Chen, Yu-Ping, and Margaret Shaffer. "The influence of expatriate spouses’ coping strategies on expatriate and spouse adjustment." Journal of Global Mobility: The Home of Expatriate Management Research 6, no. 1 (2018): 20–39. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/jgm-07-2016-0032.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose Drawing upon Folkman and Lazarus’ (1984) coping framework and interdependence theory (Thibaut and Kelley, 1959), the purpose of this paper is to investigate how expatriate spouses’ coping strategies (problem-focused and emotion-focused) affect expatriate spouse adjustment and expatriate adjustment. In addition, the authors also examine the mediating effect of expatriate adjustment on the spouse coping strategies-spouse adjustment relationship. Design/methodology/approach To test these relationships, the authors collected multi-source data from 191 expatriate spouses and their expatriate partners living in 37 countries. Findings The results revealed that problem- and emotion-focused coping strategies positively and negatively, respectively, influenced all types of spouse adjustment: personal, interaction, and cultural. Both forms of spouse coping also influenced expatriate adjustment. The authors also found that expatriate adjustment mediated the relationship between expatriate spouses’ coping strategies and spouse adjustment. Practical implications The results suggest that multinational organizations should pay equal attention to the adjustment of both their expatriates and their spouses. Both expatriates and their spouses should be included in the initial selection process and in pre-departure training to get well equipped before the international assignment. Training spouses to adopt problem-focused coping strategies would help to facilitate the effective adjustment of both spouses and expatriates. Originality/value The research provides one of the first examinations that investigate expatriate spouses’ coping strategies and their impact on expatriate and expatriate spouse adjustment. This research also highlights the interdependency of expatriates and their spouses.

Afesha, Nigussie. "Comment: Post-divorce Maintenance under Ethiopia’s Revised Family Code: Some Observations." Mizan Law Review 16, no. 1 (2022): 209–22. http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/mlr.v16i1.8.
Full textAbstract:
The Revised Family Code (RFC) of Ethiopia states the circumstance in which a spouse can claim maintenance. These are during a divorce proceeding and, ordinarily, as any person, citing the provisions that explicate the obligation to supply maintenance. The RFC puts spouses at the top rank in the maintenance claimants’ order. This raises the question whether this applies to a spouse while the marriage is intact, a spouse while divorce proceedings are in progress, or an ex-spouse. This comment examines the existence (or otherwise) of a legal ground for an ex-spouse to claim maintenance under the RFC. I argue that the issue of maintenance does not arise in relation to a spouse while marriage is intact because the spouses have joint ownership and equal entitlement with regard to their property. Besides, a spouse can invoke temporary maintenance while divorce proceeding is underway due to a petition filed by one of the spouses. It can thus be argued that the obligation to supply maintenance embodied in the Revised Family Code entitles an ex-spouse (who is needy and unable to earn livelihood) to claim maintenance.

Abstract Spouses provide critical support to cancer survivors, but are not always identified as caregivers. This study sought to understand the differences between such spouses. Using the Medical Expenditures Panel Survey 2016 Experiences with Cancer Supplement, spousal dyads in which one spouse had cancer were identified (n=670). Cancer survivors reported which family members or friends, if any, provided care during or after their cancer treatment. Survivor and spouse sociodemographic characteristics and spouse psychosocial characteristics including depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-2), distress (Kessler-6), and self-rated health were self-reported in the survey. The proportion of spouses identified as caregivers was calculated and compared with those not identified as caregivers on dyadic characteristics. Multivariable logistic regressions compared spouses’ depression, distress, and self-rated health by identification as a caregiver. All analyses employed survey weighting. Most married cancer survivors reported that their spouse was a caregiver (32%) or that they did not have a caregiver (65%); very few did not list their spouse as a caregiver (3%). Survivors who were white (non-Hispanic) or off treatment were less likely to report that their spouse was a caregiver (30% vs. 46%, p0.10; 9.6% vs 11.1%, p>0.10; and 46% vs 50%, p>0.10, respectively). The findings suggest that spouses’ experiences may be similar regardless of whether they are considered a caregiver, with implications for research and service delivery.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this qualitative study was to develop our knowledge of the pain experiences of family members by addressing the meaning of cancer pain to the spouse of a patient receiving palliative care. In particular, this study explored factors associated with the meanings the spouses ascribe to the experience of pain during palliative care and whether the meanings the patients attributed to pain were similar to the meanings held by the spouse. Two different states emerged, the “in-pain state” and the “out of pain state”. The spouses described feelings of helplessness, fear, and unfairness when witnessing their loved one in pain. Once the pain had been controlled, spouses described feelings of peace and relaxation, and felt this meant that the couple could return to their old routines because their spouse was still alive. It was discovered that the meanings placed on the cancer pain differed for the spouse and the patient, with the spouse focusing on future consequences. Implications and suggestions for nursing practice and future research are proposed.

The article deals with the issue of the rules applicable to resolving disputes between spouses on recovery of a part of the distributed profit of a limited liability company received by a spouse — a participant in a limited liability company. It is concluded that the recovery of the spouse (ex-spouse) with spouse (ex-spouse), the shares of part of the distributed profit belonging to the common property, shall be in accordance with the norms of family law on the division of common property, and not the civil law on obligations due to unjust enrichment.

This article focuses on a rarely discussed and relatively unknown type of elder abuse: elder abuse by a spouse. The data presented comes from a study examining the dynamics of elder abuse cases in three CISC's in Quebec (Local Centre for Community Services). Firstly, the characteristics associated with forms of abuse and both the abused spouse and the abusive spouse are described. Cases of elder abuse by a spouse are also compared with the other cases of elder abuse in the sample: abuse by a child, another family member, a friend or an acquaintance. Secondly, the authors examine more specifics situations of elder abuse by a spouse such as situations where one of the spouses has cognitive impairment and how that differs from situations where both spouses are lucid. For each of these situations, the different elements having an impact on the dynamics of abuse are discussed.

