在本研究中，检查了癌症患者的健康伴侣提供支持的三种不同方式的可能决定因素和影响。研究了伴侣和患者对健康伴侣提供支持的这些方式的看法。对 106 名癌症患者及其亲密伴侣进行了一项调查。健康伴侣对患者应对方式的评价以及提供支持的自我效能与伴侣提供支持的方式有关。认为患者能够更好地应对癌症的伴侣表现出更积极的参与和更少的过度保护。自我效能感高的伴侣表现出更积极的参与，而缺乏自我效能感的伴侣则表现出更多的保护性缓冲。此外，提供支持的方式与患者的福祉和关系满意度有关。当癌症患者的伴侣过度保护时，他们会感到更多的痛苦和更少的控制感。此外，当伴侣更积极地参与时，患者会更积极地评价与伴侣的关系。反过来，患者的痛苦与伴侣表示他们表现出积极参与的程度呈正相关。
In the present study, possible determinants and effects of three different styles of giving support by healthy partners of patients with cancer were examined. Both partners' and patients' perceptions regarding these ways of providing support by healthy partners were studied. A survey was conducted among 106 patients with cancer and their intimate partners. Both healthy partners' evaluation of the patient's coping and their self-efficacy in providing support was related to the ways in which support was provided by partners. Partners who thought the patient was coping better with the cancer showed more active engagement and less overprotection. Partners high in self-efficacy showed more active engagement, whereas partners who lacked this self-efficacy showed more protective buffering. Furthermore, the way in which support was given was related to the patients' well-being and relationship satisfaction. Patients with cancer reported more distress and less feelings of control when their partners were more overprotective. Moreover, patients evaluated the relationship with their partner more positively when their partners were more actively engaged. In turn, patients' distress was positively related to the extent to which partners said they showed active engagement.
