Abstract
A study was conducted to determine the Effectiveness of Relationship Enhancement Program on Psycho social well being among Women with Marital discord at selected community area, Salem. A quantitative research approach with quasi-experimental (pre test post test with control group) design was adopted. The settings of the study were Karipatti community area, Salem as experimental group and Poolavari community area, Salem as control group. Sixty women with marital discord were selected by purposive sampling technique. Screening was done with modified conflict tactic scale to draw the women with marital discord. Level of psychosocial well being was assessed by using author devised interview scale. Relationship Enhancement Program was carried out in three stages for one hour per day. Followed with 21 days of practice of the relationship enhancement program, post test was conducted on day 27th and 28th day both for experimental and control group respectively. The data gathered were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that during pre test, in experimental group, all 30 (100%) women with marital discord had moderate impairment in psychological well being where as in control group 28(80%) women with marital discord had moderate impairment in psychosocial well being and 2 (20%) women with marital discord had severe impairment in psychosocial well being. During post test, in experimental group, 8 (26.7) had mild impairment in psychosocial well being and 22 (73.33%) had moderate impairment in psychosocial well being. In control group 28(80%) have moderate impairment in psychosocial well being and 2(20%) had severe impairment in psychosocial well being. The pre test mean score level of psychosocial well being among women with marital discord in experimental group is 53.06± 5.87 and the mean post test score is 38.03±6.38 with a mean difference of -15.03.The estimated paired 't' value 13.43 is significantly higher than the table value 2.05 at p≤ 0.05 level. It shows that the relationship enhancement program is effective in improving the level of psychosocial well being among women with marital discord. Hence the research hypothesis H1 is retained at p≤0.05 level. There was a significant association between the level of psychosocial well being among women with marital discord and their age in control group. Hence hypothesis H3 is retained for the above mentioned demographic variable at p≤0.05 level. The study implies that Relationship Enhancement Program was effective for improving psychosocial well being among women with marital discord.
