Additionally, much of this research relies on quantitative methods that offer less opportunity for in\u2010depth exploration.

They find it easier to provide support if they have been involved in the decision\u2010making process before surgery and viewed it as a \u2018tandem\u2019 journey. These findings underscore the need to include partners pre\u2010 and post\u2010MBS and for psychoeducational interventions to help partners navigate the stresses that MBS can place on their relationship.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/bjhp.70080","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,30]],"date-time":"2026-05-30T09:53:21Z","timestamp":1780134801000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["\u2018Go into it with your eyes open\u2019: A reflexive thematic analysis of the experiences of partners of individuals who have had metabolic and bariatric surgery"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6700-3535","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sophia","family":"Quirke\u2010McFarlane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology University of Surrey  Surrey UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4271-5621","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jane","family":"Ogden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology University of Surrey  Surrey UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/2327-6924.12372"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1381\/096089297765555449"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464-021-08329-w"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1381\/096089202320995556"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0010-440X(66)80065-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41366-021-00825-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1478088706qp063oa"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-319-69909-7_3470-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamasurg.2018.0215"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","first-page":"120","article-title":"Teaching thematic analysis: Overcoming challenges and developing strategies for effective learning","volume":"26","author":"Clarke V.","year":"2013","journal-title":"Psychologist"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40519-019-00671-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/fmch-2018-000057"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/160940690900800105"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11695-020-05041-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11695-015-1893-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_17_1","volume-title":"Research Interviewing: The Range of Techniques: A Practical Guide","author":"Gillham B.","year":"2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/16094069221105075"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1381\/096089203321136683"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1381\/096089201321209323"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11695-016-2228-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-789X.2010.00720.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732315617444"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jmft.12155"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13679\u2010023\u201000504\u20105"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cob.12339"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_27_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732315570132"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_28_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11695-015-1720-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_29_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjhp.12733"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_30_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/13591053241305946"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_31_1","volume-title":"Qualitative Interviewing: The Art of Hearing Data","author":"Rubin H.
