188 Background: Although breast cancer is more commonly diagnosed in post-menopausal women, there are a significant number of survivors diagnosed at age 45 or younger. Compared to older survivors, younger survivors have significantly more problems with depression sexual functioning, marital satisfaction, and overall well-being, but there is little research on the partners of these younger survivors. The purpose of this study is to determine if the partners of young survivors experience more problems with depression, sexual functioning, marital satisfaction, and overall well-being than partners of age-matched controls. Methods: Survivors and partners (n=227) were enrolled in a large cross-sectional study, executed through the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group. Eligibility for survivors included being 45 or under at diagnosis, 3 to 8 years from treatment without a breast cancer recurrence, and with similar chemotherapy treatment regimens. Survivors identified age-matched acquaintance controls without breast cancer. These age matched controls and their partners (n=170) were also included. All groups completed a survey assessing demographic characteristics, depression, sexual functioning (enjoyment and difficulty), marital satisfaction, and overall well-being. The partners of both young survivors and acquaintance controls were compared on all study variables adjusting for demographic variables. Results: Partners of young survivors reported significantly more depression (effect size [ES] = -0.23, p=.0199), worse sexual functioning as indicated by lower enjoyment (ES= 0.32, p=.0019) and more sexual difficulty (ES= -0.24, p=.0164), lower marital satisfaction (ES=0.24, p=.0189), and lower overall well-being (ES= 0.40, p=.0001). Conclusions: Partners of breast cancer survivors suffer from problems similar to breast cancer survivors. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of a breast cancer diagnosis on both the partner as well as the survivor, especially when problems exist that are related to the dyadic relationship.

This study is part of a larger PhD research project on marital satisfaction of Breast Cancer Patients and their spouses in the Discipline of Sociology. The study was conducted by using a mixed method design. An interpretative research approach was used to collect data from 12 couples confronting breast cancer to unveil their experiences of marital satisfaction, while data from 279 couples were taken through a survey. In this paper the qualitative finding will be presented to highlight the couples’ nuanced experience as a consequence of their diagnosis. The findings reveal that the majority of participants experienced distress in their marital relationship. Breast cancer-confronting couples stated that breast cancer affected their intimate and /sexual relationship, besides acquainting them with individual psychological and mutual spousal issues. Difficulties in dealing with physical deformity and psychological effects resulting from breast cancer, and the ways these changes influenced their marital satisfaction, were observed by a majority of the participants. The findings suggest that couples with strong emotional bonding and understanding dealt with these consequences in a better way.
