Globally, work and family confict has been investigated by many researchers. Yet there is an increased prevalence of
work-family confict and its infuence on the well-being of the female teaching population, especially Nigerian primary
school teachers. This incidence has kept a good proportion of schoolteachers vulnerable to health problems as well as
afected their wellbeing. This study evaluates the efect of rational emotive behaviour therapy on improving the well-being
of female teachers with irrational behaviours arising from the work-family confict. This is a randomized study. A total of
69 female primary school teachers in Enugu state Nigeria who met the criteria for inclusion were used as the study participants. Three self-report measures (Work-Family Confict questionnaire, Multidimensional Health States Scale-Short Form, and Teacher Irrational Belief Scale) were used to collect data. Repeated measures with analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine the efects of the intervention. The fndings of the study revealed that REBT had a signifcant efect on the well-being scores of Nigerian female pimary school teachers with work-family confict when compared to their counterparts in the no-intervention group at Time 2. In addition, the efect of REBT on improving well-being in female teachers with work-family confict was signifcantly maintained at the follow-up measurements (Time 3). In conclusion, it is suggested that REBT is an efective intervention for moderating the efect of work-family confict on the well-being of career female teachers. As such, cognitive behavioural therapists can further examine the efectiveness of REBT using other constructs and cultures. - Publisher
