Three hundred cancer patients and romantic partners of cancer patients were surveyed regarding their psychological distress, quality of life, and gender-role identity. Specifically, we considered whether cancer patients and partners differed in psychological distress, and quality of life as a function of their gender-role identities. Results indicated that individuals who ascribed to either a masculine or an undifferentiated gender-role identity, regardless of whether they were a patient or a partner, were more at risk for developing depressive symptoms as compared to those who ascribed to a feminine or androgynous gender-role identity. Also, partners of cancer patients were more at risk for developing anxiety symptoms as compared to cancer patients, regardless of gender-role identity. There were no significant differences among gender-role identities or role status in regard to quality of life.
三百名癌症患者及其癌症患者的浪漫伴侣接受了关于他们的心理困扰、生活质量和性别角色认同的调查。具体来说，我们考虑了癌症患者和伴侣的心理困扰以及生活质量是否因他们的性别角色认同而有所不同。结果表明，无论他们是患者还是伴侣，具有男性或未分化性别角色认同的个体比具有女性或双性性别角色认同的个体更容易出现抑郁症状。此外，无论性别角色认同如何，癌症患者的伴侣比癌症患者更容易出现焦虑症状。在生活质量方面，性别角色认同或角色地位之间没有显著差异。
