大量文献表明，患有慢性病的老年人的照顾者健康受损和寿命缩短的风险更高。在这篇文章中，我们回顾了一些研究，这些研究探讨了家庭成员因暴露在伴侣的痛苦中而经历负面健康后果的途径。我们首先给出了痛苦的概念并描述了痛苦的测量方法，然后回顾了痛苦暴露对照顾者健康的独特影响的经验证据，并使用三种情绪理论(格罗斯的情绪调节过程模型、依恋理论和功能主义情绪观点)讨论了照顾者对伴侣痛苦的情绪反应的个体差异。最后，我们讨论了痛苦对家庭照顾者的健康和福祉的影响。
A large literature shows that caregivers of chronically ill older adults have a higher risk for impaired health and decreased longevity. In this paper we review research that addresses pathways through which family members experience negative health consequences from exposure to a partner’s suffering. We first provide a conceptualization of suffering and describe how it can be measured, then review empirical evidence that exposure to suffering uniquely influences caregivers’ health, and discuss individual differences in caregivers’ emotional reactions to partners’ suffering using three emotion theories (Gross’ process model of emotion regulation, attachment theory, and a functionalist perspective on emotion). Finally, we discuss implications of the effects of suffering for the health and well-being of family caregivers.
