Abstract
(en) Objective and hypothesis Mindfulness is a common practice in the fields of stress or pain management but it has only been used for 10 years on conjugal relationships. This study called “psycho-corporelle” compares a 3-weeks audio record of PC and relaxation using a random allocation of subjects. The general hypothesis is that a PC training is more efficient than a relaxation exercice to improve conjugal satisfaction. Method and tools 10 couples have participated to the study in total. Half the couples (n = 5) have been randomly assigned to the PC group and the other half to the relaxation group (n = 5). An audio recording of mindfulness as well as an audio recording of relaxation have been created and listened to every week by women in a relationship in order to improve the conjugal satisfaction. To compare the effectiveness of both training, repeated-measure ANOV-type statistical analysis were conducted. Results Both groups have significantly improved their conjugal relationship satisfaction. However, it appears that after a month of training, only the PC training continued to show improvements. Conclusion Looking at the long-term benefits, PC training seems to be more efficient than relaxation exercice to improve couples/conjugal relationship satisfaction.
