Research indicates high levels of marital resources support recovery from individual depression and "buffer" partners at risk of depression following negative life events. Marital treatments of depression provide greater efficacy than individual therapies when marital factors are relevant. This body of research is useful for treatment of individual depression following the medical trauma of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Research historically emphasized the patient but spousal and marital variables are now considered critical factors in recovery among breast cancer patients. The present study tests a model called "The Resourceful Partner" (RP), a construct which specifies marital factors (i.e., mastery, attachment, resilience) hypothesized to reduce vulnerability to depression following medical trauma. The RP model was operationalized in a clinical assessment scale and tested among a sample of 37 couples (N = 74) coping with breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Findings indicate the RP scale predicts psychological distress more effectively than a general marital satisfaction scale. Higher levels of marital resources, as defined by the RP model, were associated with lower levels of psychological distress and higher levels of patient rehabilitation when measured by a disease-specific, behavioral measure designed for breast cancer patients (CARES). Results also supported hypotheses based on attachment theory. Subjects reporting "secure" attachment styles reported higher levels of rehabilitation and lower levels of psychological distress than subjects reporting "insecure" attachment styles. Findings indicate that the RP model could improve clinical assessment and treatment of psychological needs among breast cancer patients and their spouses during periods following diagnosis and treatment.
