Overview

Descriptive survey reveals low awareness of psychotherapeutic interventions for marital conflict among couples, highlighting barriers to formal evidence-based counseling.

Key Points

  • To examine the awareness of psychotherapeutic interventions, identify primary causes of marital conflict, and evaluate the effect of therapeutic conflict resolution strategies on divorce and separation rates.
  • Conducted a descriptive quantitative survey involving 175 clients and 21 professional users from registered counseling and mediation centers in Ibadan, Nigeria.
  • Measured conflict dynamics and intervention awareness using the Adapted Kansas Marital Conflict Scale (AKMCS).
  • Analyzed associations using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and linear regression at a significance threshold of p = 0.05.
  • Financial difficulties (mean = 3.09), extended family interference (mean = 3.01), and spousal infidelity (mean = 3.00) represented the leading causes of marital conflict.
  • Psychotherapeutic strategies did not significantly predict divorce or separation rates (R = 0.086, R² = 0.007, F(1, 173) = 1.287, p = .258).
  • Conflict resolution strategies showed no significant correlation with divorce or separation rates (r = −0.10, p = .189), primarily driven by low awareness and minimal engagement with evidence-based modalities like CBT and EFT.
