“…In fact, when an external and shared stressor, like the COVID-19, outbreaks, relying on the partner and on couple skills becomes essential. Moreover, social support could be considered as a crucial protective factor, especially during the COVID-19 epidemic, as previous studies reported that the presence of a social support could help managing a stressful and traumatic event, like for example an illness (Cutrona et al, 2018).…”

The new Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The sudden outbreak of this new virus and the measure of lockdown adopted to contain the epidemic have profoundly changed the lifestyles of the Italian population, with an impact on people’s quality of life and on their social relationships. In particular, due to forced and prolonged cohabitation, couples may be subject to specific stressors during the epidemic. In addition, living with a chronic health condition may add specific challenges to the ones posed by the epidemic itself. The present cross-sectional study aimed to provide a picture of the challenges as well as the resources for both individual and relational well-being of Italian individuals in a couple relationship (N = 1921), with a specific attention to the comparison between individuals living with and without a chronic disease. Results showed that people with a chronic disease had lower psychological well-being and more fears and worries about the COVID-19. People with a chronic disease perceived fewer resources than healthy people. Moreover, the challenges are shown to be associated with less psychological well-being and high pessimism about the future. Instead individual, relational, and social resources play a protective role during the pandemic for both healthy and chronically ill people.

“…As dyadic coping requires both partners to be concerned with each other's well-being, it cannot be seen as a oneway flow of support provision, in which a provider and a recipient of assistance can be clearly identified. Dyadic coping research, however, is highly interconnected with partner support research to the point that scholars from the two traditions have recently called for an integration of the social support and dyadic coping approaches to stress in couples (Cutrona et al 2018).…”

The term partner support traditionally refers to the process of responding with helping acts (behavioral as well as psychological) to a difficulty or problem of one's partner in a couple relationship. More recently, this definition was extended as to include responses apt to sustain the partner when facing positive events and life opportunities as well. Description Historically, from the interest for general social support, researchers have recognized the relevant role of the specific relationships on the effects produced by social support.

“…Este hallazgo sustenta el efecto que puede tener el estilo positivo en el bienestar psicológico de la pareja, al afrontar las situaciones conflictivas (Falconier y Kuhn, 2019). Estos resultados denotan una fortaleza en los participantes que utilizan estilos de comunicación positivos, ya que al emplearlos se puede incrementar la cohesión y los lazos emocionales sobre los que se sostiene la díada (Cutrona et al, 2018). Además, demuestran que este tipo de personas tienen una postura saludable cuando tienen que lidiar con los conflictos, por lo que desarrollan estrategias para poder manejarlos y mantener la relación estable.…”

“…Por ello cabe preguntarse a qué responde que las personas ante el estrés no asuman un estilo positivo de comunicación. Con respecto a lo anterior, es fundamental reconocer la importancia del contenido de la comunicación frente al estilo, el estrés y el afrontamiento diádico (Bodenmann, 2005;Cutrona et al, 2018;Nina, 2016;Sánchez-Aragón y Díaz-Loving, 2003;Sánchez y Watty, 2017).…”

“…Para Cutrona et al (2018), una de las situaciones más estresantes que vive la pareja es hablar sobre situaciones laborales, debido al efecto desbordamiento (spillover), o traspaso de estrés, que produce una interacción negativa entre los integrantes de la relación. Al estar estresada la pareja, o uno de sus integrantes, se reproducen conductas hostiles o agresivas, particularmente si los integrantes no presentan estilos de comunicación que faciliten la apertura y la solución de conflictos.…”
