Effect Of A Mobile Application Intervention On Knowledge, Attitude, And Practice Related To Marital Satisfaction Among Youth

Abstract

The divorce rate in Indonesia shows a growing trend every year because of weak family resilience. Typically, government bodies conduct premarital counseling in several religious affairs offices, but it is challengingbecause of various constraints. With the development in information technologyto increase efficiency in counseling, researchers are using mobile applications to increase family resilience through premarital counseling. Therefore, to deal with premarital counseling in Indonesia, we propose a new application approachto increase marital satisfaction. We conduct this study for 60 couples by randomly choosingthem to constructa large dataset and produce the outcome. We collected the sample from couples who registered their marriage at the Religious Affairs Office in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. To undergo our experiment, we conducted a pre-test and post-test with an Enrich Marital Satisfaction questionnaire to measure the differences before and after intervention with a paired sample p<0.05. Based on the experiment, we conclude that our approachcan increase marital satisfaction. Thus, it can be a promising solution to deal with weak family resilience in the modern era in Indonesia.
