A cancer disease in the family is an emotional crisis with psychological distress for the partner. The study observed the psychological distress of female partners of cancer patients with underage children (HADS-D). The results were compared with the psychological distress of the cancer patient as well as a representative comparison group of women from the general population. Every second female partner showed clinically anxiety scores. On average, the female partners were significantly more anxious than male cancer patients and even more afraid than women from the general population. Regarding the degree of depression, between the partners there were no differences. With regard to mental distress, a medium correlation was found on the pair level. Based on the use of psycho-oncological support the high emotional distress on the female partners is discussed.
家族中有癌症患者对伴侣来说是一场伴有心理困扰的情感危机。该研究观察了有未成年子女的癌症患者的女性伴侣的心理困扰（医院焦虑抑郁量表-抑郁分量表）。研究结果与癌症患者以及来自普通人群的具有代表性的女性对照组的心理困扰情况进行了比较。每两名女性伴侣中就有一人表现出临床焦虑评分。平均而言，女性伴侣比男性癌症患者明显更焦虑，甚至比普通人群中的女性更恐惧。在抑郁程度方面，伴侣之间没有差异。在心理困扰方面，在伴侣双方层面发现了中等程度的相关性。基于心理肿瘤学支持的使用情况，讨论了女性伴侣的高度情绪困扰问题。