Introduction: Most of the elderly who have spouses have a high level of spiritual well-being, but some also have moderate and low levels of spiritual well-being. This is also experienced by the elderly who do not have a life partner, some have moderate and low levels of spiritual well-being, but some also have high levels of high spiritual well-being. Purpose: this study aims to determine the difference in the spiritual well-being of the elderly who have a spouse and without a spouse. Place of Research: Rejosari Health Center Working Area. Methods: This study used a quantitative design using a comparative study method. The approach used was cross sectional. Results: There is no difference in the level of spiritual well-being of the elderly who have a spouse and without a spouse (Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.228, 0.05). Conclusion: There is no difference in the level of spiritual well-being of the elderly who have spouses and those without spouses. Suggestion: Future researchers can examine the factors that affect the spiritual well-being of the elderly with or without a spouse.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundResemblance between spouses can be due to phenotypic assortment, social homogamy and/or marital interaction. A significant degree of assortment can have consequences for the genetic architecture of a population. We examined the existence and cause(s) of assortment for obsessive–compulsive (OC), anxious and depressive symptoms in a population-based twin-family sample.MethodOC, anxious and depressive symptoms were measured in around 1400 twin–spouse pairs and >850 parent pairs. Correlations of twins and their spouse, twin and co-twin's spouse, spouses of both twins and parents of twins were obtained to consider phenotypic assortment versus social homogamy as possible causes of marital resemblance. The association of length of relationship with marital resemblance was also investigated. Finally, we examined whether within-trait or cross-trait processes play a primarily role in marital resemblance.ResultsSmall but significant within-trait correlations of between 0.1 and 0.2 were seen for spouse similarity in OC, anxious and depressive symptoms. Cross-correlations were significant but lower. There was no correlation between length of relationship and marital resemblance. From the pattern of correlations for twin–spouse, co-twin–spouse and spouses of both twins, phenotypic assortment could not be distinguished from social homogamy. Both within- and cross-assortment processes play a role in marital resemblance.ConclusionsSmall within- and across-trait correlations exist for OC, anxious and depressive symptoms. No evidence for marital interaction was found. Spouse correlations are small, which makes it difficult to distinguish between social homogamy and phenotypic assortment. It is unlikely that correlations of this size will have a large impact on genetic studies.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: This study targets to groundwork the role played by spouses and household members in female businesses. This study focuses on married female entrepreneurs. The Conservation of Resource theory conveys that females as an entrepreneur can obtain, retain and then extend resources from their spouses and family members (Hobfoll, 1989). Hence it is theoretically needed to enquire about women’s entrepreneurship from the family and spouse point of view therefore it helps in understanding the depth of their influence on women’s business performance.
 
 Methodology: The Conservation of Resource Theory was used to analyze the influence of spouse and family in the female entrepreneur’s life. To insight more knowledge about the study the articles published on the topic “Women Entrepreneurs”, “Spousal Influence” and “Family Influence” was selected from the Scopus Indexed journals, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from 1990-2022. The reason behind selecting the previous research on the topic is highly cited research papers on female entrepreneurship, spouse, and family support for their business.
 
 Findings: This study examines the role played by both household members and spouses with the support of the conservation of resource theory. Household members are the good reserves and they provide support to business-women, although a woman needs support from their spouse. The family-work dispute arises due to business with household members being overcome easily by women because of having an understanding spouse.
 
 Research, Practical & Social Implications: This study attempts to investigate the resources provided by spouses and household members in women’s businesses through the use of Conservation of Resource Theory. Married women can perform their business more effectively by obtaining the resources provided by their spouse and family members because females as an entrepreneur can utilize and grasp maximum resources from their surroundings.
 
 Originality/value: The results indicate that the observation of married businesswomen is unfinished without the examination of her spouse and family. The relationship between women’s business performance are positively correlates with spouses and family members.

The study concerns the scope of liability with the joint property for the obligations of one of the spouses and the issue of the defence of the debtor’s spouse by way of anti-enforcement actions. First, the matter of the property liability of the spouses for the obligations incurred by one of them when they remain in the matrimonial regime is discussed. Next, the issue of the joint property liability for the obligations due to the public law liabilities has been outlined. Further on, anti-enforcement actions as an expression of the substantive defence of the debtor’s spouse have been discussed. Finally, it was pointed out that the debtor’s spouse had an opportunity to defend himself/herself in the event of the execution from the joint bank account of the debtor and his spouse.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Past decades have seen a surge of studies investigating the role of spouses in chronic illness. The present study explored an interpersonal model of health-related quality of life in chronic pain settings. Spouse personality was tested as a moderator of pain intensity-to-health associations in patients with chronic pain. Methods. This is a cross-sectional study. Participants were 185 noncancer chronic pain patients and their spouses. Patients were mostly females (58.4%). Mean age was approximately 56 years for patients and spouses. Patients completed a measure of pain intensity, health-related quality of life, and personality. Spouses also reported on their personality characteristics. Spouse personality was used as the moderator in the relationship between patients’ pain intensity and health status. Patient personality was used as a covariate in the moderation analyses. Results. Spouse neuroticism moderated the relationship between pain intensity and physical health status, while spouse introversion moderated the pain-to-mental health association. Conclusions. Results support the idea that the relationship between a chronic stressor, namely, chronic pain, and health-related quality of life may be complex and contextually determined by spousal characteristics. Clinical implications are discussed in the context of couples.

Full textAbstract:
This autoethnography explores one woman’s international move from Colorado to Switzerland in the role of trailing spouse. Trailing spouse describes a person who moves abroad to support his or her spouse’s career. This term conjures an experience defined by a lack of agency and often intense identity struggle and can foreshadow some of the challenges trailing spouses face upon arrival in their new country. The author critically calls her identity, privilege, and gender roles into question as she navigates what it means to be a new mother, wife, academic, and expat in the role of trailing spouse. She exposes the invisible work of reorienting her identity to the new culture and roles, something she was too overwhelmed to do while living abroad. By examining how the role of trailing spouse is conceptualized and lived, it becomes clear that supporting spouses in an international move must make space for identity struggle instead of consistency or coherence. This piece argues that trailing spouses need to find space to embrace the identity struggle, in a world that values identity coherence.

