Resumo: | This study examined the mediating role of dyadic coping (DC) in the association between internalizing symptoms and dyadic adjustment in a sample of 184 couples expecting their first child. Each partner completed self-report questionnaires assessing symptoms of depression and anxiety, dyadic adjustment and DC during the second trimester of pregnancy. An extension of the actor-partner interdependence model for testing direct and indirect effects was used. Compared to men, women presented higher levels of internalizing symptoms and dyadic adjustment and engaged more in DC by self. Significant indirect effects of internalizing symptoms on dyadic adjustment via common DC and DC by one’s partner were found. Specifically, higher internalizing symptoms were associated with lower common DC and DC by one’s partner, which, in turn, were associated with lower dyadic adjustment. This mediation occurred either within person as well as across partners and occurred similarly for women and men. These results suggest that primiparous couples may benefit from DC-enhancing interventions, such as the cognitive-behavioral couple-based programs Couples Coping Enhancement Training (CCET) and Coping-Oriented Couple Therapy (COCT), to assist them in responding sensitively to their partners’ psychological symptoms, which may have a positive effect on marital adjustment. |

Cada elemento do casal preencheu, no segundo trimestre de gravidez, um conjunto de questionários que avaliavam os sintomas depressivos e de ansiedade, o ajustamento diádico e o coping diádico. Uma extensão do actor-partner interdependence model foi utilizada para testar os efeitos diretos e indiretos. Comparativamente aos homens, as mulheres reportaram maiores níveis de sintomas internalizantes e de ajustamento diádico, e envolveram-se em mais CD pela própria. Foram encontrados efeitos indiretos significativos dos sintomas internalizantes no ajustamento diádico via CD conjunto e CD pelo parceiro. Especificamente, mais sintomas internalizantes mostraram-se associados a menor envolvimento em formas de CD conjunto e CD pelo parceiro, que por sua vez se associavam a um menor ajustamento diádico. Esta mediação ocorreu quer intra-sujeitos quer entre-casal e ocorreu de forma similar para mulheres e homens. Estes resultados sugerem que os pais primíparos podem beneficiar de intervenções promotoras de CD, tais como os programas de base cognitivo-comportamental para casais, o Couples Coping Enhancement Training (CCET) e o Coping-Oriented Couple Therapy (COCT). Estes programas podem ser particularmente uteis para ajudar os casais a responder de forma mais sensitiva aos sintomas psicológicos do(a) parceiro(a), o que pode ter um efeito positivo no ajustamento conjugal.Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra2020-12-28info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_63-2_5https://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_63-2_5Psychologica; Vol. 63 No. 2 (2020); 93-117Psychologica; Vol. 63 N.º 2 (2020); 93-1171647-86060871-465710.14195/1647-8606_63-2reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/9514https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/9514/7146Direitos de Autor (c) 2020 Psychologicahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, MarcoBarbosa, RosaAlves, StephanieFonseca, AnaCanavarro, Maria Cristina2023-05-31T13:59:51Zoai:impactum-journals.uc.pt:article/9514Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:59:00.260442Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
