Abstract

Introduction: Pregnancy is a particularly sensitive period in a woman's life, during which marital satisfaction can fluctuate due to various physical and psychological changes. It is essential to implement measures that enhance marital satisfaction during this time. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of virtual lifestyle education based on Bandura's self-efficacy theory on the marital satisfaction of pregnant women in Ferdows city.
Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted in 2019 with 90 pregnant women attending health centers. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received lifestyle training based on Bandura's self-efficacy theory over four weeks, with sessions held twice a week.
The study utilized Inrich's questionnaires to assess demographic characteristics and marital satisfaction, which were completed before the intervention, immediately after, and one month later. The results were analyzed using SPSS software version 21 and appropriate statistical tests.
Results: In this study, the demographic characteristics of both groups did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). The marital satisfaction score prior to the intervention was 135.02 ± 10.27 in the intervention group and 137.04 ± 8.52 in the control group, showing no statistically significant difference (P = 0.31). However, immediately after the intervention, marital satisfaction increased significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group (P < 0.001). This increase was also significant one month after the intervention (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Virtual lifestyle training based on Bandura's self-efficacy theory is effective in improving the marital satisfaction of pregnant women.
