Social support, stress, health locus of control, active and avoidance coping, and depression were studied with 107 married couples in which one partner had a chronic obstructive airway disease (mean age = 62 years old). Differences between couples were evident when gender of the patient was assessed. Female patient couples that were older appeared more at risk than male patient couples for distress. In the analyses of spouse depression, gender moderated the relation of coping, social support, and health locus of control with depression. For patients, coping and social support were directly related to depression rather than moderated by gender. Implications for prevention and future research are discussed.
对107对已婚夫妇进行了研究，其中一方患有慢性阻塞性气道疾病（平均年龄 = 62岁），研究内容包括社会支持、压力、健康控制点、积极应对和回避应对以及抑郁情况。在评估患者性别时，夫妻之间的差异很明显。年龄较大的女性患者夫妻比男性患者夫妻似乎更易出现困扰。在对配偶抑郁的分析中，性别调节了应对、社会支持和健康控制点与抑郁之间的关系。对于患者而言，应对和社会支持与抑郁直接相关，而非受性别调节。文中讨论了预防措施及未来研究的意义。
