Abstract
This study investigates major contributing factors that determine the marital stability among the disabled women in South Korea. Data collected from 124 women with disabilities were analyzed for this purpose. Multiple regression analysis was used to explore the determinants of the marital instability among the participants. The multiple regression analysis revealed that age, welfare receipt, health condition, depression, marital intimacy, marital satisfaction, marital conflicts and drinking problems were statistically significant predictors to the extent of marital stability among the disabled women in the total model. Based on the study results, several implications such as development of programs to improve marital stability of women with disabilities were discussed.
