DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research on chronic pain patients' perceived spousal responses suggests that these responses can be categorized into three groups: solicitous responses, punishing responses, and distracting responses. Combinations of these responses have been found to interact with marital satisfaction to affect pain severity and depressive symptomatology. Researchers have increasingly started conducting cross-cultural research examining management of chronic diseases, highlighting the fact that culture defines how individuals respond to chronic diseases. However, these findings have yet to be incorporated into the mainstream chronic pain literature. The proposed study seeks to integrate the literature on spousal response to chronic pain with cultural-based findings on disease management into an examination of the role of culture/ethnicity in mediating the influence of perceived spousal responses on pain severity and depressive symptomatology. Hispanics males who are married will be the primary focus of this study.

描述（由申请人提供）：对慢性疼痛患者感知配偶反应的研究表明，这些反应可分为三组：关心反应、惩罚反应和分散反应。这些反应的组合已被发现与婚姻满意度相互作用，影响疼痛严重程度和抑郁症状。研究人员越来越多地开始进行跨文化研究，检查慢性病的管理，强调文化决定了个人如何应对慢性病的事实。然而，这些发现尚未被纳入主流慢性疼痛文献。本研究旨在整合关于配偶对慢性疼痛反应的文献以及基于文化的疾病管理发现，以检验文化/种族在感知配偶反应对疼痛严重程度和抑郁症状的影响中的中介作用。西班牙裔已婚男性将是这项研究的主要焦点。
