Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, bilişsel davranışçı yaklaşıma dayalı evlilik ilişkisini geliştirme programının evli bireylerin evlilik uyum düzeylerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Araştırmanın deney grubunda 15 ve kontrol grubunda 15 kişi bulunmaktadır. Bu araştırmada kontrol gruplu ön-test ve son-test modeli kullanılmıştır. Deney ve kontrol gruplarına, Evlilikte Uyum Ölçeği ön-test ve son-test olarak uygulanmıştır. Deney ve kontrol gruplarının ön-test ve son-test puanları ortalamaları arasındaki farklılığın anlamlı olup olmadığını saptamak amacı ile Mann-Whitney U testi ve Wilcoxon İşaretli Sıralama testi kullanılmıştır. Evlilik ilişkisini geliştirme programının evli bireylerin evlilik uyum düzeylerini artırdığı saptanmıştır. Programa katılan bireylerin, programa katılmayanlara göre evlilik uyumu son-test puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Ayrıca deney grubundaki bireylerin son-test puanları ön-test puanlarından anlamlı ölçüde yüksek bulunmuştur. Kontrol grubundaki bireylerin ön-test ve son-test puanları arasında anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır. Elde edilen bulgular literatür ışığında yorumlanmış ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Evlilik ilişkisini geliştirme programı, evlilik uyumunu artırmada kullanılabilir.
