The marital relationship is at the core the home, and married couples design their family purpose and resolve problems through communication.
Thus, this study was compared dysfunctional communication patterns and to determine the correlation between dysfunctional communication patterns and family problems on the neurosis and normal married couple in order to promote desirable marital
communication.
The data collections was performed in pusan, and the subjects included 143 normal house-wives who lived in Apartments and 100 wives with neurosis.
Korean marital dysfunctional communication questionnaires and family problem questionnaires based on Song-Sung Ja were used in gathering the information.
Data analysis was done by SPSS. T-test was done in order to compare the normal group with the group with neurosis on dysfunctional communication and compare the normal group with the group with neurosis on family problems. Pearson correlation
coefficients were used to determine the correlation between dysfunctional communication patterns and family problems.
One Way ANOVA were used to determine the factors relating dysfunctional communication patterns.
The results of this study were as follows.
1. On the comparison total mean score of the dysfunctional communication, the scores of the group with neurosis(317.158±25.425) were significantly higher than the scores of the normal group(294.059±21.554)(t=4.06,P〈.05〉.
The scores of the wives of the group with neurosis(156.543±18.166)were significantly higher than the scores of the wives of the normal group (143.734±19.415)(t=5.00, P〈.05〉. The scores of the husbands of the group with
neurosis(160.615±27.585)were
significantly higher than the scores of the normal group(150.325±22.996)(t=3.06, P〈.05〉.
2. According to the comparison of communication patterns, the group with neurosis(42.220±7.55) was significantly higher than the normal group(36.902±6.217)in the over-cautious pattern of wives(I=5.78, P〈.05〉. and the group with
neurosis(47.570±8.975)also was significantly higher than the normal group(40.734±7.083) in the sacrificing pattern of wives(t=6.63, P〈.05〉.
The group with neurosis(44.340±13.111) was significantly higher than the normal group (38.846±10.367)in the authoritarian pattern of husbands(t=3.49, P.〈.05〉, and group with neurosis(42.580±8.994) was significantly higher than the normal
group(39.329±8.057) on the over-cautious pattern of husband (t=2.95, P〈.05〉.
3. According to the comparison of dysfunctional communication contents, in the wives, three of the total fifteen items of the authoritarian pattern were significantly different, ten items of the over-cautious pattern were significantly
different,
two
items of the insincere pattern were signficantly different and fourteen items of the scarificing pattern were significantly different(P〈.05〉. In the husbands, eleven of the total fifteen items of the authoritarian pattern were significantly
different.
Seven items of the over-cautious pattern were significantly different, three items of the insincere pattern were significantly different and three items of the sacrificing pattern were significantly different(P〈.05〉.
4. According to the comparison of the unber of family problems and contents, the number of family problems of the group with neurosis(1.56±2.19)was significantly higher than the normal group(1.03±1.04)(P〈.05〉.
In the normal group, 'conflict with mother-in-law' represented 12.93% of the problems, 'differences in values, interests, religions' represented 13.61% and differences in the characters of the married couples' represented 24.49% On the other
hand,
in
the group with neurosis, 'conflict with mother-in-law' represented 10.90% of the problems, 'differences in the characters of the married couple' represented 25.64%.
5. According to the results of the determination of the correlation between dysfunctional communication patterns and family problems in the group with neurosis, the sacrificing pattern of wives was correlated with the number of family
problems(r=.2104,
P〈.05〉, the authoritarian, over-cautious and insincere patterns of the husbands were correlated with the number of family problems(r=.3205, r=.2300, r=.4457, P〈.05〉.
6. According to the results of the determination of the general factors related to dysfunctional communication patterns of the group with neurosis, the wives with authoritarian pattern were influenced by 'age difference', the wives with
over-cautious
pattern by 'no occupation of wives', the wives with insincere pattern by 'age of wife', 'the length of marriage', 'the number of children', and the wives with sacrificing pattren were influenced by 'a period of marriage', The husbands with
authoritarian
pattern were influenced by 'age of wife', and 'the length of marriage', while the husbands with over-cauctious pattern by 'age of wife'.
These results indicate that married couples of the group with neurosis have more dysfunctional communication than the normal group, and marital dysfunctional communication was correlated with the number of family problems.
Thus, in the treatment of neurosis and in the intervention in family problems, it is suggested that nursing intervention be used to turn dysfunctional communication into functional communication.
