Coronary artery disease is one of the heart diseases that can make couples face problems and need help.

This research was a semi-experimental study with a pretest and posttest design and with a control group. The statistical population was people with coronary artery disease and their spouses in the winter of 2021. Sixty four couples were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly assigned to three experimental groups and a control group (16 couples for each group). Hope scale of Snyder and perceived stress of Leung et al. were used to assess dependent variables in two stages. The three intervention groups were each treated for 8 sessions of 90 minutes and the control group did not receive any intervention. The data were analyzed by analysis of covariance and post-hoc Bonferroni test.

The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference of integrative behavioral couple therapy and couple schema therapy with the control group in terms of hope (P≤0.0001), but there was no statistically significant difference between the narrative couple therapy and control group and between three interventions. About the perceived stress, the results showed that there was a statistically significant difference of integrative behavioral couple therapy, narrative couple therapy and couple schema therapy with the control group (p≥0.05).

  Considering the effect of integrative behavioral couple therapy and couple schema therapy in increasing hope and effect of the mentioned two interventions and narrative couple therapy in reducing perceived stress among people with coronary artery disease and their spouses. It is recommended to use these interventions in cardiovascular treatment centers.

The statistical population consisted of people with coronary artery disease and their spouses out of which 64 couples were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly assigned to three experimental groups and a control group (16 couples in each group). Affective Capital Questionnaire and Depression Inventory of Beck was used to assess dependent variables in two stages. The three intervention groups were each treated for 8 sessions of 90 minutes and the control group did not receive any treatment. The data were analyzed in SPSS by descriptive and inferential statistics.

  In terms of affective capital, there was a statistically significant difference of integrative behavioral couple therapy, narrative couple therapy and couple schema therapy with the control group (p ≤0.001), and of integrative behavioral couple therapy with narrative couple therapy and couple schema therapy (p ≤0.001). For depression, there was a statistically significant difference of the three intervention groups with the control group, and of integrated behavioral couple therapy and couple schema therapy with couple narrative therapy (p<0.05).

  According to the results, integrative behavioral couple therapy, couple schema therapy and narrative couple therapy are effective in increasing affective capital and reducing depression in people with coronary artery disease and their spouses.

Marital infidelity is the most harmful act in a relationship, destroys the trust of the injured spouse, it reduces resilience and has unfortunate consequences.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of integrative couple therapy and integrative behavioral couple therapy on increasing the resilience of couples affected by infidelity.

The present study is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the study includes couples who committed adultery and have referred to counseling centers in Andishe city in 2018. 24 couples were randomly assigned to three groups (two experimental groups and one control group) by available sampling. The Subjects answered Connor and Davidson resilience questionnaire. Univariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data.

The results showed that integrative couple therapy (F=13/489, 𝝶2=0/325) and integrative behavioral couple therapy (F=31/988, 𝝶2= 0/533)   re effective in increasing the resilience of couples affected by infidelity. Subjects scores in the post-test Connor and Davidson resilience scale had a significant increase compared to the pre-test scores (p <0.05).

Marital infidelity is a multi-causal phenomenon and since no single theory has a path to reality, considering the extent of harms and consequences of infidelity, based on the findings; it is suggested to use effective interventions of integrative approaches.

With the growing complexity of marriage and family, there is abundant literature on marital relationships and marital adjustment and an emerging understanding of how marriage might influence health and well-being. The understanding marital relationship is also very timely, given the changes the institution of marriage has been witnessing over the last several decades. The link between “better” or “worse” marriages and “sickness and health” has been a subject of much researcher interest over the last half-century. Being married contributes to concordance in health behaviors over time between spouses. Moreover, the marital adjustment may also buffer against the impact of non-marital stressors on health behaviors and increase personal resources (i.e., self-efficacy, self-regulatory capacity) needed for initiating and maintaining health behavior change. The marital strain may add or interact with non-marital stressors leading to increased use of health-compromising behaviors to cope with such stressors and decreasing personal resources that could be used during change attempts. Marital adjustment, which refers to affective and cognitive states along with the related actions that are precedent to terminating a relationship, is a crucial indicator of well-being. Several studies have shown that separated and divorced couples experience more significant risk for mental and physical health problems, as well as can have strong negative consequences for their children, such as impacting their children’s mental health, academic and social performance. Since marriage maladjustment is detrimental to the family unit and society, the importance of identifying the factors that promote marital adjustment is overwhelmingly apparent. Meanwhile, the role of the family and the way their members communicate with each other in shaping the quality of marital life is very important. The beliefs and cognitions that exist in the minds of individuals, such as couples, affect their communication. Understanding these beliefs and their influence on couples, family functioning, marital adjustment and the continuity of this relationship cannot be ignored. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of the integrative behavioral couple therapy and couple rational- emotive- behavior therapy on communication beliefs among maladjustment couples.

The statistical population of this study was all couples with marital complaints referred to Ilam counselling and psychology centres in 2017. Among them, 30 couples were selected through the available sampling method and accidentally homogenized in three groups. Relationship Belief Inventory by Eidelson & Epstein (1982) for pre-test and post-test.

The results of this study showed that Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy was effective on post-test scores of disagreement is destructive belief (20.10±2.58, p=0.001), mindreading is expected belief (22.50±4.12, p=0.001), partners cannot change belief (22.50±4.12, p=0.001), sexual perfectionism belief (22.40±3.72, p=0.001) and sexes are different belief (22.00±3.43, p=0.001). Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy was effective on post-test scores of disagreement is destructive belief (19.45±2.23, p=0.001), mindreading is expected belief (23.40±3.16, p=0.002), partners cannot change belief (23.75±3.41, p=0.003), sexual perfectionism belief (22.00±3.15, p=0.001) and sexes are a different belief (22.30±3.71, p=0.001).

The purpose of psychotherapy is to make desirable changes in the system of individual beliefs. Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy is characterized by commonly accepted approaches to cognition and behavior, which emphasizes thinking, judging, deciding, analyzing and practicing. Another method used for couple treatment is Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy.
