چکیده

با توجه به اهمیت نهاد خانوده در ایران و نقش کلیدی و مؤثری که زوج‌ها در پایه ریزی و استمرار خانواده‌های مستحکم و با دوام ایفا می‌کنند، لذا تقویت مهارت‌های مرتبط با افزایش "کیفیت زناشویی" در زوجین، امری ضروری به‌نظر می‌رسد. بنابر این هدف این پژوهش، تدوین مدل مضامین مرتبط با کیفیت زناشویی از دیدگاه مردان متأهل بود. این مطالعه به شیوۀ‌ کیفی و با استفاده از رویکرد تحلیل مضمون انجام شد. 20 مرد متأهل ساکن در شهر،  شهرکرد با نمونه‌گیری هدفمند و داوطلب براساس ملاک‌های ورود به پژوهش تا حد اشباع داده‌ها انتخاب و مورد مصاحبه نیمه ساختاریافته قرار گرفتند. در ابتدا هر یک از جمله‌ها یا پاراگراف‌های استخراج‌شده از مصاحبه‌های خام، توسط یک گزاره یا عبارت مفهومیِ کوتاه، توضیح داده شد، سپس گزاره‌های مفهومی بر اساس رویکرد تحلیل مضمون (Atrides & Sterling, 2001) در سه دسته مضامین پایه، مضامین سازمان‌دهندة و مضامین فراگیر و با استفاده از نرم‌افزار  Nvivo 8کدگذاری شدند. ابتدا بیست مضمون اساسی شناسایی شد. از ترکیب و تلخیص مضامین پایه، شش مضمونِ سازمان‌دهنده‌ی ارضای عواطف و احساس‌ها، درک علایق و نیازها، اولویت‌دهی، دلجویی و تسلی خاطر، ضمانت روانشناختی، گذشت و خود قضاوتی حاصل شد و در نهایت با یک پارچه‌سازی مضامینِ سازمان‌دهنده، مضمون فراگیرِ "مهم‌انگاری و به‌حساب‌آوری زنان" استخراج گردید. بر اساس یافته‌های موجود می‌توان نتیجه گرفت که تجربه مردان متأهل نشان می‌دهد که مهم انگاشتن زنان در زندگی زناشویی و القای این احساس به آن‌ها توسط شوهران‌شان از طریق عملکرد و رفتارهای مناسب مهم‌ترین عامل افزایش کیفیت زناشویی محسوب می‌شود. این پژوهش برای مشاوران و روان‌شناسان فعال در حوزه خانواده، جهت آموزش و ارائه مداخلات مناسب در زمینه افزایش کیفیت زناشویی می‌تواند سودمند باشد.

چکیده [English]

Considering the importance of family institution in Iran and the key role of couples in establishment and duration of stable and long-lasting families, it seems necessary to identify and reinforce the skills related to increasing 'marital quality' among couples. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a thematic model related to marital quality from viewpoint of married men. The study was performed with qualitative method and using thematic analysis approach. Twenty married men were selected by targeted sampling and based on entry criteria until theoretical saturation in Shahrekord city and were interviewed by semi-structured method. First, each sentence or paragraph extracted from the raw interviews were explained by a short sentence, then conceptual predicates were encoded in terms of Atrides & Sterling's (2001) thematic analysis approach in three main thematic categories of basic themes, organizing themes, and universal themes using the software (Nvivo 8). First, led to exploration of 20 basic themes. By combination and simplification of the basic themes, 6 organizing themes including satisfaction of emotions, understanding interests and needs, prioritization, appeasement and solace, mental guarantee, forgiveness, and self-critical, were found and finally the universal theme of "considering women important and taking them into account" was extracted. Based on the finding, it can be concluded that, husbands' experiences indicate that considering wives as important in marital life and inducing this feeling to them by their husbands through appropriate function and actions is the most important factor in increasing marital quality.This research can be useful for counselors and psychologists practicing with families to instruct and offer them appropriate interventions to increase their marital quality
