Note. PCI = Prostate Cancer Index. All variables assessed at T1. Partial correlations control for the corresponding QOL variable in survivors (e.g., survivors’ depression) when assessing the association between the partners’ QOL and survivors’ prostate specific functioning (e.g. partner depression–survivor urinary functioning).
