The present study draws attention to the significance of considering cancer-related communication on cancer-related distress through the vulnerability-stress-adaptation model among couples with cancer during the pandemic. This is a quantitative dyadic study with a sample of 80 couples ( = 160). Dyadic data were analyzed among couples with cancer to examine the within-person (actor effects) and between-partner (partner effects) associations among links between cancer-related communication and cancer-related distress through the use of actor-partner interdependence models. Significant actor and partner effects were found for cancer-related communication in partners facing cancer, a factor that predicted cancer-related distress. The findings underscore the need to adopt a systemic perspective that accounts for multiple, simultaneous adaptive processes including cancer-related communication as influences on cancer-related distress in the time of COVID-19.
本研究通过脆弱性-应激-适应模型，提请人们关注在大流行期间患癌夫妇中与癌症相关的沟通对癌症相关痛苦的重要性。这是一项定量二元研究，样本为80对夫妇（n = 160）。通过使用行为者-伙伴相互依赖模型，对患癌夫妇之间的二元数据进行分析，以检验癌症相关沟通与癌症相关痛苦之间的个体内（行为者效应）和伴侣间（伙伴效应）关联。在面临癌症的伴侣中，发现癌症相关沟通存在显著的行为者和伙伴效应，这一因素可预测癌症相关痛苦。研究结果强调，需要采取一种系统的视角，考虑包括癌症相关沟通在内的多个同时发生的适应过程，这些过程在新冠疫情期间对癌症相关痛苦产生影响。
