To describe and explore how partners rate their intimate relationship before and after the patients' first myocardial infarction. A further aim was to investigate the association between partners' rating of their intimate relationship and self-rated health.
To date, information on how partners experience the intimate relationship before and after a patient's myocardial infarction is sparse.
A descriptive and exploratory design with longitudinal data collection.
The study comprised 127 partners, aged 34-87 years. Data collection included self-reported information on socio-demographic data, intimate relationship and self-rated health one year before and one year after patients' first myocardial infarction. Intimate relationship was assessed by the Swedish version of the Relationship Assessment Scale. Self-rated health was evaluated by the EuroQoL visual analogue scale.
In general, partners reported high satisfaction with their intimate relationship both before and after the patients' myocardial infarction. Women reported somewhat lower ratings in their intimate relationship than men before the myocardial infarction. Women increased their ratings after one year, while men on average decreased their ratings. Partners with higher education reported lower ratings for intimate relationship after one year. Those with children living at home rated intimate relationship lower than those without children living at home after one year. Partners' self-rated health status was stable over time. No significant association between intimate relationship and self-rated health was found.
This study provides important insights regarding couples' relationships from the perspective of the partner. Socio-demographic factors such as sex, educational level, having children living at home and employment status may influence how the relationship, from the partners' perspective, is affected by a myocardial infarction event.
This study provides insight into how partners rate their intimate relationship and self-rated health over time before and after patients' myocardial infarction.
描述并探究伴侣在患者首次心肌梗死前后如何评价他们的亲密关系。另一个目的是调查伴侣对亲密关系的评价与自评健康之间的关联。
迄今为止，关于伴侣在患者心肌梗死前后如何体验亲密关系的信息很少。
采用纵向数据收集的描述性和探索性设计。
该研究包括127名年龄在34至87岁之间的伴侣。数据收集包括患者首次心肌梗死前一年和后一年的社会人口统计学数据、亲密关系和自评健康的自我报告信息。亲密关系通过瑞典版的关系评估量表进行评估。自评健康通过欧洲生活质量视觉模拟量表进行评估。
总体而言，伴侣在患者心肌梗死前后都对他们的亲密关系表示高度满意。在心肌梗死前，女性对亲密关系的评价略低于男性。一年后，女性提高了她们的评价，而男性平均降低了他们的评价。受过高等教育的伴侣在一年后对亲密关系的评价较低。有孩子在家居住的伴侣在一年后对亲密关系的评价低于没有孩子在家居住的伴侣。伴侣的自评健康状况随时间保持稳定。未发现亲密关系与自评健康之间存在显著关联。
本研究从伴侣的角度提供了关于夫妻关系的重要见解。社会人口统计学因素，如性别、教育水平、有孩子在家居住和就业状况，可能会影响从伴侣角度看关系如何受到心肌梗死事件的影响。
本研究深入了解了伴侣在患者心肌梗死前后如何随时间评价他们的亲密关系和自评健康。
