性别角色冲突或男性社会化的负面后果可能会影响男性对前列腺癌的适应，影响患者如何看待和科普他们的疾病。考虑到性别角色冲突如何相互作用的混合结果与情绪化的方法应对，以调节前列腺癌患者的痛苦，本研究探讨了情绪化的方法应对的影响，当考虑到一起自我同情，善良和理解self.Methodninety-two前列腺癌患者完成了问卷调查，测量性别角色冲突，情绪化的方法应对，自我同情，和痛苦。一个温和的调解模型进行了测试，情绪化的方式应对调解的性别角色冲突和痛苦和自我同情之间的调解路径（1）性别角色冲突和情绪化的方式应对，和（2）性别角色冲突和distress.ResultsResults部分支持这个模型与所有的研究变量预测在预期的方向困扰。情绪化的方法应对没有调解性别角色冲突和痛苦之间的关联，但是，自我同情没有温和的这些variables.ConclusionResults之间的路径表明，更高水平的自我同情可能会保护男性从有关阉割方面的癌症经验的困扰。需要进一步的调查，以了解自我同情如何与情绪性相互作用，并随后影响前列腺癌患者的痛苦。为了更好地了解情感方法应对前列腺癌患者减少痛苦的有效性，建议未来的研究占社会环境的接受男性的情绪表现。
ObjectiveGender role conflict or the negative consequences of male socialization may compromise men's adjustment to prostate cancer by shaping how patients perceive and cope with their illness. Given mixed findings regarding how gender role conflict interacts with emotional approach coping to regulate distress in prostate cancer patients, the present study examined the effects of emotional approach coping, when considered alongside self-compassion, the ability to be kind and understanding of oneself.MethodNinety-two prostate cancer patients completed questionnaires measuring gender role conflict, emotional approach coping, self-compassion, and distress. A moderated mediation model was tested, where emotional approach coping mediated the path between gender role conflict and distress and self-compassion moderated paths between (1) gender role conflict and emotional approach coping, and (2) gender role conflict and distress.ResultsResults partially supported this model with all study variables predicting distress in the expected directions. Emotional approach coping did not mediate associations between gender role conflict and distress; however, self-compassion did moderate the pathway between these variables.ConclusionResults indicated that higher levels of self-compassion might protect men from distress related to emasculating aspects of the cancer experience. Further investigation is required to understand how self-compassion interacts with emotionality and subsequently influences distress in prostate cancer patients. To better understand the effectiveness of emotional approach coping in reducing distress in prostate cancer patients, it is recommended that future research accounts for the receptiveness of social environments to men's emotional displays.
