“…This may be related to sufficient support from spouse's verbal, actions and information perceived by patients, helping patients to establish a positive belief in conquering disease and then promoting positive mental changes (Barani et al, 2019). However, the results of study showed that excessive intimacy of couples adversely affected the improvement of PTG, thus disproving hypothesis 4 (the intimate relationship affects PTG directly and positively).…”

Aim To investigate the relationships and pathways between dyadic coping, intimate relationship and post‐traumatic growth (PTG) in Chinese patients with breast cancer. Design A cross‐sectional study. Methods Between November 2019 and November 2020, 133 patients with breast cancer who received therapy in tertiary grade‐A hospitals at Dalian, China completed questionnaires including demographic and clinical questionnaires, Locke–Wallace Marriage Adjustment Test, Chinese version of the Dyadic Coping Inventory and Chinese version of the Post‐traumatic Growth Inventory. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the pathways. Results Dyadic coping was positively interrelated with PTG and intimate relationship (r = .355, p < .01; r = .213, p < .05); intimate relationship was negatively interrelated with PTG (r = −.207, p < .05). The structural equation model demonstrated adequate fit. Dyadic coping and intimate relationship directly affected PTG (β = .469, p < .05; β = −.309, p < .05). Dyadic coping indirectly affected PTG through intimate relationship (β = −.066, p < .05). Conclusions Dyadic coping was a stimulus factor, but intimate relationship was an obstructive factor in enhancing PTG for the Chinese patients with breast cancer. Furthermore, intimate relationship may have significant mediating effects in the link between dyadic coping and PTG. Strategies that improve dyadic coping level and avoid excessive intimacy relationships between couples contribute to the development of PTG among patients with breast cancer. Impact The research provides new ideas and intervention entry points for global nurses and psychotherapists so that they can enact and implement targeted PTG intervention plans for patients with breast cancer worldwide.

“…Accordingly, the husbands tried their best to perform their roles as a husband, father, and worker, so as to manage their wives' disease. In other words, they did their best and tolerated all challenges, pains, and sufferings ( 16 ). In contrast, some of the husbands acted passively and considered patient care as being imprisoned in the house, which prevented them from fulfilling their occupational responsibilities ( 17 ).…”

“…Thus, investigation of adaptation and its dimensions can play a critical role in improving the disease process. In consultation sessions also, adaptation and its dimensions can be taught to patients in order to facilitate their acceptance of the disease, adoption of positive adaptation strategies, and return to normal life ( 16 ). In this way, steps can be taken toward the timely diagnosis of mental status among husbands ( 17 ).…”

BackgroundBreast cancer is the most common cancer among women and is the second leading cause of cancer death. This disease affects all aspects of the patient's life and family, especially the patient's spouse, which confirms the need to adapt to these changes. The common instruments used for the investigation of adaptation among husbands of women with breast cancer are mainly outdated, one-dimensional, or non-concordant with the Iranian culture. Therefore, the present study aimed to design and validate an adaptation scale among the husbands of Iranian Muslim women suffering from breast cancer.MethodsThis exploratory sequential mixed study was conducted in two qualitative and quantitative stages. In the qualitative stage, semi-structured interviews were performed with 21 participants. Then, items were developed through content analysis using the approach proposed by Elo and Kyngas on the basis of Roy's adaptation model. In the quantitative stage, the extracted items were reduced and psychometric properties such as face, content, and construct validity as well as reliability were explored. To investigate the construct validity, a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 300 husbands of women with breast cancer selected via cluster sampling.ResultsThe initial questionnaire contained 79 items. After the assessment of face and content validity, 59 items were evaluated regarding construct validity using exploratory factor analysis. At this stage, six adaptation dimensions were observed among the women's husbands, with the variance of 51.71. The Cronbach's alpha and correlation coefficient of the questionnaire were 0.912 and 0.701, respectively.ConclusionThe developed 51-item adaptation scale had an appropriate validity and reliability and could be used for the assessment of adaptation in the target group.

“…une personne qui a traversé une maladie semblable et peut transmettre des renseignements et des connaissances de première main, voire de l'espoir) (Snyder et Pearse, 2010). Le soutien social peut être sollicité de manière informelle auprès de membres de la famille, d'amis, de collègues, de voisins, d'autres patients, sur Internet ou les réseaux sociaux (Gao et al, 2019;Mensah et al, 2021;Young et Snowden, 2017), et également auprès de groupes confessionnels et religieux (Gürsoy, Koçan et Aktug, 2017;Younes Barain, Rahnama, Naderifar, Badakhsh et Noorisanchooli, 2018) et même d'animaux domestiques (Balfe, Keohane, O'Brien et Sharp, 2017); il est aussi possible d'obtenir des services psychosociaux professionnels (Gao et al, 2019;Young et Snowden, 2017). Le soutien informel, surtout, est associé à une adaptation positive (Pitceathly et Maguire, 2003).…”

Le présent article porte sur l’une des composantes d’une étude qualitative exploratoire : l’autosuffisance comme stratégie d’adaptation chez les partenaires masculins de femmes atteintes du cancer du sein et du soutien social perçu pour faire face à la maladie. Les données proviennent d’une étude plus vaste conçue pour étudier les besoins perçus des partenaires masculins et les services qu’ils privilégiaient pour répondre à ces besoins après l’annonce du diagnostic de cancer du sein de leur conjointe. Les 27 hommes participants à l’étude étaient considérablement affectés par le cancer du sein de leur épouse. Pour affronter la situation, ils ont utilisé l’autosuffisance comme stratégie d’adaptation; ils ont fait appel à leurs propres ressources (autosuffisance) tout en s’appuyant sur le soutien social informel existant afin de recevoir de l’aide pour eux-mêmes, leur épouse et leur famille, et de gérer les facteurs de stress de la vie quotidienne liés à la maladie, aux personnes elles-mêmes, au couple et à la famille. Il faut se pencher sur les besoins en matière d’auto-assistance et de soutien social des conjoints afin de mieux y répondre et d’ainsi faciliter l’adaptation à la situation. À titre de soutien principal, les partenaires se trouvent dans la position singulière de devoir apporter du soutien alors qu’ils en ont eux-mêmes besoin.
