Quality of Life in Patients and Their Spouses and Cohabitating Partners in the Year Following a Cancer Biopsy (the Couples Cope Study): Protocol for a Prospective Observational Study

A 1998 study by Northouse et al [27] recruited couples prior to a woman’s diagnostic breast biopsy and examined psychosocial adjustment to either a malignant or benign diagnosis at 60-day and 1-year follow-ups.

Sexual Health Outcomes of Adolescent and Young Adult Colorectal Cancer Survivors and Their Partners: Protocol of a Dyadic Mixed Methods Study

A subset of 20 couples (n=40) will complete an in-depth dyadic interview with 2 members of the research team to further explore couple-based strategies implemented to cope with cancer-related sexual dysfunction. Couples will be selected for the qualitative component of the study based on their score on the sexual distress measure (see Quantitative Web-Based Survey Study Component). Couples scoring in the highest and lowest 10th percentile will be invited to complete qualitative interviews.

Ecological Momentary Assessment of Bipolar Disorder Symptoms and Partner Affect: Longitudinal Pilot Study

Ecological Momentary Assessment of Bipolar Disorder Symptoms and Partner Affect: Longitudinal Pilot Study

What might be described as classic or quintessential mania symptoms (eg, euphoria and impulsivity) appear unrelated to partner mood when couples are together or apart. By contrast, affrontive symptoms of hypo/mania were significantly correlated with negative affect but only when couples were together (r=.41; P=.01), not when apart (r=.22; P=.12). This result supports the construct validity of this confrontation-related grouping of symptoms.
