Functional impairment, marital quality, and patient psychological distress as predictors of psychological distress among cancer patients’ spouses
Abstract
This study investigated contextual determinants of psychological distress among 197 spouses of cancer patients. It was hypothesized that higher levels of patient functional impairment would lead to greater patient distress. Patient distress, in turn, would lead to lower spouse marital satisfaction and ultimately to higher spouse distress. Spouses completed measures of distress and marital quality at three time points. Cancer patients rated their functional impairment and psychological distress at the same time points. Results indicated that at all time points, greater patient impairment was associated with higher levels of patient distress, which, in turn, was related to lower marital satisfaction. However, marital quality was related to spouse distress at only 1 time point, but spouse distress was directly associated with patient distress at each time point. Implications for cancer patients and spouses are discussed.

“Family caregivers of cancer patients exhibit high levels of stress and depression, lower subjective well-being, worse physical health, and higher mortality compared to non-caregivers [2–8, 19–25], yet few studies focus on improving outcomes for caregivers [26].”

In the citing paper
“Conversely, longer survival comes at a cost for caregivers: the negative effects of caregiving, including a higher mortality rate, are most pronounced in caregivers of patients with advanced cancer [2, 3, 20], particularly when patients have a protracted disease course [25] and are receiving palliative care [4, 21].”

“Distress in caregivers contributes to distress in patients [24], in addition to negatively impacting the health of caregivers themselves [2–4, 20, 21, 25], and likely other family members (e.g. many of our participants had young children).”

“Yet we found comparable distress levels in patients and caregivers, and emotional distress in particular may be even higher in caregivers, corroborating previous findings [2–6].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