Antidepressant use surrounding widowhood." European Journal of Public Health 30, no. 5 (2020): 953–57. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/eurpub/ckaa099.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Previous studies have shown that the risk of death is elevated after the death of a spouse. Limited evidence is available on changes in mental health before and after bereavement among individuals whose spouse dies of dementia. Methods We analyzed changes in the 3-month prevalence of antidepressant use for 5 years before and 3 years after widowhood for individuals whose spouses died of either dementia or other causes. The study used data of 41 855 widowed individuals and repeated-measures logistic regression analyses. Antidepressant use was based on the prescription register of Finland in 1995–2007. Results Five years before widowhood, the 3-month prevalence for antidepressant use was 4% among widowing men and 6–7% among widowing women, regardless of whether the spouse died of dementia or other causes. Further changes in antidepressant use depended on a spouse’s cause of death. Women whose spouses died of dementia experienced large increase in antidepressant use starting from 3 to 4 years prior to widowhood, whereas other widows did not experience large increase until after widowhood. The trajectories for men were similar. Antidepressant use following the death of a spouse with dementia stayed at a new heightened level after widowhood. Conclusions The trajectories of antidepressant use indicate that the process of losing a spouse to dementia is bad for mental health, already a few years prior to widowhood. There are no clear improvements in mental health after the death of a spouse with dementia. Support services for individuals whose spouses’ dementia progresses are needed.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Most studies of spouse similarity for psychiatric disorders have focused on clinical samples and are thus limited by selection bias. This study is, to our knowledge, the first comprehensive investigation of spouse similarity for lifetime psychiatric history in a general population sample using standardized diagnostic criteria.Methods. We studied 519 pairs of spouses residing in Edmonton, Canada who completed the Diagnostic Interview Schedule psychiatric interview. In each pair, one spouse belonged to a random subsample of persons who had participated in a large population survey and was re-interviewed. Association between spouses for lifetime DSM-III psychiatric disorders was analysed with bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results. We observed significant spousal association for lifetime presence of affective disorders and for the spectrum of antisocial personality and addiction disorders. Antisocial personality in one spouse was also associated with anxiety disorders in the other spouse, namely post-traumatic stress disorder in wives and phobia in husbands; similarly, drug abuse/dependence in wives was associated with generalized anxiety in husbands and male drug abuse/dependence was associated with female post-traumatic stress disorder. Dysthymia in wives was associated with generalized anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder in husbands.Conclusions. The existence of associations between spouses for the presence of psychiatric disorders, either similar or different, has significant implications for both clinicians and researchers. Future research should aim at exploring the aetiological mechanisms of these associations.

Full textAbstract:
SynopsisWhile spouse similarity for psychiatric morbidity has been the object of numerous studies, most of these focused on clinical samples and, consequently, the interpretation of their results is limited by the existence of a selection bias. In this study, conducted on a sample of 845 general population couples, significant spouse similarity was observed for psychological distress and well-being, characterized by a marked symmetry in the relation between spouses' scores. The sex differences observed in many earlier studies would appear essentially to be artefactual. Spouse similarity was also found to be significant in the subpopulation of couples married less than two years, which pointed to assortative mating for psychological distress and well-being. While many studies have found educational dissimilarity and age difference between spouses to be associated with certain health variables, such as high blood pressure and coronary heart disease, these variables do not have a significant influence on individual levels of psychological distress and well-being. Spouse similarity for socio-demographic characteristics does not play a significant role in explaining spouse similarity for mental health. Consequently, assortative mating for psychological distress and well-being would appear to be primarily due to personal preference.

Full textAbstract:
Newly released data from the U.S. Department of Defense shows military spouse suicide to be an imminent concern for the U.S. military. Currently, there is an absence of research in the counseling profession related to suicide prevention and intervention for this population. Therefore, this qualitative phenomenological study explored the perceptions of military spouses regarding suicide within their community. Ten military spouses were interviewed twice and were asked to provide written responses to follow-up questions. Six main themes emerged: (a) loss of control, (b) loss of identity, (c) fear of seeking mental health services, (d) difficulty accessing mental health services, (e) the military spouse community as a protective factor, and (f) desire for better communication about available mental health resources. Implications for practicing counselors and military leadership in helping to prevent military spouse suicide as well as recommendations for future research regarding ways to support military spouse mental health and prevent suicide in this community are included.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines how firm performance and family income are affected when an “owner-managed” firm transitions to a “copreneurial” business. Data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics were used to track changes in firm performance and family income from 1996 to 2006 during which time an owner-manager decided to partner with his spouse. The findings suggest that (a) involvement of one’s spouse in the business had no significant impact on firm profits and (b) working with one’s spouse had a significant impact on family income. The authors hypothesize that the lack of spousal influence on firm performance is because of their inability to influence their spouses, their lack of education and skills needed by the firm, and organizational “imprinting.” Moreover, since it is hypothesized that many spouses work for little or no pay, there would not be a significant impact on family income as the result of one’s partnering with a spouse. However, this hypothesis was not confirmed.

Delegation of financial decision-making to spouse in old age Professor Anup Basu from Queensland University of Technology explains the process of delegating financial decision-making to spouses in old age. Ageing can cause cognitive abilities to decline, adversely impacting financial decision-making capacity. Although in many married households, one spouse is primarily responsible for managing household finances, discharging this responsibility can become challenging with age, and it may become necessary to share it with the other spouse.

Use of alcohol has been one of the major source of recreation and stress relievers to date and it is one of the most abused substances in the world due to its free availability. The cost that a spouses incur in terms of economic hardships, social isolation and physical strain can be referred to as Spouse Burden. Spouses play an important role inpatient’s support and treatment and with a study like this there might be a better understanding of the problem. A descriptive, cross-Sectional hospital based study was done in 62 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for Alcohol Dependence Syndrome (ICD-10 DCR) and consents were taken from required personnel.
 Most of the patients examined were in the age group 40 to 60 years of age (72.6%) followed by the age group up to 40 (22.6%). 72.5% of the spouses were up to 40 years of age, followed by spouses of the age group 40-60 (27.5%).Males were the primary alcohol abusers(87%).51.6% of the patients were unemployed and the rest 48.4% was still employed whereas 51.6%of the spouses were employed and the rest48.4% unemployed. 51.6% of the patients were illiterate whereas majority of the spouses were literate(67.7%).
 There is a significant severity of burden of alcohol dependence syndrome in spouses and these verity of dependence is positively correlated with spouse burden. Financial, spouse routine, spouse interaction, physical and mental health of other members of the family were significantly affected with increase in dependence.

