作者调查了70名男性和女性（平均年龄= 70岁）接受越来越常见的膝关节骨关节炎（OA）手术治疗后，配偶控制（影响）和支持对恢复结果的相关性。配偶的积极（激励）和消极（施压）的控制和配偶的情绪（理解）和有问题的（解雇）的支持作为患者的依从性和改善幸福的预测因素进行了检查。阳性对照与更好的依从性相关，但仅限于配偶提供很少问题支持的患者。相反，消极控制策略倾向于引起负面影响的增加。总的来说，我们的研究结果表明，配偶控制的有效性在很大程度上取决于配偶提供的支持的质量。
The authors investigated associations between spousal control (influence) and support on the recovery outcomes for 70 men and women (mean age = 70) undergoing an increasingly common surgical treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Spouses' positive (motivating) and negative (pressuring) control and spouses' emotional (understanding) and problematic (dismissing) support were examined as predictors of patients' adherence and improvement in well-being. Positive control was associated with better adherence, but only among patients whose spouses provided little problematic support. In contrast, negative control strategies tended to elicit increases in negative affect. Overall, our findings revealed that the effectiveness of spousal control depended largely on the quality of support provided by the spouse.
