摘要
Previous research indicates that men are affected when their female partners have breast cancer. However, little is known about what predicts mens psychological well-being in this context. The current investigation involved couples in which the woman had early stage breast cancer and explored the degree to which mens positive and negative well-being was related to womens well-being, womens physical symptoms, relationship functioning, and relationship duration. The findings indicate that all of these factors play a role and interact in predicting mens well-being. In particular, when women have a high level of physical symptoms, the typical associations between mens well-being with womens well-being and relationship adjustment no longer persist. Implications for working with couples addressing health problems are provided.