A fairly common practice in the field of civil trafficking is the situation when one of the spouses in his lifetime makes a will in favor of the other spouse. However, marriage between spouses can subsequently be dissolved. And on this basis, the question of the subsequent legal fate of the drawn up will quite naturally arises. What will happen to such a will? Will it automatically become effective upon dissolution of the marriage, or does the ex-spouse have to make a separate act to cancel or amend his earlier will? And what will happen to the will if the testator spouse enters into a new marriage? It is the search for answers to these questions that this article is devoted to.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Marriage influences the economic rights of spouses when joint community property is created. When a marriage is dissolved, joint community property has to be divided. Each country sets different rules about how joint community property should be divided between spouses. Lithuania has chosen the presumption of equal shares in joint community property. Courts may depart from equal shares of spouses because of such important circumstances as interests of children, health state of a spouse, and personal income used to increase joint community property. However, courts have never departed from the equal shares principle due to differing contributions by spouses to matrimonial property. Meanwhile, other countries take into account contribution of spouses in order to divide property fairly and to protect the interests of the spouse who has contributed significantly to joint property, if the marriage was brief and the marriage produced no children. The impossibility to depart from equal shares to different contribution of spouses could increase the misuse of the institution of marriage and the unjust division of joint community property when the spouse who has not contributed to joint community property receives an equal share of it.

Full textAbstract:
We-talk (first-person plural pronoun usage) is frequently used to represent the degree to which a person views an illness as shared within a couple. There is evidence that we-talk is related to good relationship and health. However, research has failed to examine the implications of we-talk for spouses and the interpersonal mechanisms that underlie relational and health benefits. To address these limitations, we investigated the association of we-talk to relationship and health among 199 couples in which one person had type 1 diabetes. We-talk was assessed in the context of a brief coping interview with patients and spouses separately. Patients reported their perceptions of their spouse’s behavior over the past month. Actor–partner interdependence, regression, and bootstrap models showed that patient we-talk was unrelated to patient and spouse well-being, but greater spouse we-talk was associated with higher patient relationship satisfaction, higher patient self-efficacy, and better patient self-care behavior. For spouses, greater spouse we-talk also was associated with higher relationship satisfaction, lower stress, and fewer depressive symptoms. Mediational analyses showed that patients’ perceptions of spouses’ greater emotional support and fewer critical behaviors partially accounted for these associations. Spouse we-talk may be more important than patient we-talk because it signifies that spouses are involved in helping with diabetes management, namely by providing emotional support and refraining from criticizing the patient.

Full textAbstract:
Tässä laadullisessa tutkimuksessa selvitimme, miten muistisairautta sairastava ikääntyvä puoliso ja hänen puoliso-omaishoitajansa kuvaavat muistisairaan puolison toimijuutta parisuhteessa. Analysoimme aineiston sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Muodostimme aineistosta neljä pääteemaa. Puoliso-omaishoitajat kuvasivat muistisairaan toimijuutta eri tavalla kuin sairastavat itse. Puoliso-omaishoitaja kuvasi muistisairaan puolison toimijuutta touhuamisena, mutta sairastavalla käyttäytymisen taustalla oli huoli kotitöistä. Kun muistisairas puoliso havaitsi, ettei kykene tekemään jotakin, mielenkiinto asiaa kohtaan väheni. Puoliso-omaishoitaja näki tilanteessa aloitekyvyttömyyttä. Parisuhteen yhteisissä sosiaalisissa tilanteissa muistisairautta sairastava oli tilanteesta ja ihmisestä riippuen aktiivisena toimijana tai aktiivisena tarkkailijana, itse toimintatapansa valiten. Puoliso-omaishoitajan näkökulmasta puoliso vetäytyi syrjään. Muistisairas puoliso vaikutti myös puoliso-omaishoitajan toimijuuteen vaatimalla läsnäoloa, jolloin tämä joutui osittain luopumaan omasta toimijuudestaan ja toimimaan puolisonsa ehdoilla. Muistisairauteen sairastuneet ovat aktiivisia toimijoita vuorovaikutuksessa muiden ihmisten kanssa omilla ehdoillaan tilanteesta riippuen. He hakevat toimijuuden jakamista puolisonsa kanssa niissä tilanteissa, joissa se on mahdollista, vaikka puoliso-omaishoitajan näkökulmasta kyse ei olisi vastavuoroisesta toimijuudesta. Jaettu toimijuus tukee muistisairautta sairastavan puolison yhteisessä arjessa selviytymistä. The agency of an ageing spouse with dementia This qualitative study examines how older spouses and their spouses with dementia describe the agency of a spouse with dementia in the relationship. Four themes were formed from the data. The caregiver spouses’ descriptions of the agency of a spouse with dementia differed from those of the spouse with dementia. From the perspective of a spousal carer, the agency of a person with dementia was described as hustling and bustling, but from the perspective of a spouse with dementia, behind the activity was the worry about doing housework. When a person with dementia found him/herself unable to do something anymore, he/she gave it up or his/her interest waned, while the spousal carer described it as inability to take initiative to act. In social situations shared by the couple, the spouse with dementia was, depending on the situation and the person, either an active actor or active observer without participating in the discussions. A spouse with dementia forced the spousal carer to partially relinquish his/her own agency and to act on the terms of the spouse with dementia and to be always present. Persons with dementia are not just passive targets. Their agency is active in interacting with other people on their own terms, depending on the situation. They actively share their agency with their spouse in situations where it is possible, even if it is not reciprocal from the point of view of the spousal caregiver.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the prevalence of work spouses, scarce empirical research has focused on the communication occurring within these relationships, leaving managers with little understanding as to whether organizations can or should communicate support for employees forming these relationships and how privacy is navigated among work spouses. Building on McBride and Bergen’s conceptualization of the work-spouse relationship, we used Communication Privacy Management theory (CPM) to understand what, if any, privacy rule decision criteria individuals used as they negotiated disclosures within their work-spouse relationships. Analysis of interviews with 41 people in work-spouse relationships suggests that participants recognized both their own core privacy rule decision criteria and when these criteria were similar to or different from the criteria influencing their work spouse’s. Furthermore, work-spouse relationships formed despite organizational efforts to keep them at bay. Theoretically, the findings add to CPM theory, such that they establish the need to examine catalyst criteria as current and previous, as well as argue for the addition of confirming criteria to account for situations in which catalysts reinforce routinized privacy rules. Overall, the findings from this study advance the literature on communication in the work-spouse relationship and CPM theory and highlight the role that workplaces play in fostering these types of relationships.

