摘要

Relatives of cancer patients often experience a similar level of distress to the patients themselves; they too are confronted by the challenges of cancer and its treatment. Partnerships in particular can be affected by cancer. Couples can experience both positive (e.g., greater cohesion and strength) and negative challenges (especially in communicating about stressful topics such as fear, death, and dying). Strengthening couples to cope with the illness together increases the sense of togetherness and satisfaction with the partnership. Dyadic coping is particularly important here. The Dyadic Coping Inventory can help to record the processing of illness in couple relationships both at the behavioral level (what the partners do) and at the cognitive level (what the partners perceive in each case). A distinction can be made between positive and negative sub-forms and three discrepancy measures. The influence of coping on various outcomes, including illness-related outcomes, has been proven. Consideration of the psychosocial stress of relatives and the inclusion of relatives in care is therefore of great importance.
