RESUMO
Objective:To explore the relationship among supportive dyadic coping,negative emotions and ma-rital quality in middle-aged and young patients with lymphoma and their spouses.Methods:A total of 243 middle-aged and young patients with lymphoma and their spouses were selected.The Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form(FoP-Q-SF)and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS)anxiety subscale were used to assess the negative emotions of patients and spouses,and the Dyadic Coping Inventory(DCI)and Short Marital Adjust-ment and Prediction Test(MAT)were used to evaluate supportive dyadic coping(SDC)and marital quality.Actor-partner interdependence mediation model was used to analyze the relationship among dyadic coping,negative emo-tions and marital quality.Results:The APIMeM model showed that both the FoP-Q-SF scores in patients and the anxiety scores in spouses had significant actor effects on their own supportive dyadic coping(β=-0.17,-0.29).The anxiety scores in spouses had a significant partner effect on SDC scoresin patients(β=-0.18).Both the SDC scores in patients and spouses had significant actor and partner effects on their own and their partner's MAT scores(β=1.71,1.18,1.17,1.92).The SDC scores in patients and spouses significantly mediated the relationship be-tween FoP-Q-SF scores and MAT scores in patients,with effect sizes of 46％and 13％,respectively.The SDC-scores in patients and spouses also significantly mediated the relationship between anxiety scores and MAT scoresin spouses,with effect sizes of 34％and 27％,respectively.Furthermore,the SDC scores in patients and spouses sig-nificantly mediated the relationship between FoP-Q-SF scores in patients and MAT scores in spouses,with effect si-zes of 57％and 14％,respectively.Conclusion:It suggests that supportive dyadic copingbetween spouses plays a mediating role in the relationship between negative emotions and marital quality.
