Abstract

Globally, one out of three people suffer from a mental health issue during their lifetime. In romantic relationships, impaired mental health does not only affect the individual but also their partner and therefore needs to be coped with dyadically. In this systematic review, we summarize research examining dyadic coping (DC) in the context of mental health and individual and relational outcomes. We searched for peer-reviewed articles published between January 1990 and April 2023 on PsycInfo, Medline, and PSYNDEX on DC and mental health within romantic relationships. A total of 60 qualitative, quantitative, and intervention studies met the inclusion criteria, reporting on 16,394 individuals and 4,945 dyads. To synthesize the studies, we used a narrative synthesis approach. Overall, stress expression and positive DC yielded beneficial individual and relational outcomes, whereas, for negative DC, the opposite was true. Results differed between mental health clusters and context played an important role (e.g., symptom severity, life phase). Due to the great diversity of studies and variables, further research should focus on understudied mental health clusters (e.g., anxiety disorders). Clinicians are advised to view mental health issues as a dyadic rather than an individual phenomenon (“we-disease”) and develop tailored couple-centered interventions.

夫妻的Dyadic应对与心理健康：一项系统综述。

在全球范围内，三分之一的人一生中都有心理健康问题。在恋爱关系中，心理健康受损不仅会影响个人，还会影响他们的伴侣，因此需要二元应对。在这篇系统综述中，我们总结了在心理健康、个人和关系结果的背景下研究二元应对（DC）的研究。我们搜索了1990年1月至2023年4月在PsycInfo、Medline和PSYNDEX上发表的关于恋爱关系中的DC和心理健康的同行评审文章。共有60项定性、定量和干预研究符合纳入标准，报告了16394名个体和4945名二人组。为了综合这些研究，我们采用了叙事综合法。总的来说，压力表达和积极的DC产生了有益的个人和关系结果，而消极的DC则相反。心理健康集群的结果不同，背景起着重要作用（例如，症状严重程度、生活阶段）。由于研究和变量的多样性，进一步的研究应该集中在研究不足的心理健康集群（例如焦虑症）上。临床医生被建议将心理健康问题视为一种二元现象，而不是一种个体现象（“我们疾病”），并制定有针对性的以夫妇为中心的干预措施。

期刊介绍： Clinical Psychology Review serves as a platform for substantial reviews addressing pertinent topics in clinical psychology. Encompassing a spectrum of issues, from psychopathology to behavior therapy, cognition to cognitive therapies, behavioral medicine to community mental health, assessment, and child development, the journal seeks cutting-edge papers that significantly contribute to advancing the science and/or practice of clinical psychology. While maintaining a primary focus on topics directly related to clinical psychology, the journal occasionally features reviews on psychophysiology, learning therapy, experimental psychopathology, and social psychology, provided they demonstrate a clear connection to research or practice in clinical psychology. Integrative literature reviews and summaries of innovative ongoing clinical research programs find a place within its pages. However, reports on individual research studies and theoretical treatises or clinical guides lacking an empirical base are deemed inappropriate for publication.
