BackgroundAcquired neurological diseases entail significant changes and influence the relationship between a patient and their significant other. In the context of long-term rehabilitation, those affected collaborate with health care professionals who are expected to have a positive impact on the lives of the affected individuals.
ObjectiveThis study aims to examine the changes in the relationship between the patient and their loved ones due to acquired neurological disorders and the influence of health care professionals on this relationship.
MethodsThrough sociogenetic type building, we will identify different types of patient-caregiver dyads and their effects on health care professionals and vice versa. The results will then be integrated into a model based on the theory of symbolic interactionism and Baxter’s Relational Dialectics Theory.
ResultsThis study is not funded and was approved by the ethics committee of the German Society for Nursing Science, and it complies with the Declaration of Helsinki. The data collection started in June 2024 based on narrative couple interviews and is running. We assume that patients and their relatives will demonstrate heterogeneity as individuals, as well as in their interactions within the dyad, regarding certain orientations such as coping with illness, motivation for therapy, and coping strategies.
ConclusionsOur findings address a biopsychosocial perspective that enhances treatment approaches in neurological long-term care. Understanding the influence of professionals on dyadic couple relationships can improve rehabilitation effectiveness by tailoring therapeutic approaches to various patient types, relatives, and dyadic relationship constellations. This fosters patient- and family-centered therapy in line with holistic care.
