ABSTRACT The communication theory of resilience describes five communication processes that serve to promote resilience. This research examines predictors and outcomes of the five resilience processes. This study examines pathways between communication efficacy and relational quality to dyadic communicative resilience processes and from these processes to outcomes of health management and evaluations of dyadic coping. Participants (N = 584) include cancer patients (n = 312) and partners of cancer patients (n = 272). Structural equation analyses revealed that for both patients and partners, increased communication efficacy positively predicts the majority of the communication resilience processes and increased relational quality positively predicts all processes. Although many of the resilience processes are positively associated with increased health management and evaluations of dyadic coping, one process was negatively associated with both study outcomes. Implications, limitations, and future directions are discussed.

沟通抵御能力：癌症患者和癌症伙伴之间二元沟通抵御能力过程的预测因素和结果

摘要弹性传播理论描述了五个可促进弹性的传播过程。这项研究检查了五个弹性过程的预测因素和结果。这项研究探讨了沟通效能和关系质量之间的关系，以及二元沟通适应力过程，以及从这些过程到健康管理结果以及二元应对能力评估的途径。参与者（N = 584）包括癌症患者（n = 312）和癌症患者的伴侣（n = 272）。结构方程分析显示，对于患者和伴侣而言，沟通效率的提高可以肯定地预测大部分的沟通适应过程，而关系质量的提高可以肯定地预测所有过程。尽管许多恢复过程与加强健康管理和对二重应对的评估呈正相关，但其中一个过程与两项研究结果均呈负相关。讨论了含义，局限性和未来的方向。
