The results of the studies indicate that family empowerment is such a way that the role of the family as group can differently change its members in different circumstances to get to a level of satisfaction. Therefore, modeling based on family psychological mechanisms can improve mental health and marital satisfaction through family-oriented psychological interventions. As a result, ignoring such an issue puts a lot of burden on individuals and society. Consequently, investigating the psychological variables can help better understanding the effectiveness of family-oriented psychological interventions and promote mental health of family members and marital satisfaction. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of family-oriented psychological interventions on pregnant mothers’ mental health and marital satisfaction in Tehran city. The research method was quasi-experimental.
