Older spouses' perceptions of partners' chronic arthritis pain: Implications for spousal responses, support provision, and caregiving experiences

Article Abstract:

A study of older patients with osteoarthritis and their spouses was conducted to examine concordance between patients and spouses' reports of patients' pain severity and the association of concordance with support and caregiving outcomes. Spouses who were accurate in their perceptions of their partner's level of pain during log-carrying activity responded less negatively providing emotional support that was more satisfying to patients.
