离婚和破坏性的夫妻冲突是家庭中多种形式功能障碍和精神病理学的主要危险因素。夫妻关系教育旨在减少这些风险并改善夫妻关系。目前的有效性研究有两个目的：评估（a）关系教育的长期影响和（b）合作伙伴记住沟通技能培训期间通常教授的技能的能力。两项研究对 101 对夫妇进行了 EPL（Ein Partnerschaftliches Lernprogramm Fur Paare [针对已婚夫妇的学习计划]）有效性的调查，并在培训后 11 年进行了随访。在第一项研究中，EPL 接受者的离婚和分居率 (27.5%) 显着低于非 EPL 接受者 (52.6%)。第二项研究也重复了这一发现，显示 EPL 接受者的溶解率为 20%。对于那些仍然在一起的夫妇来说，在 11 年的随访中，幸福关系的比率为 80% - 因此，对于愿意专注于改善关系的结婚时间较长的夫妇来说，这是乐观的。只有大约 55% 的合作伙伴能够记住至少一项演讲技巧，而 70% 的合作伙伴至少记住一项 EPL 期间教授的听力技巧。讨论了夫妻领域预防计划的后果。 (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Divorce and destructive couple conflict are major risk factors for many forms of dysfunction and psychopathology in the family. Couple relationship education has been offered in an attempt to reduce those risks and enhance couple outcomes. The current effectiveness study had two aims: to assess (a) the long-term effects of relationship education and (b) the ability of partners to remember the skills typically taught during the communication skills training. One hundred and one couples from two studies, in which the effectiveness of the EPL (Ein Partnerschaftliches Lernprogramm fur Paare [A Learning Program for Married Couples]) was investigated, were followed-up 11 years after the training. In the first study, EPL-takers had a significantly lower divorce and separation rate (27.5%) than non-EPL-takers (52.6%). This finding was replicated in a second study, showing a 20% dissolution rate in EPL-takers. For those couples still together, the rate of happy relationships was 80% at the eleven-year follow-up - thus, there is optimism for longer married couples who are willing to focus on improving their relationships. Only about 55% of the partners could remember at least one speaker skill whereas 70% remembered at least one listening skill taught during EPL. Consequences for prevention programs in the couple domain are discussed. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
