Abstract

Remarried couples who experience infertility face unique stressors requiring effective dyadic coping. Research rarely examines how family functioning and posttraumatic growth jointly influence dyadic coping through an indirect pathway involving marital quality. This cross-sectional study of 318 couples, utilizing the actor–partner interdependence mediation model, examined these relationships. Results showed family functioning, through higher levels of marital quality, positively influenced both one's own dyadic coping (actor effect) and one's partner's dyadic coping (partner effect). Posttraumatic growth, through higher levels of marital quality, positively influenced one's own dyadic coping (actor effect). These findings underscore marital quality as a pivotal pathway for enhancing dyadic coping in remarried couples that are experiencing infertility, guiding targeted clinical interventions.

家庭功能和创伤后成长对中国不育再婚夫妇二元应对的影响：婚姻质量在行动者-伴侣相互依赖模型中的中介作用

经历不孕症的再婚夫妇面临着独特的压力源，需要有效的二元应对。研究很少考察家庭功能和创伤后成长如何通过涉及婚姻质量的间接途径共同影响二元应对。这个横断面研究318对夫妇，利用行为者-伴侣相互依赖的中介模型，检查这些关系。结果表明，家庭功能通过提高婚姻质量，对个体自身的二元应对（行动者效应）和伴侣的二元应对（伴侣效应）均有正向影响。创伤后成长，通过更高水平的婚姻质量，积极影响一个人自己的二元应对（行动者效应）。这些发现强调了婚姻质量是提高不孕再婚夫妇二元应对的关键途径，指导有针对性的临床干预。
