چکیده مقاله

Abstract Family consistency is affected by the quality of spouses’ relationships. Therefore, identifying the effective factors on the interpersonal affective relationships of couples is of particular importance. The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between personality traits and marital burnout in nurses. The research design was descriptive-correlational. Among married nurses in Kashan hospitals, 210 were studied by convenience sampling method. Couple burnout measure (CBM) and Neo personality traits inventory (NEO-FFI) were used to collect information. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (correlation and regression analysis). Findings showed that between neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, conscientiousness, agreement and marital burnout are correlated as 0.11, 0.24, -0.25, -0.25 and -0.07, respectively. In addition, the results of regression analysis indicated that the three traits of neuroticism, agreement and openness to experience predicted 14.6% of the variance of marital burnout. The results indicated that personality traits are related to marital burnout and the role of the three traits of neuroticism, agreement and openness to experience in marital burnout is higher, and accordingly, it can be said that educational and counseling interventions related to marriage and couple therapy focused on personality traits can play a role in preventing and treating marital burnout.
