Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relationships between the following: 1) support networks and the noncancerous spouse's perceived state of health, 2) marital satisfaction and the noncancerous spouse's perceived state of health, 3) the incidence of stressor events and the noncancerous spouse's perceived state of health, and 4) the combined effects of the first three variables on the noncancerous spouse's perceived state of health. It was hypothesized that support networks and marital satisfaction would correlate positively with perceived state of health; that stressor events would correlate negatively with perceived state of health; and that together, the independent variables would explain a significant amount of the variance in the dependent variable. The subjects were 49 men and women each of whom was married to a spouse who had carried a pathological diagnosis of cancer for at least six months.
