This study examined the relation between marital satisfaction, psychological distress, self-reported pain, disability, and clinical findings in 63 chronic low-back pain (CLBP) patients from primary health care centers. The relation between marital satisfaction and psychological distress in their spouses was also studied. Marital dissatisfaction in female CLBP patients was significantly associated with psychological distress, as well as with patient self-reported pain and disability. Marital dissatisfaction in their male spouses was also strongly related to psychological distress. In male CLBP patient couples, marital dissatisfaction and psychological distress were much less significantly related. This gender difference should be taken into account in the treatment of CLBP couples.
本研究调查了来自初级保健中心的63名慢性下腰痛（CLBP）患者的婚姻满意度、心理困扰、自我报告的疼痛、残疾状况与临床检查结果之间的关系。同时也研究了其配偶的婚姻满意度与心理困扰之间的关系。女性CLBP患者的婚姻不满意度与心理困扰显著相关，同时也与患者自我报告的疼痛和残疾状况相关。其男性配偶的婚姻不满意度也与心理困扰密切相关。在男性CLBP患者夫妇中，婚姻不满意度与心理困扰的相关性则弱得多。在治疗CLBP夫妇时应考虑到这种性别差异。
