Introduction: In an emotional divorce with a lack of trust, respect, and affection for each other, couples try to persecute, fail, and degrade self-esteem. And each one is in order to find a reason to prove the defect and exclusion of another. The present study was conducted to determine the pervalnce and components of emotional divorce in married nurses in Tehran hospitals.
Methods: The research methoed was a descriptive and corrlational study. A total of 150 married nurses from Tehran hospitals were selected through multi-stage and cluster random sampling by 2016. To collect the data, Gottman’s emotional divorce scale and researcher-made emotional divorce questionnaire in 60 items and 11 components based on Gatman's divorce views (1997), Kessler's divorce (1975), Sternberg Love Triangle (1988) and the quality of marital relationships Marx (1989) was used. After analyzing the questionnaires, the data were analyzed with factor analysis by SPP20 software. Results: Data analysis showed that 11 factors: Criticism, insult, defensive behavior, non-cooperation, frustration, fault, erosion, mourning, foolish love, null love and separation composition can measure the variables of emotional divorce (P < 0.05). And the physical separation component does not have the ability to measure emotional divorce (P > 0.05). Also, the amount of emotional divorce in the sample group was 39.3%.
Conclusions: The results showed that, in fact, the significant reduction of positive interactions and satisfaction in the relationship between the two sides provides the basis for emotional divorce. This phenomenon will lead couples to divorce and formal separation if they are not treated. According to the results of this study and identifying the components of emotional divorce, it is hoped that by holding marriage specialized, Couple Therapy Courses, Pre-marriage counseling workshops, it would be desirable to prevent the occurrence of this phenomenon.
