Pregnancy and childbearing can change the relationship between a couple and their degree of marital satisfaction.
The present study was conducted to determine the effect of women's childbearing characteristics, including age at marriage, childbearing age, the interval between marriage and the birth of the first child, the number of children, age differences between children and children's gender composition (only sons, only daughters or both sons and daughters) on marital satisfaction in women of childbearing age in Tehran.
This descriptive correlational study was conducted on 213 married females aged 15-45 years presenting to health centers in Tehran in 2016. The demographic questionnaire, the Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale and a devised questionnaire on childbearing were used for data collection. The data collected were analyzed with SPSS-17 using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and Pearson's correlation test, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the stepwise regression test.
According to the stepwise regression test, of all the factors associated with marital satisfaction, the number of children showed the highest correlation with marital satisfaction (p < 0.001, r = -0.22). In those with three children, the age difference between the second and third children had the highest correlation with marital satisfaction (p < 0.001, r = -0.5). The variables of age at first childbirth (r = 0.18) and children's gender composition were also significantly related to marital satisfaction (p < 0.005).
The findings suggest that of all the factors associated with marital satisfaction, the number and spacing of children affect marital satisfaction.
怀孕和生育会改变夫妻之间的关系及其婚姻满意度。
本研究旨在确定女性生育特征,包括结婚年龄、生育年龄、初婚与头胎出生间隔、子女数量、子女年龄差和子女性别构成(只有儿子、只有女儿或儿女都有)对德黑兰育龄女性婚姻满意度的影响。
这项描述性相关性研究于2016年对213名年龄在15 - 45岁之间到德黑兰健康中心就诊的已婚女性进行。使用人口统计学问卷、恩里奇婚姻满意度量表和一份设计好的生育问卷收集数据。收集到的数据使用SPSS - 17进行分析,采用描述性统计(均值和标准差)、Pearson相关性检验、方差分析(ANOVA)和逐步回归检验。
根据逐步回归检验,在所有与婚姻满意度相关的因素中,子女数量与婚姻满意度的相关性最高(p < 0.001,r = -0.22)。在有三个孩子的女性中,第二个和第三个孩子的年龄差与婚姻满意度的相关性最高(p < 0.001,r = -0.5)。首次生育年龄(r = 0.18)和子女性别构成变量也与婚姻满意度显著相关(p < 0.005)。
研究结果表明,在所有与婚姻满意度相关的因素中,子女数量和间隔会影响婚姻满意度。