Full textAbstract:
With the registration of the marriage certificate, the spouses are mutually and jointly obligated to provide each other with material maintenance and moral support, both during the marriage and after its dissolution. When establishing the payment of alimony from the spouses, both the period of cohabitation of the spouses that gives the right to maintenance and after the dissolution of the marriage will be taken into consideration. The role of the court is essential, manifested through the meticulous examination of all the factual and legal circumstances that influence good faith in the right to receive maintenance from a spouse or former spouse. When determining the right that gives rise to the maintenance obligation, the court will assess the evidence submitted in the case, taking into account the principle of good faith or its absence. The court may dismiss the application if it considers that the spouse requesting the maintenance obligation has acted contrary to good faith.

Full textAbstract:
Being the spouse of a patient in a nursing home may be a conflicting experience. This article uses life-history interviews and the understanding of Bourdieu to understand and explain the phenomena. The data consist of five life-story interviews with two women and two men. The article looks at love and marriage structures during the lifetime of the agents. We also look at the development of the nursing home from a historical perspective. The research is based on Bourdieu’s theory with the purpose of understanding and explaining the experiences of the spouse: ‘Why is the experience of having a spouse in a nursing home often conflicting?’ The ambition of praxeological optics is to objectify subjectivist and objectivist factors. The understanding is constructed as a habitus based on the trilogy of Bourdieu. In order to endure and cope with the challenges, spouses need to be strong. According to our analysis lived life expressed in attitudes and actions in marriage and at the nursing home are closely linked. ‘For better or worse, in sickness and health’, is a key element in these relations. Staff need to focus more on spouses in order to avoid conflicts both between staff and spouse and between the spouses themselves.

Full textAbstract:
The effects of household composition on the employment of female immigrants from the Dominican Republic residing in New York City and women residing in the Dominican Republic are examined. The analysis indicates that context is more important than group culture in explaining the labor force participation of Dominican women. Dominican women residing in New York with children and no spouse present are less likely to be employed than are either women who have spouses or who have neither spouses nor children – the same pattern exists for women of another important Hispanic immigrant group in New York: Colombians. The reverse pattern holds in the Dominican Republic, where women living in households with spouse present are least likely to be employed. The presence of adult men other than the spouse in the household has effects consistent with those for spouse in both contexts – increasing women's odds of being employed in New York but decreasing them in the Dominican Republic. Structural factors in the Dominican Republic and New York City contexts that might account for the differing dynamics are discussed.

The present study investigated the reactions of others to the surviving spouse of an individual who commits suicide. A group of 120 adult citizens responded to a typeset obituary notice that described the cause of death as either suicide, motor vehicle accident, or leukemia. Results indicated that the surviving spouse of a suicide was perceived differently in several ways. Compared to those spouses of accident and leukemia victims, the spouse of a suicide was viewed as being more to blame for the death, as having had a greater chance of preventing the death, and as being more ashamed of the death. Survivors of spouses whose deaths resulted from suicide face a stressful event that may be made even more difficult by the perceptions others may have of them.

Full textAbstract:
The present study examined the relationship between couple concordance of catastrophizing and adverse pain outcomes. Possible mechanisms underlying the relationship between couple concordance of catastrophizing and pain outcomes were also explored. Fifty-eight couples were recruited for the study. The chronic pain patients were filmed while lifting a series of weighted canisters. The spouse was later invited to view the video and answer questions about the pain experience of their partner. Median splits on Pain Catastrophizing Scale scores were used to create four ‘catastrophizing concordance’ groups: low catastrophizing patient-low catastrophizing spouse; low catastrophizing patient-high catastrophizing spouse; high catastrophizing patient-low catastrophizing spouse; and high catastrophizing patient-high catastrophizing spouse. Analyses revealed that high catastrophizing pain patients who were in a relationship with a low catastrophizing spouse displayed more pain behaviours than patients in all other groups. These findings suggest that high catastrophizing chronic pain patients may need to increase the ‘volume’ of pain communication to compensate for low catastrophizing spouses’ tendency to underestimate the severity of their pain experience. Patients’ perceived solicitousness and punitive response from the spouse could not explain the group differences in pain behaviour. Theoretical and clinical implications of the findings are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The bankruptcy estate of the debtor spouse is all property belonging to him both on the basis ofindividual and joint ownership, including unfulfilled property obligations. The composition of the propertyof spouses is determined by the rules of family law, taking into account the legal regulation of certain typesof property, which requires special attention when forming the bankruptcy estate of the debtor spouse. Thebankruptcy estate may include the property of a citizen, making up his share in the total property, which maybe levied in accordance with civil law, family law. Family relations are built on the principle of community,which affects the implementation of bankruptcy law. To foreclose on the share of the debtor spouse, it isnecessary to separate the share of the debtor spouse from the common property, while the bankruptcy lawallows the sale of common property with the subsequent payment of funds to the debtor’s spouse.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Managing type 1 diabetes involves coordinating complex daily behaviors that benefit from higher cognitive function. One’s spouse’s cognitive function may also be beneficial as spouses may collaborate in daily adherence behaviors and may be especially beneficial for older adults who may be experiencing poorer cognitive function. We examined: 1) whether one’s own and one’s spouse’s cognitive function predicted lower (better) HbA1c, 2) whether collaborating with a more cognitively capable spouse was especially beneficial, and 3) whether the benefit of partners’ cognitive ability occurred through better adherence. 199 couples were recruited where one member was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for at least one year (52% females, average age 46.8 years, range 25.9-74.9, average duration of diabetes 27 years). Both patients and spouses completed the information subtest from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Addition as a measure of general intelligence. Patients rated the collaborative involvement of their spouse in their diabetes and their adherence to their medical regimen. Multiple regressions revealed that spouse’ higher intelligence uniquely and solely predicted better HbA1c over patient’s intelligence. Collaborating with a spouse of lower intelligence was associated with higher HbA1c for older adults; collaborating with a spouse of higher intelligence was associated with somewhat lower HbA1c. Mediational analyses indicated that spouse’s intelligence was associated with higher HbA1c through better adherence behaviors. The results suggest that individuals with type 1 diabetes who have a spouse of lower cognitive function may benefit from support from others in their network to manage their diabetes.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines how gender and the occupation of one's spouse may explain differences in the amounts and types of spousal support individuals receive when coping with the stress of their job. We analyze survey data from a sample of married lawyers, some of whom are married to other lawyers and others who have spouses who are not lawyers. The results show that men receive more emotional support from their spouse than women, regardless of their spouse's occupation. In contrast, lawyers receive more informational support from their spouse if they are also a lawyer, regardless of their gender. These fi ndings suggest that wives provide more understanding and empathy to their spouses than husbands, consistent with the literature on gender diff erences in social support. Our fi ndings also suggest that when it comes to providing informational support in terms of sharing advice, suggestions, solutions or relevant experiences in solving a work-related problem, a spouse who is in the same occupation may be better able to provide support. This is consistent with the literature demonstrating the importance of shared experiences in understanding the eff ectives of social support. Future research might explore not only the importance of shared statuses, such as occupation, but also the meaning of shared experiences in order to better understand spouses' support of one another.

