Abstract：Objective To analyze the correlation between intimate relationships and dyadic coping in female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)and their spouses.Methods The general information questionnaire,marriage adjustment scale and dyadic coping scale were used to investigate the female patients with SLE hospitalized in four tertiary first-class hospitals in Xi'an from July 2022 to June 2023.Results The investigation was done in a total of 286 pairs of female patients with SLE and their spouses.The score of the patients'dyadic coping was(115.76±19.87),and 54.9%had marital imbalance.The score of the spouses'dyadic coping was(119.92±17.50),and 42.7%had marital imbalance.Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the patients'education degree,sleep quality and marriage age affected their dyadic coping(P<0.05),while occupation and fatigue affected the spouses'dyadic coping(P<0.05).When the independent variables were included in intimate relationships,the explanatory rates of the total variation of the patients'and spouses'dyadic coping increased by 43.5%and 39.6%,respectively.Conclusion The higher the quality of intimate relationship between female patients with SLE and their spouses,the stronger the level of dyadic coping.In clinical practice,we should pay attention to strengthening the intimate relationship between husband and wife in order to improve the level of dyadic coping.
