Social relationships and relational pain in brain tumor patients and their partners
1Department of Human Sciences and Design, Baylor University, Waco, TX, United States.
Abstract:
Partners play an important role in both the general well-being and the care needs of patients. The dynamic between brain tumor treatment and patients' families is a complex bidirectional relationship. Cancer diagnosis and treatments which leave patients compromised impact the nature and quality of their relationships, and these in turn impact the ability of their partners to care for them. This paper will review the nature of the impact of diagnosis and treatment on relationships and how couples and families respond to the disruption of cancer treatments. The impact of how emotional and social pain effect their relationships and their ability to engage in care will be addressed.
