“…The steps of translation and psychometric evaluation of this questionnaire have been previously conducted in Iran. 27 In the current research, alpha reliabilities for ideal distortion, marital satisfaction, communication, conflict resolution, and overall scale were .802, .801, .822, .70, and .928, respectively.…”

Background: The present study was conducted to examine the relationship between two dimensions of work-family conflict (WFC) with marital satisfaction and burnout in a society in which few studies have been done about the consequences of WFC. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2015. Surveys were distributed to 420 employed married women with various jobs living in Bushehr province, Iran. Data were collected using a questionnaire for demographic characteristic, the Netmeyer’s WFC questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory: General Survey (MBI-GS), and Enrich maritalsatisfaction questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: There was a negatively significant association between work interference with family(WIF) and overall burnout as well as emotional exhaustion (P < .01). Family interference with work (FIW) was significantly associated with depersonalization (P < .01). The overall marital satisfaction and its subscales were significantly associated with WIF (P < .01) and FIW (P < .01 for overall marital satisfaction and P < .05 for its subscales).Conclusion: In terms of practical implication, to avoid creating disadvantages of WIF and FIW,facilitation in two domains of improving work and family conditions can be a useful means to prevent WFC and its consequences.

“…Marital satisfaction was assessed by using the 47-question form of Enrich marital satisfaction questionnaire (on a 5-point Likert scale) that was validated in Iranian culture (14). It was consisted of four domains: 'idealistic distortion' (5 questions), 'marital satisfaction' (16 questions), 'conflict resolution' (12 questions) and 'communications' (14 questions).…”

Methods: : In this cross-sectional study, 147 nulliparous women in the second trimester of pregnancy were selected using a single stage cluster sampling from Sari city, Iran, between March and July 2015. Data were collected using the demographic checklist, Spielberger anxiety inventory and enrich marital satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (ANOVA, t-test, Pearson coefficient correlation and liner regression) by the SPSS v.18 software. The P value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: : The mean scores of state anxiety, trait anxiety and marital satisfaction of the participants were 39.01±8.71, 39.12±8.42, and 176.61±27.38, respectively. According to the results of regression analysis, marital satisfaction could predict 21% and 17% of variations of state anxiety and trait anxiety of the pregnant women, respectively (P < 0.001). Conclusion: :The assessment of marital satisfaction should be considered during the evaluation of pregnant mothers who suffer from anxiety and vice versa. When marital dissatisfaction exists, the psychological assessment of maternal status is recommended.

“…The length of the questionnaire has been pointed out as a limitation of its use. Thus, Fowers and Olson (1993) developed a brief version, which is easy and quick to apply (Ferrão et al 2019), and, nowadays, we can find several versions with smaller numbers of items, such as 47 items (e.g., Soleimanian 1994), 35 items (Alidoosti et al 2011;Asoodeh et al 2011), 15 items (Fowers and Olson 1993), and 10 items (e.g., Escribà-Agüir and Artazcoz 2011). The difference between the last two versions is related to the use of the Idealistic Distortion Scale (5 items), a dimension that was developed to control for the social desirability in the assessment of the marital relationship satisfaction (i.e., to overcome the propensity to evaluate the marital relationship in an unrealistically positive way).…”

Marital satisfaction is a key construct in the assessment of a couple’s relationship, and it encompasses aspects such as the feelings of affection, trust, and companionship that arise from the exchanges between spouses. The ENRICH Marital Satisfaction (EMS) Scale has been widely used as a reliable measure to assess marital satisfaction. In the present study, we aimed to analyze the psychometric properties and the factor structure of the EMS Scale in a sample of Portuguese parents. A total of 205 mothers and fathers participated; 107 were women (52%), and 98 were men (48%), and the mean age was 38.39 years (SD = 5.85). The majority were two-parent families (89.3%), with children between the ages of 1 and 13 years (M = 6.90), 53% of whom were boys. The participants completed the EMS Scale together with the Parenting Stress Index Short Form and the Parenting Alliance Inventory. The results from a confirmatory factor analysis corroborate the two-dimensional structure of the instrument, with internal validity and reliability values that were suitable for application in the Portuguese population. The EMS Scale can be an important resource, with good psychometric quality, for professionals and researchers, which can be used in assessment and intervention programs, both at the individual and couple levels.
