Spirituality, Emotional distress, and post‐traumatic Growth in breast cancer survivors and their partners: An actor–partner interdependence modeling approach
ConclusionsFollowing diagnosis and treatment, spirituality appears to associate with positive growth in BC survivors and their partners. However, BC survivor and partner spirituality seem to be ineffective at impacting the other's post‐traumatic growth or emotional distress, with the exception of intrusive thoughts. Dyadic analysis takes into account the reciprocal influence of close relationships on health, and is an important and under‐utilized methodology in behavioral oncology research and clinical practice.
