Background: The marietal confilict have negative and deep effects on couple and family relation. Resilience increases the capacity of the family against conflicts. Rebuilding the emotional couple’s relationship can improved the family resilience. Until now, in Iran, a protocol based on local theories to improve the emotional couple relationship to increase the family resilience has not been investigated.
Aims: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of the "Couple Exploration Circle" protocol on the resilience of families involved in marital conflicts.
Methods: This research was conducted using a semi-experimental method of pre-test and post-test and a six-month follow-up. The statistical population of the research included all couples with marietal confilicts who referred to the counseling center in Tehran in 2020. Using the convinence sampling method, the statistical sample of the research included 16 couples with sever confilict. To collect information, the Marietal Confilict Questionair and the Sixbey’s Family Resilience Test were used.
Results: Based on the results, the effect of participating in “Community of Couple Inquiry”was confirmed on all subscales of family resilience except for family spirituality (p< 0.05). Examination of the t-test showed that the intervention had the greatest effect on the family relationships component and the ability to make sense of difficulties component. The results of the follow-up test also showed that this effect on family resilience was still significant six months after the intervention (P≤ 0.001).
Conclusion: According to the results of this research, it was found that the "Community of Couple Inquiry" protocol improves the family resilience by reviving the mature and caring components of the couple's emotional relationship. Therefore, in the management of marital conflicts, it is suggested to use protocols based on emotional cognitive correction, which are in line with the family-oriented culture of Iran.
