International literature regarding the situation of partners of cancer patients and the results of empirical studies are critically reviewed. The front of this background is the retrospective study, and the results, of interviews with 30 partners of long-term surviving cancer patients. Qualified by half-structured interview and various questionnaires regarding the situation during and after the illness. This substudy is part of an overall study of the posttraumatic syndrome of long-term surviving cancer patients and their next of kin. To evaluate the hypotheses two groups were created, good and bad copers. On the basis of interviewer rating good and bad coping was operationalized. Results showed significant better coping skills in partners with sufficient social support, with no illness of their own and with more flexible defense mechanisms. The majority of the partners preferred to be better informed and more involved by the physician.
对有关癌症患者伴侣状况的国际文献及实证研究结果进行了批判性综述。此背景研究的前沿是一项对30名长期存活癌症患者伴侣的回顾性研究及访谈结果。通过半结构化访谈和关于患病期间及之后状况的各种问卷进行评估。该子研究是对长期存活癌症患者及其近亲创伤后综合征的整体研究的一部分。为评估假设，创建了两组，即应对良好组和应对不良组。根据访谈者的评级，对良好和不良应对进行了操作化定义。结果显示，在有足够社会支持、自身无疾病且防御机制更灵活的伴侣中，应对技能明显更好。大多数伴侣希望医生能提供更多信息并让他们更多地参与其中。
