Background: Nursing as a demanding and stressful profession can negatively impact the marital quality of students in this field. This study investigates the mediating role of marital commitment in the relationship between interpersonal forgiveness, alexithymia, and marital quality in nursing students in Ahvaz- Iran.
Methods: A descriptive correlational research design was employed. A sample of 204 nursing students was selected using a convenience sampling method in the academic year 2022-2023. The subjects completed the Interpersonal Forgiveness Measurement Questionnaire (IFMQ), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS), and Dimensions of Commitment Inventory (DCI). Also, the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS) measured marital quality among the subjects. The proposed model was evaluated using the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. The bootstrap test was employed to examine the indirect relationships. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27.0 for preliminary exploration and Amos 24.0 for SEM analysis. The threshold for statistical significance was set at alpha (α) = 0.05.
Results: Interpersonal forgiveness was significantly and positively correlated with marital quality and marital commitment in nursing students (P<0.001). Additionally, marital commitment showed a positive and significant correlation with marital quality (P<0.001). Alexithymia had a negative and significant correlation with marital commitment in nursing students (P<0.001), but did not show a significant correlation with marital quality. The indirect path from interpersonal forgiveness to marital quality through the mediating role of marital commitment was found to be significant (P<0.001). Similarly, the indirect path from alexithymia to marital quality through the mediating role of marital commitment was also significant (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The study suggests that fostering forgiveness and open communication, which strengthens marital commitment, is paramount for promoting marital quality among nursing students. These findings provide valuable insights for relationship education programs and interventions tailored to this population.
