This study sought to assess the effectiveness of a marital distress prevention program for couples by examining how marital quality, especially marital competencies such as dyadic coping, could be improved by means of a prevention program focusing on the enhancement of coping resources (Couples Coping Enhancement Training). The study consisted of 59 couples in the intervention group and 59 couples in the matched comparison group. The results reveal that it is possible to improve marital quality, especially marital competencies, by means of one short-term intervention lasting 18 hr. However, the effects decreased after 2 years, raising the importance of booster sessions in helping to maintain effects over a longer period of time.
本研究旨在通过考察婚姻质量，尤其是二元应对等婚姻能力，如何通过聚焦增强应对资源的预防项目（夫妻应对增强训练）得到改善，来评估一项针对夫妻的婚姻困扰预防项目的有效性。该研究包括59对干预组夫妻和59对匹配的对照组夫妻。结果显示，通过一次为期18小时的短期干预，有可能改善婚姻质量，尤其是婚姻能力。然而，两年后效果有所下降，这凸显了强化课程对于在更长时间段维持效果的重要性。
