ABSTRACT

Aims Work-family conflict is a kind of controversial roles that simultaneously engages people in different and incompatible demands, which is due to family and work responsibilities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of solution-focused brief therapy on work-family conflict in personnel of NAJA
Materials & Methods This semi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design was conducted among all NAJA police personnel of prevention in Markazi province in 2017 and 24 people were selected by available sampling method. The data collection tool was Netmeyer family-work conflict questionnaire. The experimental group recieved solution-focused brief therapy. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21 software using multivariate analysis of covariance.
Findings The post-test mean scores of the experimental group in both types of conflicts reduced rather to pre-test. The difference of post-test scores of both groups was significant in work-family conflict (p=0.006) and family-work conflict (p=0.007).
Conclusion Solution-focused brief therapy is effective on work-family conflict and family-work conflict in personnel of NAJA.
