IRCT20190622043969N1 IRCT 2019-10-25 Shahroud University of Medical Sciences Effectiveness of reality therapy on marital intimacy and sexual satisfaction of women Effectiveness of reality therapy with choice theory approach on marital intimacy and sexual satisfaction of young married women 2019-07-01 anticipated 70 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/40356 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: Once participants in research are determined،they are randomly assigned into intervention and control group using quartile blockes. N/A marital intimacy and sexual satisfaction of women. Intervention 1: Intervention group: The training program for the intervention group will be presented in 8 sessions for 90 minutes. The intervention principle in the intervention group is on the basis of the effectiveness of the reality therapy with the theory of choice technique intervention. During the training sessions, combination methods such as face-to-face teaching, group discussion, and distribution of pamphlet are used. The training of newly married women will be done according to the protocol presented in a group of 35 participants.Another considerable issue in this area is training group members to discuss their needs. They are trained to cooperate with each other in a way which leads to both parties satisfaction. In order for couples to assess their own needs and that of their spouse, they are trained to be aware of the qualitative world of themselves and their spouse. Some of the questions used to explore the qualitative world of the person are: If you could choose a place to be there, where would you choose? What would you like to do if you secretly heard someone telling good thing about you, what would you like to hear from him? Evaluating the content of previous sessions and post-test performance. While reviewing the main points of the previous session and answering the questions and issues facing the members in the previous session, evaluating the members in terms of understanding concepts such as behavior selection, internal and external control, qualitative world, basic needs, behavior evaluation, seven behaviors and seven destructive behaviors are dealt with.Researchers believe that if couples do not meet and understand each other’s needs and fail to find a positive solution to achieve these needs, this will lead to stress, frustration, anger and ultimately marital distress ( Atari, Hosseinpour & Rahnavard, 2009). In other words, the existence of serious and pervasive problems of couples in maintaining and developing a close relationship and meeting each other’s expectations and needs can lead to dissatisfaction between the couple and family disruption. Due to detrimental effects of this issue on couples and other family members, it is urgent to address and solve this problem (Taqavi, Taiarpour, and Hashemizadeh, 1977). Thus, regarding the importance satisfying sexual needs of the couples within the context of marital relationship and the role these needs play in developing a healthy relationship between couples ( Crawford & Anger, 2004), it seems quite essential to provide counseling and psychotherapy training and intervention to enrich couple’s relationship and prevent marriage instability. Theory based reality therapy is one of those approaches which emphasizes the importance of responsibly satisfying needs and their role in the personal and interpersonal life of an individual. Despite extensive research background in effectiveness of reality therapy on different aspects of marital life and newly-married couples, there is not enough studies or research about the efficiency of this approach in Iran. Since the field of counseling in midwifery is new in Iran, there is no study or research to investigate the effectiveness of reality therapy based on the ‘theory of choice’ among newly-married couples. Conducting research on this topic seems essential in midwifery counseling.The difference between our study and the previous ones is in different research variables. The effectiveness of choice-based reality theory on the sexual satisfaction of newly-married women has not been established in Iran. And since our aim is not to develop a new protocol; therefore, the choice-based reality therapy protocol will be used for selected couples. The details are as follows:Session 1: introduction and stating the general principles of the sessionSession 2: conceptualizing marital issues using the principle of controllingSession3: conceptualizing marital issues using the essential needs principleSession 4: conceptualizing marital issues using the qualitative world principleSession 5: introduction to behavioral systemSession 6: evaluating current behaviorSession 7: marriage problem solving circleSession 8: evaluating the educational content of previous sessions and post test.
