Alpha‐1 Couples: Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Predictors of Spousal Communication and Stress

Abstract: Couples often discuss genetic test results, and then manage their implications together. This interdependence can lead to common, shared experiences, similar intrapersonal processes to manage shared stressors, or interpersonal influences between spouses, leading to different outcomes. This study sought to reveal the intracouple, intrapersonal, and interpersonal influences of genetic stigma and negative feelings on spousal communication and perceived stress with 50 couples in which one spouse is a member of a g… Show more

“…The data were drawn from a larger study; data on a larger set of registered members of the Alpha-1 Research Registry (ARR) located at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) (Smith, Wienke, & Baker, 2014a) and different variables on a smaller set of the spousal pairs (Smith, Wienke, & Coffman, 2014b) have been presented. The procedures are described in detail in those studies, and are briefly described here.…”

“…Six items (Smith, Wienke, & Coffman, 2013) were used to measure the frequency of conversations spouses currently have regarding AATD-related information (e.g., I have talked with my spouse about how the AATD results make me feel ). The response options were strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree and strongly agree, which were later coded for analysis (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree ).…”

“…As seen in Smith et al, 2013, eight items based on Link and colleagues (1989) were used to measure genetic stigma beliefs (e.g., Most people would feel that being diagnosed with a genetic mutation is a sign of personal failure ). The response options were strongly disagree , disagree , neutral , agree and strongly agree , which were later coded for analysis (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree ), with higher scores indicating stronger beliefs that AATD is a stigmatized condition.…”
