Objective
To describe long-term psychological
morbidity, unmet supportive care needs, positive changes, sexual
outcomes and relationship satisfaction in partners of gynaecologic
cancer survivors, as compared with respective survivors.
Method
Self-report measures were administered to a cross-sectional sample of 68 partners recruited via patient survivors.
Conclusion
The majority of partners reported
excellent sexual outcomes and little perceived change since the
survivors' diagnosis. The association between unmet needs and
psychological morbidity suggests a useful target for further
intervention. Despite methodological limitations, these data are novel
and present a starting point for further investigation to improve
outcomes for survivors and partners.
