Background& Aims: All couples aspire to have a happy and satisfying married life. Job satisfaction can play a crucial role in determining the quality of marital relationships. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the relationship between job satisfaction and the quality of marital relationships among nurses at Bandar Gaz Shohada Hospital in 2023.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional-correlation study was conducted on nurses working at Bandar Gaz Shohada Hospital in 2023. The research population consisted of all 119 nurses included in the study through census sampling. The data collection tools used were a demographic information questionnaire, a job satisfaction questionnaire (Loutanz), and a marital satisfaction questionnaire (Enrich). The collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 21, utilizing descriptive and analytical statistics. In this study, P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The nurses in Bandar Gaz reported a high mean job satisfaction score (139.81 ± 13.25) and a high mean marital satisfaction score (119.25 ± 19.46), indicating high satisfaction with their jobs and marital relationships. However, Spearman's correlation test showed no significant linear relationship between job and marital satisfaction (r=0.17; p=0.06).
Conclusion: The results showed that all Bandar Gaz Shohada Hospital nurses were extremely satisfied with their marital relationships. There was no correlation between job satisfaction and marital satisfaction. However, counselors and psychologists who specialize in couples therapy should consider emphasizing the significance of job satisfaction as a crucial factor in couples' psychological interventions.
