Dyadic adjustments in chronic illness: Does relationship talk matter?

Article Abstract:

A study was made to determine the effectiveness of talking about the relationship when one spouse has a chronic illness, which involved completion of a confidential questionnaire by 182 married couples. The findings highlight the importance of taking a relationship perspective and suggest that relationship talk is a potentially useful tool couples can use in their repertoire of relationship enhancing behaviors during chronic illness.
