Depression is a pervasive mental health concern; thus, it is important to identify modifiable factors associated with reducing depressive symptoms across time. Using 1,876 heterosexual couples assessed annually across 4 years from the Panel Analysis of Intimate Relationships and Family Dynamics (Pairfam) study, time-varying covariate growth models tested if sexual and relationship satisfaction were linked with shifts in trajectories of depressive symptoms across time. For both men and women, higher sexual and relationship satisfaction scores were significantly associated with decreasing their own depressive symptom trajectories, but only relationship satisfaction was linked with their partners' depressive symptom trajectories. Potential clinical implications include the treatment of depressive symptoms by making changes across time in their own relationship satisfaction and sexual satisfaction.
抑郁症是一个普遍存在的心理健康问题；因此，识别与随时间减轻抑郁症状相关的可改变因素很重要。利用亲密关系和家庭动态小组分析（Pairfam）研究中4年里每年评估的1876对异性恋伴侣，时变协变量增长模型检验了性满意度和关系满意度是否与抑郁症状轨迹随时间的变化相关。对于男性和女性而言，较高的性满意度和关系满意度得分均与自身抑郁症状轨迹的下降显著相关，但只有关系满意度与伴侣的抑郁症状轨迹相关。潜在的临床意义包括通过随时间改变自身的关系满意度和性满意度来治疗抑郁症状。
