The current study tested the hypotheses that knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients and spouses who report more spousal understanding of patient's pain would report greater marital satisfaction. A total of 124 couples completed interviews at three time points across 18 months. Results from dyadic analyses showed that patients who felt more understood by their spouse report, and have spouses who report, higher marital satisfaction concurrently. In addition, patients who felt more understood by their spouse reported higher marital satisfaction over time. Spouses' reports of understanding also had a significant influence on the patients' and their own marital satisfaction concurrently. Results highlight the importance of spouses understanding knee OA patients' pain for both dyad members' marital satisfaction.
报告配偶对患者疼痛理解更多的膝骨关节炎（OA）患者及其配偶，其婚姻满意度会更高。共有124对夫妻在18个月内的三个时间点完成了访谈。二元分析结果显示，感觉配偶更理解自己的患者及其配偶同时报告了更高的婚姻满意度。此外，感觉配偶更理解自己的患者随着时间推移报告了更高的婚姻满意度。配偶对理解的报告同时也对患者及其自身的婚姻满意度产生了显著影响。结果凸显了配偶理解膝OA患者疼痛对双方婚姻满意度的重要性。
