- Abstract:
- The purpose of this randomized, prospective study was to identify factors influencing the psychological distress of breast cancer patients and their husbands during remission. Background variables and distress levels of 172 couples in two locations (Graz, Austria, and Jerusalem, Israel) were assessed by using three standardized instruments in two interviews conducted 6-8 months apart. In both geographic-cultural groups, women whose partners refused to participate in the interview reported significantly less perceived family support. The global severity index (measuring total psychological distress) reflected minor changes in psychological distress of both patients and their husbands over time.
