This study sought to identify predictors of general health, mood, family, and life satisfaction for spousal caregivers of persons with multiple sclerosis. Cross-sectional data were obtained through structured interviews with 34 husbands and 27 wives of the disabled individuals. Results of the hierarchical regression analyses indicated that objective burden, subjective burden, and perceived uncertainty about the illness situation accounted for the largest proportion of variance in caregivers' general health, mood, family and life satisfaction. Perceived social support explained an additional small, but significant proportion in caregivers' general health, mood, and family satisfaction. Contrary to expectation, family coping did not significantly explain any variance in caregiver outcome measures.
本研究旨在确定多发性硬化症患者配偶照顾者的总体健康、情绪、家庭及生活满意度的预测因素。通过对34名残疾个体的丈夫和27名妻子进行结构化访谈获取横断面数据。分层回归分析结果表明，客观负担、主观负担以及对疾病状况的感知不确定性在照顾者的总体健康、情绪、家庭及生活满意度方面解释了最大比例的方差。感知到的社会支持在照顾者的总体健康、情绪及家庭满意度方面额外解释了一小部分但显著的方差比例。与预期相反，家庭应对在照顾者结果指标方面并未显著解释任何方差。
