Abstract

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer, the most common cancer in American men, may increase the risk of emotional distress in patients and their spouses. Problem-solving skills may be related to the emotional distress of the spouses.
METHOD: Thirty-two spouses of prostate cancer patients completed measures of problem-solving skills and emotional distress.
RESULTS: Proactive problem-solving skills were related to less emotional distress in spouses. Subtypes of problem-solving skills were differentially related to emotional distress.
CONCLUSIONS: Enhancement of problem-solving skills may contribute to improved health-related quality of life of spouses of prostate cancer patients.
