Background: Marital satisfaction is one of the determining factors of life satisfaction in the
elderly people, which is itself influenced by many factors. This study aimed to assess the
marital satisfaction and its relative factors in the elderly people in Kashan city.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 elderly people
whom were covered by health centers in Kashan city. Sampling method was a multi-stage
sampling. Demographic and Persian Enrich questionnaire were used to collect the data. Data
were analyzed using Chi-square, Fisher's test, Pearson correlation and model of logistic
regression.
Results: The mean score of marital satisfaction in elderly people was 107.89±12.3. The
mean scores in subscales of sexual satisfaction, communication, conflict resolution, and
idealistic distortion were 31.82±5.48, 30.3±4.32, 29.29±4.9, and 16.39±1.3, respectively. In
univariate analysis, the level of education, income, home ownership, re-marriage, physical
problem, and marriage duration had a significant relationship with marital satisfaction
(P<0.05) but variables of age, gender, occupation, smoking, number of children and
polypharmacy had no significant relationship with marital satisfaction (P>0.05). Multivariate
analysis showed that income home ownership, re-marriage and physical problem were
predictors of marital satisfaction (P<0.05). These factors explained 18% of variance.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, marital satisfaction was moderate in the
elderly people. Therefore, to improve marital satisfaction of elderly people attention should
be paid to predictive factors such as income, home ownership, re-marriage and physical
problem.
