Abstract :
To explore the components of marital satisfaction in a group of 35
Iranian mothers of six to twelve years old children with
attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in comparison with 35
mothers of normal children in Tehran, Iran, during year 2013, all
mothers completed the demographic checklist and Golombok Rust inventory
of marital satisfaction. Data were analyzed by performing descriptive
statistics and independent t-test using the SPSS software version 21.
There was no statistically significant difference between scores of
marital satisfaction (P = 0.162) yet further data analysis revealed that
martial satisfaction of employed mothers (22.27 ± 10.71 vs. 28.73 ±
12.3, P = 0.42) and those mothers who had a monthly income of more than
6,000,000 Rials (22.95 ± 12.31 vs. 22.21 ± 11.67, P = 0.04) was
significantly better compared with the comparison group. It may be
concluded that employment and reasonable income may contribute to a
lower level of stress and improved relationship among mothers with ADHD
children.
