这项研究的目的是确定一个人正在接受乳腺癌治疗的二人组中对焦虑的依赖程度。对关系质量的感知有望减轻这对夫妻双方所经历的焦虑。96对夫妇参加了为期10周的三波纵向研究。二人组由一名目前正在接受治疗的I-III期乳腺癌妇女和一名她提名与她一起参加研究的伴侣组成。研究结果表明，女性乳腺癌患者的焦虑感与其伴侣的焦虑感一致。结构方程分析表明，双内影响主要从伴侣的焦虑到乳腺癌女性的焦虑。伴侣的焦虑也与女性健康的其他指标有关，包括抑郁、疲劳和症状管理。患有乳腺癌的女性及其伴侣对关系质量的感知与伴侣的焦虑呈负相关。然而，女性的焦虑只与她们的伴侣有关，而与她们自己对关系质量的看法无关。这些发现强调，当女性应对乳腺癌及其治疗带来的压力时，拥有能够应对或获得个人痛苦帮助的伴侣是有益的。版权所有©2006约翰威利父子有限公司
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of interdependence on anxiety within dyads where one person was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Perceptions of relationship quality were expected to mitigate the anxiety experienced by both members of the dyad. 96 dyads participated in a 3‐wave longitudinal study that took place over 10 weeks. Dyads were composed of a woman with stage I–III breast cancer who was currently undergoing treatment, and a partner who she nominated to participate in the study along with her. Results indicated that anxiety felt by women with breast cancer was consistently associated with that of her partner. Structural equation analyses suggest that the within‐dyad influence runs mostly from partners' anxiety to the anxiety of women with breast cancer. Partners' anxiety was also associated with other indicators of the women's well being including depression, fatigue, and symptom management. Perceptions of relationship quality from women with breast cancer and their partners were negatively associated with partners' anxiety. However, women's anxiety was only correlated with their partners', but not their own, perceptions of relationship quality. These findings underscore the benefit of having partners who are able to cope with or get help for their own personal distress as women cope with the stress of breast cancer and its treatment.
