling center in the second educational district of Baharestan in 2023. Following specific eligibility criteria, 30 married women were selected randomly and divided into two groups: 15 individuals in the control group and 15 individuals in the experimental group. The research instruments utilized were Sanai Zaker's Marital Conflict Questionnaire (2000) and the Couple Burnout Measure (CBM) (Pines, 1996).
Results: Data analysis involved the application of multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance to examine the hypotheses using SPSS version 22 software. The findings indicated that the implementation of family therapy proved to be efficacious in diminishing marital conflicts and burnout among married women.
Conclusions: In conclusion, systemic family therapy emerges as a viable intervention for couples experiencing conflict.
