There was a highly statistically significant improvement in women's knowledge regarding endometriosis after implementing instructional nursing strategy and at follow-up time compared to their knowledge before it at p-value ≥0.001. Also, there was a highly statistically significant improvement in women's practices to alleviate endometriosis symptoms after three months of implementing instructional nursing strategy compared to their self-care practices before it at p-value 0.001.

In order to collect the study data, we used Zareei's self-efficacy questionnaire in divorce management. To analyze the data, we run multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), two-way analysis of variance, and repeated measurement tests. Results: The results of MANOVA analysis indicated that the experimental group used self-efficacy more frequently than the control group in divorce management and its subscales. Moreover, analysis of two-way variance showed that gender did not have a significant correlation with the training results. In other words, the effect of education was the same for both genders. Moreover, the results of repeated measurement analysis indicated significant differences between the levels (pre test with post test and follow up). Conclusion: Gottman-based divorce counseling affected self-efficacy in divorce management of couples applying for divorce in Yazd.
