Marriage can enhance health for individuals with a chronic disease, yet spouses may also undermine disease management. The current study investigated spousal undermining of dietary regimen in 129 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A total of 40 patients reported that their spouses tempted them with forbidden foods, and 15 reported that their spouses conveyed disregard for their diabetic diet. Spousal tempting was associated with worse dietary adherence, and spousal disregard with worse nondietary adherence. Spousal undermining is relatively rare but is associated with patients' disease management and warrants further investigation to better understand how spouses influence partners' day-to-day management of chronic diseases.
婚姻可以提高慢性病患者的健康水平,但配偶也可能会破坏疾病管理。本研究调查了 129 名 2 型糖尿病患者的配偶对饮食方案的破坏情况。共有 40 名患者报告说他们的配偶用禁吃的食物诱惑他们,15 名患者报告说他们的配偶对他们的糖尿病饮食不屑一顾。配偶的诱惑与较差的饮食依从性有关,而配偶的忽视与较差的非饮食依从性有关。配偶的破坏虽然相对较少见,但与患者的疾病管理有关,需要进一步研究,以更好地了解配偶如何影响伴侣对慢性疾病的日常管理。
