Maria G. Checton’s findings indicate that a patient and their partner mutually influence each other in the management of [[Chronic condition|chronic illness]], and that communication and [[Sympathy|emotional support]] are vital components of successful management. Furthermore, participants identified the need for [[Health professional|medical professionals]] to acknowledge the partner's role and provide support to both the patient and their partner. This highlights the importance of integrating the patient and their partner in the management of chronic illness, which is what problematic integration theory aims to do.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Checton |first=Maria G. |title=Patients' and partners' perspectives of chronic illness and its management. |url=https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fa0028598 |journal=American Psychological Association |volume=30 |issue=2 |pages=114-129}}</ref>
Jennifer E. Ohs uses Problematic integration theory to understand how [[Family|family members]] come to a shared understanding of an [[End-of-life care|end-of-life decision]], how they experience challenges in the process, and how they respond to those challenges. Communication, [[negotiation]], and [[understanding]] between family members may require outside help such as professional counseling or spiritual guidance to facilitate the process. Successful integration of perspectives is essential for families to reach a decision about end-of-life care.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ohs |first=Jennifer E. |title=Problematic Integration and Family Communication about Decisions at the End of Life |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15267431.2017.1348947 |journal=Journal of Family Communication |volume=17 |issue=4 |pages=356-371 |via=Taylor & Francis Online}}</ref>
