Examining engagement in a self-in-relationship observation exercise by couples coping with breast cancer: A qualitative analysis of text-based feedback.

Young women with breast cancer (BC) and their partners generally face greater psychosocial difficulties relative to older couples, justifying the need for targeted support for this group. Toward this end, we examined how couples facing BC responded to participating in a self-in-relationship observation exercise intended to improve the relationship. Participants (N = 60) were 30 women and 30 male partners who, over the course of a week, observed and textually described/reported their "turning-towards-and-away-behaviors" deemed to contribute to relationship closeness/distance.
