This study explores the impact spinal cord injury (SCI) of one of the partners has had upon the marital relationship and the individual and relational characteristics which participant couples believe have helped them to maintain the integrity of their relationship. In this qualitative investigation, five couples discuss the story of their relationship prior to, and subsequent from, the spinal cord injury of one of the partners. Couples describe the characteristics and factors which assisted them in coping with SCI and make recommendations for rehabilitation and mental health professionals that increase support for individuals with SCI, their spouses, and their marriages. Literature spanning 40 years is reviewed and used as a foundation for the design of this study. This investigation is grounded using a combination of theoretical approaches: personal construction theory to seek understanding of the personal adjustment of each of the partners to the disability, ecological theory to seek explanation regarding the complexities involved in responding to trauma and marital strain; and symbolic interaction theory to give context to family systems issues as the couple adjusts roles, functions, and expectations. A descriptive, multiple case study design was used to seek understanding of the experience of participant couples and to strengthen the validity and stability of the findings. Participants were invited from two pools: An SCI association of a medium-sized midwestern state, and an Internet listserve of SCI couples. Selection criteria included: SCI occurrence at least 18 months prior; injury due to sudden onset; and, involvement in a committed relationship at the time of injury which has maintained up to the time of the study. A semi-structured format was used for each 2 ư to 3 hour interview. All couples noted major changes in priorities and daily activities, marital role changes, the need for personal care and independence, and social changes for the couple as having major impact upon their relationship following SCI. Eighty percent reported their relationship to be stronger and the majority claimed an increase in intimacy. Extraordinary stress for the non-injured spouse and increased financial pressures are noted. Major factors contributing to maintaining these relationships include: a clear commitment to the relationship; having strong values and a spiritual foundation, meaningful employment for each spouse; having parents as good marital role models; having a positive attitude; and, returning to a normal pattern of living. Couples stressed the importance for rehabilitation professionals to listen attentively, to support and include the non-injured spouse, and to provide the couple with time alone. This research verified the results of previous studies. New findings included reduction in marital conflict regarding gender-role changes after SCI and the need for couples to share emotional closeness and friendship.

(Uncorrected OCR) Abstract of thesis entitled Marital Adjustment in Couples with One Partner having Physical Disability/ Illness Submitted by LAC Wai-vL'c for the Degree of iVlaster of Social Sciences (Clinical Psychology) at the University of I long Kong in August 2000 This stud) utilized a vulnerabiliiy-^iress-aduptatioii model oi" marriage to investigate predictors of marital adjustment in couples when one partner having physical disability/ illness. In examining 20 spinal cord injured persons and their spouses, neuiolicism and negative social interaction were associated with lower marital satisfaction, whereas positive social interaction was associated with higher marital satisfaction. Although most respondents and spouses reported some emotional strain in receiving and providing care, no association between level of emotional strain and marital satisfaction was found. Among the relationship-focused coping efforts that geared toward managing and maintaining relationships, active engagement and empathie responding strategies were associated with better marital satisfaction. This study moved beyond individualistic perspective lo examine dyadic patterns of coping between husbands and wives and their significance for relationship satisfaction. Positive social support and active engagement were found to predict marital satisfaction in spouse, whereas both positive and negative social support, together with spouses' empathelie responding, were found to predict marital satisfaction in spinal cord injured persons. The clinical implications of these, as well as the limitations and directions for future research were discussed. v.

Though the study of the impact of a spinal cord injury has become more prevelant in the last decade, very little research has been undertaken to increase the understanding of such an event on the marital dyad. Few researchers have included the spouse's appraisal of the marital relationship, thereby seriously limiting the scope of their study. This research was designed to explore the impact of the husbands' traumatic spinal cord injury on the functioning of the marital dyad and to identify the dyadic change process that was precipitated. A. case study method was selected to facilitate in depth exploration of changes in the marital dyad and to determine the husband's and the wife's present role functions as breadwinner, as social companion and as sexual partner. The data analysis of two marital dyads revealed an adjustment process which, can-be differentiated into three stages: Assault , Upheaval and Recovery . The final step in the recovery stage was the dyads' decision to accept or reject the new dyadic roles that had emerged as a result of the process. The findings indicated that Dyad A rejected the new roles and ultimately chose dissolution of the dyad while Dyad B accepted the new roles and continued the marital relationship. The findings were presented using the symbolic interaction conceptual framework for interpretation and discussion. Implications for further dyadic research are presented as well as some considerations for health care professionals.

This research study examined the implication of each partner’s adult attachment pattern on their working alliance and marital satisfaction throughout their time in the study. Presently, there is growing support and evidence in research that points to the importance of developing positive working alliance in therapy. Therefore, by observing the influence of one’s attachment pattern on the development of the working alliance throughout couple treatment, this research study examined the quality of alliance that unfolds with partners of various attachment and reflective functioning backgrounds. The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of attachment on the growth and progress of the therapeutic relationship, and whether attachment and a beneficial therapeutic relationship supports an increase in reported martial satisfaction after treatment. The study included 24 partners (12 couples) recruited from a larger couple study. In the initial assessment phase, each partner was given the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS). The couples’ AAI transcript was evaluated using the Reflective Functioning Scale (RF). After the initial phase, each partner participated in a genogram task project that took place over various sessions. The genogram sessions will be observed for therapeutic alliance by using the Segmented Working Alliance Inventory Observer-Based Measure (S-WAI-O). During the final assessment phase each partner was readministered the DAS, and as a couple they completed the Post-Treatment Debriefing Interview; this allowed for a final examination of marital satisfaction and therapeutic alliance. Lastly, data gathered from the proposed study was supplied by archival data from a larger couple study.