RUDN Journal of Law 28, no. 1 (2024): 145–62. http://dx.doi.org/10.22363/2313-2337-2024-28-1-145-162.
Full textAbstract:
The authors analyze the legal regime of a share in the authorized capital of a limited liability company acquired during marriage, as well as the legal fate of this share in the event of death of one of the spouses. Acquisition of a share is basic for acquisition of corporate rights to participate in the company. Since the legal regime of joint ownership presupposes the ownership of property without determining the shares of each co-owner, regardless of which spouse is registered in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, both spouses are members of the company and considered as one subject (legal relationship with multiple persons). Any of the co-owners has the right to act in exercising general corporate rights as an authorized person, forming a single will. Increments received from owning shares (income) go into the common property. After the death of a spouse, the common joint property is transformed into the individual property of the surviving spouse, who receives ½ of the common property of the spouses. The second half of the common property is considered to belong to the deceased spouse, and therefore is included in the inheritance mass and undergoes through the procedure of hereditary succession. The transformation of common joint property into the individual property of the surviving spouse is not a transfer, since in this case there is no termination of the surviving spouse’s property rights. The rules governing the transfer of a share in the authorized capital of the company to third parties are not applicable to such transformation. A share in the authorized capital is an indivisible property, and therefore the legal fate of the share is the same.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: the article is devoted to such aspects of marital property’ division as the division of business assets and liabilities. Attention is drawn to the fact that since the introduction of the Family Code of the Russian Federation, the structure of the economic basis of an average Russian family has changed significantly. It is concluded that when dividing, a large block of shares should be recognized as an indivisible thing and transferred to the spouse who was doing the business of the company. It is emphasized that doing business as an individual entrepreneur by one of the spouses is rather risky. The impossibility of sectioning an account on a social network is indicated, as well as the difficulties with the division of cryptocurrency. Attention is drawn to the absence in the legislation of the presumption of the community of spouses’ debts. It’s criticized that the financial manager, in accordance with the rules of the special law “On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)”, includes in the bankruptcy estate all the common property of both spouses (former spouses), sells this property, and only after satisfying the requirements of creditors within the share of the debtor spouse, if any funds remain, these funds are issued to the debtor's spouse. The recognition of tax liabilities as common obligations of spouses is debated.

Full textAbstract:
Background Many people from Burma have migrated to Dehong prefecture and married local residents during the past decades; however, little is known about HIV risk-taking behaviours and HIV prevalence among these mixed couples. We investigated factors correlated with HIV discordance and concordance within Chinese–Burmese mixed couples in Dehong prefecture, Yunnan province, China. Methods: A cross-sectional study with face-to-face questionnaire interviews and HIV blood testing was conducted. Results: Of 5742 couples, 1.6% couples were HIV-infected concordant, 2.2% were HIV serodiscordant with an HIV-infected male spouse and 0.9% were HIV serodiscordant with an HIV-infected female spouse. HIV discordance with an HIV-infected male spouse was significantly associated with characteristics of the male spouse, including being aged ≥30 years, non-Han ethnic minority, a marital relationship of <3 years, commercial sex and injection drug use by the male spouse. HIV discordance with an HIV-infected female spouse was significantly associated with an education level of primary school (v. illiterate); a marital status of being in their second marriage, widowed or divorced; a history of sexually transmissible infection diagnosis of the female spouse; noncommercial extramarital sex by the female spouse or by both spouses; and injection drug use by the male spouse. A marital relationship of ≥3 years was the only significant independent correlate of HIV-infected seroconcordance. Conclusions: The study findings underscore the importance of premarital HIV counselling and testing for this population, and the need for targeted interventions among HIV serodiscordant mixed couples to reduce secondary transmission as early as possible when the relationship begins.

Section 18(b) of the Matrimonial Property Act 88 of 1984 allows for non-patrimonial damages to be claimed by a spouse married in community of property against his/her spouse. In Van der Merwe v Road Accident Fund 2006 4 SA 230 (CC) the court extended this exception to the notional purity of community of property to include patrimonial damages on the basis that section 18(b) discriminated unfairly against spouses married in community of property vis-à-vis spouses married out of community. The implications of this decision on commercial intercourse are discussed in this contribution against the background of prior decisions relating to the insolvency of spouses married in community of property.

The current study examines marital satisfaction from the perspective of a well spouse who is responsible for caregiving a spouse with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Forty spouses of individuals with MS completed questionnaires. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine the relationship of love, satisfaction with physical intimacy, communication, and caregiver burden to marital satisfaction. Results indicated that love and communication were significantly positively related to marital satisfaction, and caregiver burden was significantly negatively related to marital satisfaction. Satisfaction with physical intimacy was not significantly related to marital satisfaction with this sample of caregiver spouses. Implications for counselors were discussed.

