چکیده

ناباروری به عنوان یک بحران در زندگی مشترک می­تواند به عنوان یک ضربه پرقدرت علیه روابط بین زوج عمل کند. هدف این پژوهش مقایسه اثربخشی زوج­درمانی هیجان­مدار و زوج­درمانی گاتمن بر عملکرد جنسی، رضایت جنسی زناشویی و افسردگی در زوجین نابارور بود. در این مطالعه نیمه­تجربی تعداد 54 زوج نابارور از مرکز ناباروری امید رویان شهر اراک انتخاب و در دو گروه مداخله (36 زوج) و  گروه کنترل (18 زوج) قرار گرفتند. در گروه مداخله، محتوی آموزشی به روش زوج­درمانی هیجان­مدار و زوج­درمانی گاتمن طی ده جلسه 60 دقیقه­ای برای زوجین نابارور اجرا شد و دو مـاه بعـد، پیگیری آزمـون انجـام گرفـت. داد­ه­ها با فرم اطلاعات جمعیت­شناختی، پرسش‌نامه عملکرد جنسی، رضایت جنسی زناشویی و افسردگی و با استفاده از آزمون واریانس آمیخته و  نرم‌افزار spss ورژن 23 تجزیه و تحلیل شد. نتایج نشان داد که بین اثربخشی زوج­درمانی هیجان­مدار و زوج­درمانی گاتمن بر عملکرد جنسی مردان زوجین نابارور تفاوت وجود دارد (P<0/05). ولی بین اثربخشی زوج­درمانی هیجان­مدار و زوج­درمانی گاتمن بر عملکرد جنسی زنان، رضایت جنسی زناشویی زنان و مردان  و افسردگی زوجین نابارور تفاوتی وجود ندارد (P>0/05). همچنین نتایج نشان داد که هر دو روش زوج­درمانی هیجان­مدار و گاتمن بر عملکرد جنسی، رضایت جنسی زناشویی و افسردگی زوجین نابارور مؤثر بوده است و نمرات گروه پس­آزمون و دوره پیگیری بهتر از گروه کنترل بوده است (P<0/05). اجرای هر دو روش زوج­درمانی بر عملکرد جنسی، رضایت جنسی زناشویی و افسردگی زوجین نابارور مؤثر بوده است. بنابراین توصیه می­شود از روش­های زوج­درمانی هیجان­مدار و گاتمن برای بهبود عملکرد جنسی، رضایت جنسی و کاهش افسردگی زناشویی زوجین نابارور  استفاده شود.

چکیده [English]

Infertility as a crisis in marital relationships not only causes psychological problems, but can also act as a powerful blow against the relationship between the couple. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of emotion-oriented couple therapy and Gottman couple therapy on sexual function, marital sexual satisfaction and depression in infertile couples. In this quasi-experimental study, 54 infertile couples from Omid Royan Infertility Center in Arak were selected and divided into two intervention groups (36 couples) and a control group (18 couples). In the intervention group, the training content was performed by emotion-focused couple therapy and Gottman couple therapy in ten 60-minute sessions for infertile couples, and two months later, the test was followed up. Data were collected using demographic information form, sexual function questionnaire, marital sexual satisfaction and depression and was analyzed using SPSS software version 23. The results showed that there is a difference between the effectiveness of emotion-oriented couple therapy and Gottman couple therapy on the sexual performance of men in infertile couples (P<0.05). However, there is no difference between the effectiveness of emotion-oriented couple therapy and Gottman couple therapy on women's sexual performance, marital sexual satisfaction of women and men, and depression of infertile couples. (P<0.05). Also, the results showed that both emotion-oriented couple therapy and Gottman methods were effective on sexual performance, marital sexual satisfaction and depression of infertile couples, and the scores of the post-test group and the follow-up period were better than the control group (P<0.05). The implementation of both methods of couple therapy has been effective on sexual function, marital sexual satisfaction and depression of infertile couples. Therefore, it is recommended that these two treatments including emotion-focused couple therapy and Gottman be used to improve sexual functioning, sexual satisfaction and marital depression of infertile couples.
