چکیده

هدف: پژوهش حاضر با هدف تعیین اثربخشی زوج‌درمانی مبتنی بر تصویرسازی ارتباطی بر دلزدگی زناشویی و نگرش به روابط فرازناشویی در زوجین متعارض انجام شد.
 
روش: پژوهش حاضر نیمه‌آزمایشی با طرح پیش‌آزمون، ‌پس‌آزمون و پیگیری سه ماهه با گروه کنترل بود. جامعه آماری را تمامی زوجین متعارضی که در سال­های 1401_1402 به مراکز مشاوره شهر همدان مراجعه کرده بودند تشکیل دادند که پس از غربالگری با پرسشنامه تعارضات زناشویی ثنایی‌، علاقمند، فلاحتی و هومن (1387)، 30 زوج که از نقطه برش 135 نمره بالاتری کسب کرده بودند به صورت هدفمند به عنوان نمونه انتخاب و به صورت تصادفی در 2 گروه (یک گروه آزمایشی، یک گروه کنترل) قرار داده شدند (هر‌ گروه 15 زوج). گروه آزمایشی تحت پروتکل زوج‌درمانی تصویرسازی ارتباطی هندریکس و هانت (2013) که هفته‌ای یک بار در 10 جلسه 90 دقیقه‌ای برگزار شد قرار گرفت، اما گروه کنترل مداخله‌ای دریافت نکرد. ابزار پژوهش شامل پرسشنامه دلزدگی زناشویی پاینز (1996) و پرسشنامه نگرش به روابط فرازناشویی واتلی (2008) بود. تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌‌ها با استفاده از روش تحلیل واریانس با اندازه‌گیری مکرر و با نرم افزار SPSS-26 انجام شد.
 
یافته‌ها: زوج‌درمانی تصویرسازی ارتباطی بر بهبود دلزدگی و کاهش نگرش مثبت به روابط فرازناشویی در زوجین متعارض مؤثر بوده است. این تأثیر در مرحله پیگیری نیز پایدار بود (001/0 P=).
 
نتیجه‌گیری: توصیه می‌شود مراکز مشاوره زوج‌درمانی تصویرسازی ارتباطی را برای بهبود دلزدگی و کاهش نگرش مثبت به روابط فرازناشویی در زوجین متعارض به کار گیرند.

Data analysis was conducted using repeated measures analysis of variance with SPSS-26 software.