The off-farm labor participation and supply decisions of Massachusetts farm families were estimated in a model which allows for joint decisions. The hypothesis of joint off-farm participation decisions by operators and spouses was rejected. However, there was some evidence that the hours supplied by the farm operator was dependent upon the decision by the spouse to work off-farm. Farm operators were found to respond to both family and farm characteristics in making participation and supply decisions. Spouses respond to the characteristics of the farm and family in participation decisions while family characteristics determined hours worked by the spouse.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction
 With increasing life expectancy globally, hearing loss has become a major issue of concern. In addition to the negative implications on the people with hearing loss, it is also found to have a significant negative impact on the communication partners especially the spouse. Understanding the impact of hearing loss on their partners can aid us in addressing these issues during rehabilitation.
 Materials and Methods
 A cross sectional study was conducted among 60 people who presented with hearing loss and were living with their spouse. The hearing loss was assessed using pure tone audiometry. The third party disability among the spouses was assessed by using HII-SOP questionnaire. The disability scores were calculated and correlated with the severity of hearing loss using chi square test.
 Results
 The hearing loss was associated with some degree of third party disability (58.3%). The degree and duration of hearing loss did not correlate with the degree of third party disability. Female significant others had more difficulty than the male significant others. However, increasing age of the spouse, longer duration of married life and presence of chronic illness in the spouse were associated with more third party disability.
 Conclusion
 Hearing loss causes third party disability among spouses. In addition to treating hearing loss, the health care professionals should involve the spouses in treatment and rehabilitation. This highlights the need for family centred policies in treatment of hearing loss.

This investigation evaluated the attitudes of individuals towards their aphasic spouse. Using modified Q-methodology, 15 spouses of fluent aphasic patients, 15 spouses of nonfluent aphasic patients, and 30 matched controls completed a 70-item Q-sort. The spouses of nonfluent aphasic patients had a significantly greater number of negative attitudes toward their spouses than the spouses of fluent aphasic patients. The spouses of patients in both aphasia groups had a significantly greater number of negative attitudes toward their spouses than the matched controls. The most common attitudes of spouses of patients in both aphasic groups divided into six factors: compliance, desirability, egocentricity, independence, maturity, and sociability.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of attitude to the appearance of the spouse, depending on the satisfaction with marriage and interpersonal communication in a married couple. The question of which psychological parameters of the marital relationship are the most important in the process of constructing a visual image of a partner remains open today. At the same time, there are studies indicating that relationships within a married couple can have a significant impact on how the spouses perceive the appearance of each other. The presented study suggests that the attitude to the appearance of the spouse in a married couples significantly differs depending on the specifics of interpersonal communication and the degree of satisfaction with marriage. The study found that the spouses are satisfied and dissatisfied with marriage, having different indicators of understanding, trustful communication, similarities of views, and ease of communication, point out different attitudes to the appearance of their spouse and different satisfaction with them.

Full textAbstract:
Although main pancreatic duct dilatation and pancreatic cysts are risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer, limited data exist regarding these findings in relatives and spouses of pancreatic cancer patients. The frequency of these findings was examined using long-term follow-up data and transabdominal ultrasonography focusing on the pancreas. We prospectively enrolled 184 relatives and spouses of pancreatic cancer patients and performed special pancreatic ultrasonography to detect main pancreatic duct dilatation and pancreatic cysts. First-degree relatives (148 participants) of patients with pancreatic cancer were significantly younger than the spouses (36 participants; 41 vs. 65 years old). The frequency of ultrasonographic findings was significantly different between the relative (8.8%) and spouse (33.3%) groups. Main pancreatic duct dilatation and pancreatic cysts were observed in seven (4.7%) and seven (4.7%) participants in the relative group, and in nine (25.0%) and five (13.9%) participants in the spouse group, respectively. On multivariate analysis, age was an independent risk factor for the ultrasonographic findings. The frequency of ultrasonographic findings was significantly higher in spouses than in first-degree relatives of patients with pancreatic cancer and was strongly influenced by the age gap between the groups. Main pancreatic duct dilatation was frequently observed, especially in the spouse group.

Full textAbstract:
Upon divorce, the economic disparities between the spouses are usually disputed where the non-acquiring spouse is left with little or no matrimonial property. This article discusses the application of the enhanced earning capacity principle as practiced in New Zealand in order to examine possible adoption in Malaysia. Analysis of New Zealand’s judicial decisions is made in order to identify approaches in determining future assets as matrimonial property to compensate for the economic disparity between spouses. The article proceeds to consider applications of those principles by the Malaysian courts under Section 76 of Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976. Considering this issue, it is found that the enabling statute is New Zealand’s Property (Relationships) Amendment Act 2001 recognizes that upon divorce, the enhanced earnings acquired during the marriage are subject to a division on the basis that the other spouse has also directly or indirectly contributed to compensate the economic disparity suffered by the referred spouse. The case law analysis is conducted on selected cases merely to justify on the enhanced earning capacity distributed as matrimonial property in New Zealand. Undoubtedly, the claim on enhanced earning capacity as the matrimonial property will compensate the spouse if his or her living standards and income become significantly lesser than the other party due to divorce.

Full textAbstract:
Stress process theory is applied to examine lack of supplemental private health insurance as a risk factor for depressive symptomatology among older married couples covered by Medicare. Dyadic data from 130 African-American couples and 1,429 White couples in the 1993 Asset and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest-Old Survey were analyzed using hierarchical generalized linear modeling. Lack of supplemental insurance is operationalized at the household level in terms of neither spouse covered, one spouse covered, or both spouses covered. Controlling for covariates at both individual and couple levels, supplemental insurance has significant impact on depression, but the pattern differs by race. White couples report the highest depression when neither spouse is covered by private health insurance; African-American couples report the highest depression when only one spouse is covered. Results suggest lack of supplemental private health insurance coverage is a stressor that significantly affects depressive symptoms.

Using data from the Millennium Cohort Family Study, we examined whether military stress experiences negatively impact marital quality through the mediation of work–family conflict. Spouse gender and dual-military status were included as moderators. Spouses reported on marital quality, work–family conflict, military stress experiences, and personal military experience. Spouse and service member demographics were also included. Results demonstrated that experiencing more military stress experiences was related to lower marital quality, which was mediated by work–family conflict. Additionally, female dual spouses reported lower marital quality than male dual spouses and civilian spouses. Findings from this study highlight the importance of providing support to military spouses for stressful military events and potentially tailoring support services for female dual spouses to improve marital quality.

