人们日益认识到性别在理解保健做法和疾病经历方面的重要性，这项工作的关键是更好地理解性别关系的应用。男性特征和女性特征的影响以及它们内部和之间的相互作用体现在夫妻、家庭成员和同龄人之间的关系和互动中，从而影响健康行为和结果。为了探讨如何将性别关系的概念化纳入卫生研究，对现有文献进行了范围审查。关键词性别关系，性别互动，关系性别，合作伙伴的沟通，女性和男性被用来搜索在线数据库。通过对这些文献的分析，我们确定了两种主要的方式将性别关系纳入健康研究：a）作为紧急发现;和B）作为研究设计的基础。在后者中，性别关系被纳入概念框架，指导数据收集，并用于指导数据分析。目前使用的性别关系通常定位在亲密的异性恋夫妇，其中单一的叙述（即，无论是男性还是女性），用来探讨亲密伴侣的性别关系对健康和疾病问题的影响和/或作用。对促进两性关系和健康研究的建议进行了讨论。这项研究有可能减少保健方面的性别不平等。
The importance of gender in understanding health practices and illness experiences is increasingly recognized, and key to this work is a better understanding of the application of gender relations. The influence of masculinities and femininities, and the interplay within and between them manifests within relations and interactions among couples, family members and peers to influence health behaviours and outcomes. To explore how conceptualizations of gender relations have been integrated in health research a scoping review of the existing literature was conducted. The key terms gender relations, gender interactions, relations gender, partner communication, femininities and masculinities were used to search online databases. Through analysis of this literature we identified two main ways gender relations were integrated in health research: a) as emergent findings; and b) as a basis for research design. In the latter, gender relations are included in conceptual frameworks, guide data collection and are used to direct data analysis. Current uses of gender relations are typically positioned within intimate heterosexual couples whereby single narratives (i.e., either men or women) are used to explore the influence and/or impact of intimate partner gender relations on health and illness issues. Recommendations for advancing gender relations and health research are discussed. This research has the potential to reduce gender inequities in health.
