| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Marriage is a crucial aspect of human life, offering profound intimacy and companionship. A successful marriage provides a sense of belonging and protection against life's challenges, while a failed marriage can lead to significant distress. Aim: This study aimed to investigate how resilience mediates the effects of perfectionism on marital adjustment. Subjects and Method: Design: A descriptive correlational design was used, adhering to STROBE guidelines. Setting: The study was conducted at the Faculties of Nursing at Damanhour University and Alexandria University, Egypt. Subjects: The sample included married nursing students, selected through convenience sampling. Tools: Data were collected using three tools: Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale ( -Item Version), Perfectionism Scale, and Marital Adjustment Scale. Results: Most participants reported high levels of resilience and marital adjustment, while perfectionism was moderate to high. Correlation analysis revealed negative correlation between resilience and perfectionism, strong positive correlation between resilience and marital adjustment, and negative correlation between perfectionism and marital adjustment. Path analysis confirmed that resilience partially mediated the negative effects of perfectionism on marital adjustment. Conclusion: The study reveals that resilience positively influences marital adjustment, while perfectionism negatively impacts it. Resilience partially mediates the relationship between perfectionism and marital adjustment, suggesting that enhancing resilience can mitigate the adverse effects of perfectionism on marital satisfaction. Implications: Mental health nurses should plan cognitive-behavioral therapy to address maladaptive perfectionism and enhance resilience, improving marital adjustment. Psycho-education and counseling programs should focus on setting realistic expectations, improving communication skills, and fostering resilience among nursing students. Premarital counseling and ongoing support can help couples manage conflicts and maintain a stable, satisfying marital relationship, contributing to their wellbeing and the quality of care they provide | ||||
