癌症及其治疗带来的挑战不仅影响患者，还影响他们的重要他人，包括亲密伴侣。越来越多的证据表明，夫妻有效沟通的能力对双方的心理调整和关系质量起着重要作用。人们提出了两个关键的概念模型来解释夫妻沟通如何影响心理和关系调整：社会认知处理（SCP）模型和关系亲密（RI）模型。这些模型假设了不同的机制和结果，因此对干预有不同的影响。该项目的目的是使用全面且方法论严格的方法来测试和比较这些模型的实用性。目的是：（1）检查 SCP 和 RI 模型在解释患者和伴侣的心理和关系调整方面的整体拟合度，因为它们在日常和一年的过程中发生； (2) 检查模型对不同亚组（男性与女性、患者与伴侣）的拟合度； (3) 通过检查不同测量策略的基线指数预测一年随访时自我报告调整的程度，来检查各种评估沟通的方法的效用。该研究采用纵向、多方法的方法来检查沟通过程，包括： 标准自我报告问卷，评估一年内每季度收集的过程和结果变量；基于智能手机的生态瞬时评估，实时采样参与者报告；以及基于实验室的夫妻对话，从中我们得出交流行为和情感表达的观察测量，以及情绪唤醒的声音指数。参与者是从两个 NCI 指定的综合癌症中心招募的 II-IV 期乳腺癌、结肠癌、直肠癌或肺癌患者及其配偶/伴侣。结果将发表在科学期刊上，在科学会议上展示，并通过信息图表和社交媒体渠道传达给更多受众。研究结果将为理论、测量以及旨在优化患者和伴侣福祉的有效干预措施的设计和实施提供信息。
Cancer and its treatment pose challenges that affect not only patients but also their significant others, including intimate partners. Accumulating evidence suggests that couples’ ability to communicate effectively plays a major role in the psychological adjustment of both individuals and the quality of their relationship. Two key conceptual models have been proposed to account for how couple communication impacts psychological and relationship adjustment: the social-cognitive processing (SCP) model and the relationship intimacy (RI) model. These models posit different mechanisms and outcomes, and thus have different implications for intervention. The purpose of this project is to test and compare the utility of these models using comprehensive and methodologically rigorous methods. Aims are: (1) to examine the overall fit of the SCP and RI models in explaining patient and partner psychological and relationship adjustment as they occur on a day-to-day basis and over the course of 1 year; (2) to examine the fit of the models for different subgroups (males vs. females, and patients vs. partners); and (3) to examine the utility of various methods of assessing communication by examining the degree to which baseline indices from different measurement strategies predict self-reported adjustment at 1-year follow up. The study employs a longitudinal, multi-method approach to examining communication processes including: standard self-report questionnaires assessing process and outcome variables collected quarterly over the course of 1 year; smartphone-based ecological momentary assessments to sample participant reports in real time; and laboratory-based couple conversations from which we derive observational measures of communicative behavior and affective expression, as well as vocal indices of emotional arousal. Participants are patients with stage II-IV breast, colon, rectal, or lung cancer and their spouses/partners, recruited from two NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers. Results will be published in scientific journals, presented at scientific conferences, and conveyed to a larger audience through infographics and social media outlets. Findings will inform theory, measurement, and the design and implementation of efficacious interventions aimed at optimizing both patient and partner well-being.
