The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of structural family therapy and mindfulness-based family therapy in cohesion and adaptability in couples with marital dissatisfaction. The research was a semi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design and a two-month follow-up. The research population comprised all couples with marital dissatisfaction who referred to family counseling centers in Tehran (Iran) in the first 6 months of 2021. Out of this number, 30 couples with marital dissatisfaction were selected using convenience and purposive sampling and were randomly assigned to three groups: structural family therapy, mindfulness-based family therapy and the control group. The research tool was the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale by Olson, Portner and Lavee (1996). In order to analyze the data, repeated measures analysis of variance was used. The findings demonstrated that there is a significant difference between the two experimental groups and the control group in cohesion and adaptability scores. This means that both experimental groups had a significant effect on cohesion and adaptability components (p < 0.05). Further, the results suggested that there is a significant difference between the two experimental groups of structural family therapy and mindfulness-based family therapy in terms of the effectiveness in the components of cohesion and adaptability. Accordingly, the effect of structural family therapy on couple's cohesion and adaptability was greater than that of mindfulness-based family therapy (p < 0.05).
本研究旨在比较结构家庭治疗和正念家庭治疗对婚姻不满意夫妻的凝聚力和适应性的有效性。该研究是一项半实验性研究，采用前测-后测对照组设计，并进行为期两个月的随访。研究人群包括2021年上半年转诊至德黑兰（伊朗）家庭咨询中心的所有婚姻不满意夫妻。其中，通过便利抽样和目的抽样选取了30对婚姻不满意夫妻，并随机分为三组：结构家庭治疗组、正念家庭治疗组和对照组。研究工具是奥尔森、波特纳和拉维（1996年）编制的家庭适应性和凝聚力评估量表。为了分析数据，采用了重复测量方差分析。研究结果表明，两个实验组与对照组在凝聚力和适应性得分上存在显著差异。这意味着两个实验组对凝聚力和适应性成分均有显著影响（p<0.05）。此外，结果表明，结构家庭治疗和正念家庭治疗这两个实验组在凝聚力和适应性成分的有效性方面存在显著差异。因此，结构家庭治疗对夫妻凝聚力和适应性的影响大于正念家庭治疗（p<0.05）。
