Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated factors influencing marital satisfaction, fundamental for raising healthy children, with a focus on women’s individual and social factors such as postpartum depression. In collaboration with K University and as part of a supplementary study to the JECS, an anonymous questionnaire was distributed to 496 mothers of 8-year-old children. Marital satisfaction was measured using scales by Kasai et al. Results showed that mothers with multiple children had higher marital satisfaction than those with only one child, and husband support significantly improved satisfaction. Notably, 65.4% of women who experienced postpartum depression later reported high marital satisfaction. Awareness of childcare support services was also strongly associated with higher satisfaction (adjusted odds ratio: 11.99). These findings highlight the importance of paternal involvement and support awareness in enhancing marital relationships.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は夫婦関係満足度の向上が家族全体の幸福や子どもの健全な成長に直結することを示し、社会全体での家族支援や育児支援の重要性を科学的に裏付けるものである。
夫の育児サポートが夫婦関係を良好に保ち、ひいては子どもの健全な成長にもつながることが示された。これは、男性の育児参加やワーク・ライフ・バランス推進の社会的意義を裏付け、企業や社会全体での働き方改革や意識改革を促す材料となる。さらに、夫婦関係の質が子どもの成長に影響することを踏まえ、家庭内の良好な人間関係や支援体制の重要性を社会全体で認識するきっかけとなる。子どもを取り巻く環境の質向上に貢献すると考える。
