Abstract

Background: One of the traumatic factors in the family structure is the issue of Marital Infidelity, which causes the most painful experiences related to marital life. Considering the value and status of the family institution, special attention should be paid to the damage caused by Marital Infidelity, especially in women. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Compassion-based Couple Therapy (CBCT) on Forgiveness and Marital Life Quality of women affected by Marital Infidelity. Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest-follow-up design with a control group. The study population consisted of women affected by Marital Infidelity in Tabriz city who referred to the specialized counseling centers of this city in 1402. Among them, 30 people were selected using a purposeful sampling method and were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups (15 people each). Members of the experimental group received compassion-focused couple therapy for eight sessions 90 minutes each. While members of the control group received no treatment. Both groups responded to Rye, et al (2001) 15-question Forgiveness and Zhang, et al (2013) 39-question Marital Life Quality questionnaires before, after, and 4 months after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24 software using a chi-square test, t-test, and mixed analysis of variance with repeated measures. Results: The results revealed no significant difference between the scores of Forgiveness and quality of marital life in the experimental group and the control group in the pre-test (p<0. 05). The CBCT increased Forgiveness and quality of marital life in women affected by Marital Infidelity in the post-test compared with the control group (p<0. 001). The effects of CBCT on Forgiveness and quality of marital life persisted until the follow-up phase (p<0. 001). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that Compassion-based Couple Therapy can improve Forgiveness and the quality of marital life in women affected by Marital Infidelity. Therefore, counselors and therapists can apply the above-mentioned treatment method to help families increase Forgiveness and the quality of marital life in women
