: This study aimed to examine the impact of dyadic coping on the quality of life of couples during pregnancy and to explore the potential mediating role of marital adjustment on this association.: According to the systemic transactional model, pregnancy can be characterised as a situation of dyadic stress because it affects both members of the couple. However, the impact of dyadic coping on couples' quality of life during pregnancy is unexplored. Also, the potential mediating role of marital adjustment on this association remains understudied.: Participants were 320 pregnant women and their partners ( = 640) who completed the Dyadic Coping Inventory, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and the World Health Organisation Quality of Life instrument. Data were analysed using the actor-partner interdependence mediation model.: Results showed that there was an intrapersonal indirect effect of dyadic coping on quality of life through marital adjustment. Moreover, an interpersonal indirect effect was found with fathers' dyadic coping being associated with mothers' quality of life through mothers' marital adjustment.: These findings highlight the importance of assessing dyadic coping strategies of couples during pregnancy and targeting them in the psychological support offered to couples as a way of improving their marital adjustment, and consequently, their quality of life.
本研究旨在探讨夫妻应对策略对妊娠期间夫妇生活质量的影响，并探讨婚姻调整在这种关联中的潜在中介作用。
根据系统交易模型，妊娠可以被描述为一种对偶应激的情况，因为它会影响夫妻双方。然而，夫妻应对策略对妊娠期间夫妇生活质量的影响尚不清楚。此外，婚姻调整在这种关联中的潜在中介作用仍研究不足。
参与者为 320 名孕妇及其伴侣（n=640），他们完成了对偶应对量表、对偶调整量表和世界卫生组织生活质量量表。使用演员-伙伴相互依存中介模型分析数据。
结果表明，通过婚姻调整，夫妻应对策略对生活质量存在个体内间接影响。此外，还发现了一种人际间接影响，即父亲的对偶应对策略通过母亲的婚姻调整与母亲的生活质量相关。
这些发现强调了在妊娠期间评估夫妻对偶应对策略的重要性，并将其作为改善夫妻婚姻调整、进而提高生活质量的一种方式，为夫妻提供心理支持。
