这项研究的重点是老年妇女骨关节炎的负面反应，以接受仪器支持（即，妇女的心理健康和自我照顾受到这种消极反应的影响。应用一个人-环境匹配模型，作者预测，女性对配偶支持的负面反应将取决于这种支持与功能独立的个人中心性（重要性）之间的匹配。与这一预测相一致的是，那些从丈夫那里得到高水平支持的妇女，以及那些在功能上独立的妇女，对这种支持的反应不那么消极。对配偶支持的更多负面反应与更大的并发抑郁症和更少的自我照顾行为有关。此外，阴性反应预示着女性抑郁症的增加和生活满意度的下降。研究结果说明了一个有用的理论方法来检查家庭照顾者的支持。
This study focused on the negative reactions of older women with osteoarthritis to the receipt of instrumental support (i.e., physical assistance) from their husbands and the effects of such negative reactions on the women's psychological well-being and self-care. Applying a person-environment fit model, the authors predicted that women's negative reactions to spousal support would be determined by the fit between this support and the personal centrality (importance) of being functionally independent. Consistent with this prediction, women who received high levels of support from the husband and for whom being functionally independent was not highly central reacted less negatively to this support. More negative reactions to spousal support were related to greater concurrent depressive symptomatology and fewer self-care behaviors. In addition, negative reactions were predictive of the women's increased depressive symptomatology and decreased life satisfaction. Findings illustrate a useful theoretical approach to the examination of support from family caregivers.
