The purpose of this case study was to explore 2, early-relationship, same-sex couples on the strategies used to support their partner's engagement in health promoting behaviors. A semistructured interview protocol was used to conduct 120-minute interviews with each couple and analyzed using grounded theory methods. Five organizing categories emerged during the analysis, resulting in a conceptual process model of health-related support in same-sex relationships. These categories, provided a snapshot of how processes interact with each other; they were context, relationship dynamics, health support processes, couple adaptation, and balancing physical/relational health. Couples described the balancing of relational and physical health as an ongoing, important theme in the success of health support. Implications for both health prevention and intervention are discussed.
本案例研究的目的是探讨两对处于恋爱初期的同性伴侣在支持其伴侣参与健康促进行为时所采用的策略。采用半结构化访谈方案对每对伴侣进行了120分钟的访谈，并运用扎根理论方法进行分析。分析过程中出现了五个组织类别，从而形成了一个同性关系中与健康相关支持的概念性过程模型。这些类别呈现了各过程之间的相互作用；它们分别是背景、关系动态、健康支持过程、伴侣适应以及平衡身体/关系健康。伴侣们将关系健康和身体健康的平衡描述为健康支持成功的一个持续且重要的主题。文中还讨论了对健康预防和干预的启示。