Full textAbstract:
In the scientific article, the author conducted a scientific study of the comparative legal and applied features of the implementation of the right of brides, spouses and ex-spouses to choose a surname. Based on the conducted research, the author came to the conclusion that the right to choose a surname can be understood in three meanings - as the right of brides, spouses (as "the right to change the surname”) and former spouses. Persons who have the right to choose a surname are: spouses, i.e. a woman and a man who have submitted an application to the state registration body of civil status acts, but have not yet married; a spouse, i.e. a woman and a man who are together in a registered marriage (however, provided that they changed their last name upon marriage); former spouse, that is, a woman and a man who were in a registered marriage that has already been dissolved (similarly, provided that the surname of the former spouse was changed at the time of marriage). The family legislation of Ukraine provides, first of all, a non-judicial procedure for the exercise of the right to choose a surname - it is implemented through the acceptance of a corresponding application for state registration of marriage or an application of a spouse or exspouse to change the surname; judicial procedure is envisaged only in cases of exercising the right of former spouses in the context of resolving a dispute about the dissolution of their marriage. Given the ambiguity of judicial practice in the scientific literature, it is suggested that a person who changed his surname in connection with the registration of a marriage, after the dissolution of the marriage, continue to be called by this surname or to restore his maiden surname, if the corresponding request was made during the filing of the lawsuit for dissolution of marriage. The right to choose a surname according to the legislation of EU countries can be exercised both during the state registration of marriage and during marriage or its dissolution. At the same time, German legislation also determines the procedure for using the married surname for widowed spouses. Hungarian legislation separately defines the procedure for exercising the right to choose a surname by a woman and separately by a man, and also allows the prohibition of the use of a married surname by former spouses, if he was sentenced to imprisonment for an intentional crime, provided that the other former spouse objects to this.

The article is devoted to the issue of the evaluation category of Ukrainian legislation - “extremely unfavorable financial situation”, enshrined in the fourth part of Article 93 of the Family Code of Ukraine, as a basis for declaring a marriage contract invalid in court. The positions of domestic and foreign scholars on the criteria for classifying the position of one of the parties to a marriage contract to an extremely unfavorable financial position are considered. The attempts of legislators to enshrine in the Family Code of Ukraine specific features of extremely unfavorable financial situation under the marriage contract and provided a legal assessment.The practice of the Civil Court of Cassation of the Supreme Court in cases of recognizing a marriage contract as fully or partially invalid due to the extremely unfavorable financial situation of one of the spouses, in particular: 1) in connection with the transfer of all property to one of the spouses (acquired before marriage to another spouse, acquired in marriage, after divorce); 2) in connection with the personal contributions of one of the spouses to the property jointly owned by the spouses or the personal private property of the other spouse (recognition of the per-sonal property of one of the spouses as invested in the construction of a joint house; payment for an apartment by one of the spouses and his relatives, most of which belongs to the other spouse).Based on scientific doctrine, legislative initiatives and case law, it is generalized that there are three main criteria for recognizing an extremely disadvantageous financial situation: an imbalance in the division of marital property; encroachment on the income of one of the spouses to the other spouse; burdensome maintenance of relatives of one of the spouses to the other spouse.It is concluded that it is inexpedient to specify the grounds for recognizing the extraordinary disadvantage of one of the parties to the marriage contract at the level of law. Instead, it is proposed to improve the general provisions on the rights and obligations of spouses, listed in the Family Code of Ukraine, as those that are decisive for the court’s assessment of the position of the parties to the marriage contract.

Background/Aims: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) can disseminate between couples. The present study compared the findings of gastric cancer screening between seronegative subjects according to the presence of an infected spouse.Materials and Methods: Follow-up data of seronegative subjects were analyzed among married couples who underwent gastric cancer screening via gastroscopy, serum pepsinogen, and anti-H. pylori IgG assays between January 2010 and May 2016. New detection rates of H. pylori infection and gastric neoplasm at the follow-up screening were compared between seronegative subjects according to the H. pylori-infected status of spouse.Results: Among 246 seronegative subjects with an H. pylori-infected spouse, 92 underwent follow-up tests (case group). Among 278 seronegative subjects with seronegative spouse, 94 underwent follow-up tests (control group). The past infection rate was higher in the case group than in the control group (52/92 vs. 34/94; P=0.005). New H. pylori infection was diagnosed in three of the 92 cases and two of the 94 controls (3.2% vs. 2.1%; P=0.681). During the mean follow-up of 67.9±36.0 months, three adenocarcinomas and two adenomas (5/184) were newly detected among the cases and their spouses, whereas none (0/188) were detected among the controls and their spouses (2.7% vs. 0%; P=0.029).Conclusions: Gastric neoplasm occurred more frequently in couples with an H. pylori-infected spouse. Because the past infection rate is higher among seronegative subjects with an infected spouse, gastric cancer screening is recommended in both partners when the spouse is infected.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Self-care of patients with chronic illness involves various caregiver types like spouses, adult children, and other relatives or friends. Several studies have reported differences in self-care and quality of life (QOL) according to caregiver type in patients with chronic illness. Nevertheless, there are few studies comparing the difference by caregiver type in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). This is a cross-sectional study to explore differences in self-care and QOL between spouse and adult child caregivers of patients with PD. Participants were recruited from two neurology outpatient departments of the tertiary hospitals in Korea. They reported self-care and QOL using a structured questionnaire. A total of 111 paired of PD patients and caregivers including 83 of spouse and 28 of adult child were analyzed using SPSS 26.0. Spouse caregivers reported higher in domains for self-care of efficacy and monitoring in both patients (p=0.014 to 0.054) and caregivers (p=0.026 to 0.002) compared with adult child caregivers. Patients with spouse caregivers showed better QOL of parkinson symptoms(p=0.008), and emotional function(p=0.003) with the exception of social functioning (p=0.31). Social functioning contained the questionnaire like hobby, vacation, or sexuality. This study finding showed that patients whose caregivers are spouses had better in both self-care and QOL domain than patients whose caregivers are adult children. These differences between spouse caregivers and adult child caregivers can suggest the needs of tailored care strategy for patients with PD according to caregiver type.
