Investigation of The Effectiveness of the Mindfulness-Based Group Psychological Counseling Program in Couples

Öz:
The study aims at the effects of mindfulness-based group counseling programs on interpersonal mindfulness levels. This is an experimental study with experimental and control groups based on the pretest, posttest, and follow-up models. The research consists of couples who are married for at least 1 year and graduated from secondary education in İstanbul. The data of the study were obtained with the mindfulness in marriage scale. A 10-week mindfulness-based psychological counseling program was applied to the experimental group by the researcher. Any training was not given to the control group. Follow-up measurement for the experimental group was performed two months after the posttest. As a result of the research findings, a mindfulness-based psychological group counseling program increased the Interpersonal mindfulness scores of the couples. It is seen that there is a significant difference between the mindfulness pre-test-post-test and pre-test-follow-up test scores of the married couples in the experimental group. However, there is no statistically significant difference between the mindfulness pre-test and post-test scores of married couples in the control group.

Araştırma, deney ve kontrol gruplu; ön test, son test, izleme testi modeline dayalı deneysel bir çalışmadır. Araştırma, İstanbul ilinde yaşayan en az 1 yıllık evli ve en az ortaöğretim mezunu çiftlerden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri “Evlilikte Bilinçli Farkındalık ölçeği” ile elde edilmiştir. Deney grubuna araştırmacı tarafından 10 haftalık bilinçli farkındalık temelli grupla psikolojik danışma programı uygulanmıştır. Kontrol grubuna herhangi bir program uygulanmamıştır İzleme ölçümleri, son test uygulamasından iki ay sonra yapılmıştır. Elde edilen araştırma bulgularının sonucunda, uygulanan grupla psikolojik danışma programı, uygulamaya katılan çiftlerin evlilikte bilinçli farkındalık puanlarını artırmıştır. Deney grubunda yer alan evli çiftlerin bilinçli farkındalık ön test-son test ve ön test-izleme testi puanları arasından anlamlı farklılık olduğu görülmektedir. Ancak kontrol grubunda yer alan evli çiftlerin bilinçli farkındalık ön test ve son test puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamaktadır.
