Theories of dyadic coping and empirical literature have intermittently and inconsistently highlighted antecedents and outcomes of dyadic coping. The purpose of this review was to systematically identify the antecedents and outcomes of dyadic coping in close personal relationships.
A PRISMA-guided systematic review and narrative synthesis.
Literature searches were conducted using CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, and citation pearl growing to identify studies that were relevant to the aim of the review. The search strategy and exclusion criteria led to a final sample of 46 studies that each highlighted antecedents and outcomes of dyadic coping among married couples. Each study was critically appraised and analyzed using narrative synthesis.
The narrative synthesis highlighted five antecedents (learning, gender, relationship characteristics, relationship role, and cultural influences) and two outcomes (relationship functioning and personal health) of dyadic coping.
The review exposes inconsistencies in the conceptualization of dyadic coping, highlights a range of antecedents that influence dyadic coping, and suggests that dyadic coping can have positive benefits for relationship functioning and personal health. The findings have implications for future research and practice (e.g. when working with couples to improve relationship functioning).
二元应对理论及实证文献对二元应对的前因和结果的强调断断续续且不一致。本综述的目的是系统地确定亲密人际关系中二元应对的前因和结果。
一项遵循PRISMA指南的系统综述和叙述性综合分析。
使用CINAHL、PubMed、PsycINFO以及引文追溯法进行文献检索，以确定与综述目的相关的研究。检索策略和排除标准最终得到46项研究的样本，每项研究都突出了已婚夫妇二元应对的前因和结果。每项研究都采用叙述性综合分析进行严格评估和分析。
叙述性综合分析突出了二元应对的五个前因（学习、性别、关系特征、关系角色和文化影响）和两个结果（关系功能和个人健康）。
该综述揭示了二元应对概念化方面的不一致，突出了一系列影响二元应对的前因，并表明二元应对对关系功能和个人健康可能有积极益处。这些发现对未来的研究和实践具有启示意义（例如在与夫妻合作改善关系功能时）。
