چکیده

فرزندان طلاق تمایل بیشتری دارند که دیرتر ازدواج کنند یا اصلا ازدواج نکنند. آن‌ها مسائل مرتبط با اعتماد و وفاداری را در رابطه خود بیشتر تجربه می کنند و به میزان بیشتری افسردگی و اضطراب دارند. هدف پژوهش حاضر طراحی و بررسی اثربخشی برنامه آموزش پیش از ازدواج بر نگرش به ازدواج و نگرش به طلاق فرزندان طلاق بود. بر این اساس، سه دانشجوی فرزند طلاق با روش نمونه‌گیری هدفمند در شهر اهواز انتخاب شدند. در این پژوهش از طرح آزمایشی تک موردی از نوع خط پایه چندگانه استفاده شد. برنامه آموزش پیش از ازدواج در 10 جلسه اجرا شد و آزمودنی ها در سه مرحله خط پایه و چهار مرحله مداخلهء آموزشی به مقیاس نگرش به ازدواج براتن و روزن (MAS) و مقیاس نگرش به طلاق کینایرد و جرارد (ADS) پاسخ دادند. داده‌ها به روش ترسیم دیداری، شاخص تغییر پایا (RCI) و فرمول درصد بهبودی تحلیل شدند. نتایج این پژوهش نشان داد که برنامه آموزش پیش از ازدواج باعث افزایش نگرش مثبت به ازدواج شد، ولی بر نگرش به طلاق اثربخشی معناداری نداشت. این پژوهش نشان داد برنامه آموزش پیش از ازدواج می‌تواند برای کمک به فرزندان طلاق مؤثر باشد و خانواده‌درمانگران می‌توانند از این روش آموزشی برای بهبود فرایند آمادگی ازدواج به فرزندان طلاق استفاده کنند.

چکیده [English]

Children of divorce tend to delay marriage or not marry at all. They also tend to experience trust and loyalty issues and have higher rates of anxiety and depression. The purpose of this study was to design and evaluate the effectiveness of premarital education program on attitude toward marriage and attitude toward divorce in children of divorce. Accordingly, three students from divorced parents were selected by purposive sampling in Ahvaz. In this study, a multiple baseline single case experimental design was used. The premarital education program was implemented in 10 sessions and the subjects responded to The Attitude toward Marriage Scale and The Attitude toward Divorce Scale in three stages of baseline and four stages of educational intervention. Data were analyzed by visual analysis, reliable change index (RCI) and percent improvement formula. The results of this study showed that the premarital education program increased the positive attitude toward marriage but was not significant in the attitude toward divorce. This research showed that the Premarital Education Program can be effective in helping children of divorce and family therapists can use this program to improve the process of readiness for marriage in children of divorce.

Extended Abstract

Background and purpose

Despite all attempts to intervene in divorce, many children experience parents' divorce (Hong, 2020). Divorce is described as something more than the parents' physical separation, which is often characterized by a series of prolonged conflicts before any separation (Potter, 2010). Children reflect on marriage and entering into a long-term relationship by observing their parents' relationship quality in childhood and after experiencing their first romantic relationship (Collardeau and Ehrenberg, 2016). Attitude towards marriage refers to a person's general beliefs and feelings about romantic relationships (Reggio and Wieser, 2008). A review of existing literature shows that the experience of conflict, followed by parents' divorce or separation in the family, plays an essential role in children's attitudes toward future romantic relationships and interpersonal relationships with others (Trotter, 2010). Past experiences, such as parental conflicts or divorce, affect young people's attitudes toward themselves and others, which can ultimately influence the way they behave in their personal relationships (Cui, Fincham, & Durtschi, 2011). Schaan, Schultz, Schächinger, and Vögele (2019) showed that children of divorce experience more disorders such as depression, childhood trauma, avoidant attachment, anxious attachment, and acute stress than others. In spite of acknowledging the importance of premarital education programs for adult children of divorce, there have been limited plans for developing an educational program to improve the children of divorce' attitude toward marriage and divorce. So, the importance of conducting this research is felt more than ever. Therefore, the present study seeks to design and propose a premarital education program for those who have experienced parental divorce, and in a sense, it aims to answer the question of whether this premarital educational program has an effect on adult children of divorce' attitudes toward divorce?

 

Method

This study used a single-case experimental design (SCED), which is also called a single-subject experiment and is a kind of clinical trial. This design has different types, including AB, ABAB, Multiple Baselines, and Changing Criterion Designs (Rizvi and Nock, 2008). In this study, a multiple baseline design was used. The study population was all Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz students in the 2020-2019 academic year whose parents divorced at least one year ago. Among them, three people who met the inclusion criteria were selected through purposive sampling. The premarital education program for children of divorce has been developed based on current authors' research findings. In this study, the content validity ratio (CVR) achieved for all goals in the educational protocol between 0.91 to 1. and the content validity index (CVI) for all goals in the educational package was between 0.9 to 1. The premarital education program was conducted in 10 sessions. The subjects responded to the Bratton-Rosen Marriage Attitude Scale (MAS) and the Kinnair and Gerrard Divorce Attitude Scale (ADS) in three baseline phases and four educational intervention phases. Data were analyzed by visual analysis, reliable change index (RCI), and improvement percentage formula.

As can be seen in Table 1, the reliable change index for all three subjects in the Marriage Attitude Scale were 2.79, 1.99 and 1.98, respectively, and since these three values ​​were greater than Z=1.96, The results showed that subjects' changes into a positive attitude towards marriage are clinically significant. All three subjects showed a significant improvement (29.1%, 10.4%, and 12%) in Marriage Attitude Scale.  Thus, the premarital education program for children of divorce caused an increase in the positive attitude towards marriage. In addition, the subjects' changes in the attitude towards divorce were not significant, and the premarital education program for the children of divorce did not cause a significant change in the attitude towards divorce.

 

Conclusion

One of the unique features of this program is analyzing the damage associated with parent relationships and re-evaluating it. This program helps children of divorce analyze the traumatic events of parental conflicts, view the disagreement and tensions within parental relationships from different aspects, and challenge their dysfunctional beliefs about marriage. Expressing negative emotions related to the past helps children in divorce form a more constructive narrative about their parents. Children of divorce need to accept their parents as human beings and classify their experiences and interactions as hurtful and non- hurtful behaviors.The purpose of this program was to make the children of divorce believe that their future is in their own control and not predetermined. One of the divorced children of divorce' significant experiences was their response to accepting the view that their future would not be affected by their parents' past. The strong emphasis of this program on differentiation and recognition of psychological needs can set the stage for healthier interactions in intimate relationships. Children of divorce realize the importance of essential communication elements such as forgiveness, sacrifice, problem-solving, compromise in the stability and consolidation of marriage. As a synthesized program based on evidence base in Iran and other countries, this program showed that it could be effective for children of divorce. Cultural considerations related to divorce have been considered in designing this program, and the high satisfaction of the participants in this study at the end of the educational program is a qualitative indicator of its adjustment-oriented content.
