Although it is widely thought that the marital relationship plays a role in individuals' decisions to have colorectal cancer screening, few studies have evaluated partner influences.
We evaluated the role of marital relationship factors such as a relational perspective on the frequency of spouse discussions about screening and screening intentions. Individual-level factors were also evaluated.
One hundred sixty-eight couples with both members non-adherent with screening completed measures of perceived risk, screening benefits and barriers, marital quality, relational perspective, discussion frequency, and screening intentions.
Couples' attitudes about screening were interdependent and one partner's attitudes and behavior were associated with the other partner's intention. There was also evidence of joint effects in that intentions were associated with both one's partner's attitudes and one's own attitudes.
Colorectal screening intentions are associated with both partners' attitudes as well as whether or not couples have discussed screening with one another.
尽管人们普遍认为婚姻关系在个体进行结直肠癌筛查的决策中起着作用，但很少有研究评估伴侣的影响。
我们评估了婚姻关系因素（如对配偶讨论筛查频率的关系视角）在筛查频率和筛查意向中的作用。还评估了个体层面的因素。
168 对夫妇中，双方都不遵守筛查要求，完成了对感知风险、筛查益处和障碍、婚姻质量、关系视角、讨论频率和筛查意向的测量。
夫妇对筛查的态度是相互依存的，一方的态度和行为与另一方的意图相关。也有证据表明存在共同的影响，即一个人的伴侣的态度和自己的态度都与意图有关。
结直肠筛查的意向与双方的态度以及夫妇之间是否讨论过筛查有关。
