Abstract
Introduction

: Nursing is one of the most stressful and busiest occupations, operating at

all hours of the day and night. The present study aimed to determine marital satisfaction status and related factors among nurses at Allameh Bohlool Hospital in Gonabad in 2024.

Materials and methods

The present study is a cross-sectional analysis that examined 139 nurses working in Allameh Bohlool Gonabadi Hospital in 2024, who were selected by a stratified random method if they met the inclusion criteria. The data collection tool in this study was the Demographic Information Questionnaire, and the Enrich Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire. Data were analyzed after collection using SPSS version 26 software and at a significance level of less than 5%.

Results

The average age of the studied nurses was 35.45 (standard deviation=8.66)

years and most of them were male (78%). The average total score of marital satisfaction was 148.89 (standard deviation=15.76) and the highest and lowest scores were respectively related to the dimensions of marital satisfaction and the roles related to the equality of men and women. Marital satisfaction has a statistically significant relationship with gender, spouse's age, and work experience (P<0.05).
