This study sought to examine the effects of an expressive talking intervention for 58 caregiving partners of hematopoietic stem cell transplant survivors, persons known to experience distress. Caregivers were randomly assigned to a three-session emotional expression (EE) or control condition. Subjective, objective, and physiologic indicators of emotion were assessed. Relative to controls, EE participants experienced more negative emotion, uttered more negative emotion words, and perceived the exercises as more helpful and meaningful. The trajectory of skin conductance and the use of cognitive mechanism words increased across EE sessions, suggesting sustained emotional engagement. Future research is warranted to determine the optimal dose and timing of EE for this population.
本研究旨在探讨对 58 名造血干细胞移植幸存者照顾者进行表达性谈话干预的效果，这些照顾者已知会经历痛苦。照顾者被随机分配到三个会话的情绪表达（EE）或对照组中。评估了情绪的主观、客观和生理指标。与对照组相比，EE 参与者体验到更多的负面情绪，说出更多的负面情绪词汇，并且认为练习更有帮助和更有意义。皮肤电传导的轨迹和认知机制词汇的使用在 EE 会议中增加，表明持续的情感参与。未来的研究需要确定这种人群的最佳 EE 剂量和时间。
