Abstract

Although gambling disorder (GD) may affect romantic relationships, and these may influence its prevention and intervention, there is a gap about this issue in the literature. People with GD present greater emotional dysregulation, and lack of communication and couple satisfaction is observed in their romantic relationships. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were, first, to explore the differences between couple satisfaction, positive communication and emotional dysregulation in individuals with GD and their partners. Second, to analyse the relationships between the variables in GD patients, their partners, and betwen the couple members. Third, to study the predictive role of positive communication and emotional dysregulation in couple satisfaction. The sample comprised 30 people: 15 male individuals with gambling disorder and their respective female partners. Results showed that the partners scored lower in couple satisfaction. Likewise, positive correlations were found between communication and satisfaction, but only the partners' emotional dysregulation significantly correlated with the aforementioned variables. Finally, only positive communication predicted couple satisfaction. Consequently, it is argued that communication and emotion-regulation skills in romantic relationships could influence the development, maintenance, and rehabilitation of GD. Providing comprehensive care that enhances romantic relationships could be beneficial because both individuals can reciprocally influence each other's mental health.

赌博障碍与恋爱关系:积极沟通与情绪失调在夫妻满意度中的作用。
虽然赌博障碍(GD)可能会影响浪漫关系,而这些可能会影响其预防和干预,但在文献中对这一问题存在空白。GD患者表现出更大的情绪失调,在他们的恋爱关系中缺乏沟通和夫妻满意度。因此,本研究的目的是,首先,探讨焦虑个体及其伴侣在夫妻满意度、积极沟通和情绪失调方面的差异。其次,分析GD患者、伴侣和夫妻成员之间变量之间的关系。第三,研究积极沟通与情绪失调对夫妻满意度的预测作用。样本由30人组成:15名有赌博障碍的男性和他们各自的女性伴侣。结果显示,夫妻满意度得分较低。同样,沟通与满意度之间也存在正相关,但只有伴侣的情绪失调与上述变量显著相关。最后,只有积极的沟通才能预测夫妻满意度。因此,我们认为恋爱关系中的沟通和情绪调节技能可能影响焦虑的发展、维持和康复。提供全面的护理,加强浪漫的关系可能是有益的,因为双方都可以相互影响对方的心理健康。
