“…In a study on 365 couples, Gholami Tabar (2010) assessed the validity and reliability of the scale, and obtained Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of 0.8, 0.86, 0.84, and 0.83 for the subscales of marital satisfaction, communication, conflict resolution, and idealistic distortion, respectively. [ 32 ] The items are scored on a five-point Likert scale including strongly agree (score 5), agree (score 4), neither (score 3), disagree (score 2), and strongly disagree (score 1). Items 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 32, and 33 are scored inversely, and the total score ranges from 35 to 175.…”

BACKGROUND: Industrialization of societies has placed considerable stress on employees influencing marital and sexual satisfaction. This study investigated the effects of stress management (SM) and relationship enrichment (RE) counseling on marital and sexual satisfaction in stressed women working at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences hospitals, Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this quasi-experimental study, 75 nurses and midwives experiencing moderate-to-severe occupational stress after obtaining written informed consent were assigned to SM and RE counseling and control groups randomly. The SM and RE attended six-related counseling sessions, and control group received no intervention. The participants completed Osipow’s Revised Occupational Stress Inventory (OSI-R), ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale, and Larson’s Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire before and 2 weeks after the intervention. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and ANCOVA. RESULTS: SM counseling led to relatively good increase in sexual satisfaction. In addition, there was no significant difference between the three groups in the mean occupational stress scores and marital satisfaction scores. CONCLUSION: SM counseling increased the level of sexual satisfaction. The approaches had no significant effect on occupational stress and marital satisfaction. Further studies are required to identify the best counseling approaches.
