Accumulating research suggests that the working alliance (WA) is a key component in the patient–oncologist relationship. Attachment theory provides a useful framework for understanding this alliance within the oncological setting, where patients' attachment systems are often activated. This study examined the association between attachment orientations of both dyad members (i.e., patient and oncologist) and patients' WA experience. It also probed whether this link was mediated by patients' attachment-related attitudes towards the oncologist, using a recently developed measure.

患者与肿瘤学家关系中的工作联盟和依恋取向

越来越多的研究表明，工作联盟 (WA) 是患者与肿瘤学家关系的关键组成部分。依恋理论为在肿瘤学环境中理解这种联盟提供了一个有用的框架，在这种环境中，患者的依恋系统经常被激活。这项研究检查了两个成对成员（即患者和肿瘤学家）的依恋取向与患者的 WA 经历之间的关联。它还使用最近开发的措施探讨了这种联系是否是由患者对肿瘤学家的依恋相关态度所介导的。
