This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Positive Psychotherapy on reducing marital conflicts and enhancing spiritual wellbeing among women with marital conflicts.

Methods and Materials:

A randomized controlled trial design was employed, involving 40 women from Isfahan who experienced marital conflicts. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which received Positive Psychotherapy, or a control group that received no therapeutic intervention. The intervention consisted of ten 90-minute sessions focusing on communication skills, emotional regulation, and spiritual enhancement. Data were collected using standardized measures for marital conflicts and spiritual wellbeing, and analyzed using ANOVA with repeated measures and Bonferroni post-hoc tests.

Results indicated significant improvements in both marital conflicts and spiritual wellbeing for the intervention group compared to the control group. Specifically, the intervention group reported lower marital conflicts (Mean = 2.34, SD = 0.45) compared to the control group (Mean = 3.76, SD = 0.39) with a significant group effect (F(1, 38) = 28.53, p < 0.001). Additionally, spiritual wellbeing scores were higher in the intervention group (Mean = 4.28, SD = 0.33) versus the control group (Mean = 3.22, SD = 0.36) with a significant group effect (F(1, 38) = 24.11, p < 0.001).

Positive Psychotherapy was effective in significantly reducing marital conflicts and enhancing spiritual wellbeing among women with marital conflicts. The structured intervention provided substantial improvements in interpersonal and personal dimensions ofhealth, suggesting its suitability for similar populations facing marital difficulties.

Employing a qualitative research design, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with 22 women who have experienced reproductive coercion. The interviews aimed to achieve theoretical saturation and provide in-depth insights into the participants' experiences. Thematic analysis was utilized to identify key themes and patterns in the data.

The analysis revealed three main themes: the emotional impact, physical health consequences, and coping mechanisms of reproductive coercion. Participants reported significant fear and anxiety, loss of control, depression, isolation, and guilt and shame.
