This research has a dyadic approach involving both patients with cardiovascular disease and their partner during the hospitalization. The first study investigates the effect of dyadic coping (DC) on partners’ marital satisfaction considering the moderating effect of the partners’ psychological distress. The results show that the beneficial effect of positive and common DC on marital satisfaction occurs when the partners’ psychological distress is low, on the contrary negative DC decreases marital satisfaction among those who have high levels of psychological distress. The second study aims to investigate the relationship between DC, adherence to medications and patient activation. The relationship is mediated by the patient health self-efficacy: positive and common DC increase patient health self-efficacy which in turn increases adherence to medication and patient activation; on the contrary, the negative DC is detrimental during hospitalization and also over time after discharge. The third study investigates the relationship between psychological distress and the quality of partner support (overprotection, hostility and support for patient engagement) through the moderating role of DC. The results show that high psychological distress increases worse partner support among those with low levels of positive DC and high negative DC.
Questa ricerca ha un approccio diadico che coinvolge sia i pazienti con malattie cardiovascolari che il loro partner durante l'ospedalizzazione. Il primo studio indaga l'effetto del coping diadico (DC) sulla soddisfazione coniugale dei partner considerando l'effetto moderatore del distress psicologico dei partner. I risultati mostrano che l'effetto benefico del DC positivo e comune sulla soddisfazione coniugale si verifica quando il distress psicologico dei partner è basso, al contrario il DC negativo diminuisce la soddisfazione coniugale tra coloro che hanno alti livelli di distress psicologico. Il secondo studio si propone di indagare la relazione tra DC, aderenza farmacologica e patient activation. La relazione è mediata dall'autoefficacia per la salute del paziente: il DC positivo e comune aumentano l'autoefficacia che a sua volta aumenta l'aderenza farmacologica e la patient activation; al contrario il DC negativo è dannoso durante il ricovero e anche dopo la dimissione. Il terzo studio indaga la relazione tra il distress psicologico e la qualità del supporto del partner (iperprotezione, ostilità e supporto al patient engagement) attraverso il ruolo moderatore del DC. I risultati mostrano che un alto distress psicologico è associato ad un peggior supporto del partner tra coloro che hanno basso DC positivo e alto DC negativo.

Abstract
This research has a dyadic approach involving both patients with cardiovascular disease and their partner during the hospitalization. The first study investigates the effect of dyadic coping (DC) on partners’ marital satisfaction considering the moderating effect of the partners’ psychological distress. The results show that the beneficial effect of positive and common DC on marital satisfaction occurs when the partners’ psychological distress is low, on the contrary negative DC decreases marital satisfaction among those who have high levels of psychological distress. The second study aims to investigate the relationship between DC, adherence to medications and patient activation. The relationship is mediated by the patient health self-efficacy: positive and common DC increase patient health self-efficacy which in turn increases adherence to medication and patient activation; on the contrary, the negative DC is detrimental during hospitalization and also over time after discharge. The third study investigates the relationship between psychological distress and the quality of partner support (overprotection, hostility and support for patient engagement) through the moderating role of DC. The results show that high psychological distress increases worse partner support among those with low levels of positive DC and high negative DC.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
