Background: The purpose of this study was to explore the differences in illness perception between children with cancer and other chronic diseases. A secondary aim was to examine the similarities and differences between the illness perception of these children and their parents. Methods: The Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R) was used to measure the children’s and parents’ illness perceptions. In this study, 184 children (ages 8–18 years) and their caregivers completed the questionnaires. Results: This study shows that children with cancer feel that they have greater control over their treatment compared to the other two groups. The children’s parents have more pessimistic views of the illness than their children. Conclusion: Examinations of illness perceptions among paediatric cancer patients and their families are essential in designing psychosocial interventions for these families. The clinical value of our results can help better understand the cancer-specific features of illness perceptions.

Abstract An individual’s understanding of their chronic illness (illness perception) is a psychological resource that has an impact on coping and self-management behaviors. Our previous study identified illness perception phenotypes (overall patterns of illness perceptions) in a sample of older adults with heart failure, COPD, and chronic kidney disease. These phenotypes were associated with perceived self-management ability (patient activation) and recent hospitalizations. To further characterize the illness perception phenotypes we focused on older adults with chronic kidney disease, analyzing illness perception data along with potential covariates from the multi-center longitudinal Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort study (CRIC). Covariates include sociodemographics, disease parameters, personality type, disease knowledge, and treatment adherence. While personality type was associated with illness perception phenotype, disease knowledge and treatment adherence were not. We have also conducted qualitative analyses of in-depth interviews. These results will inform the development of a pilot intervention incorporating illness perception information into the clinical setting.

This study aimed to identify the changes in the illness perceptions and depression of women with breast cancer, undergoing AET, at three time points (i.e., before initiating AET, 3 months follow-up, and 12 months follow-up). We investigated the interaction effects of their demographic and clinical characteristics on illness perception changes over time. Furthermore, factors including the patient’s characteristics and illness perceptions associated with depressive symptoms 1 year after starting AET were explored. Illness perception and depressive symptoms were assessed with the brief illness perception questionnaire and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, in a prospective study of 150 women. The changes in illness perceptions and depression between the three time points were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. The factors associated with depressive symptoms were identified using regression analysis. Illness perception improved overall over the 12 months. However, more patients perceived their illness as chronic, experienced more symptoms, and developed negative beliefs that treatment could not control their disease. Patients’ depressive symptoms decreased significantly. Depression at the baseline, cancer stage, and the perception of personal control were highly associated with depression after 12 months. These findings suggest that healthcare providers should offer appropriate interventions to patients, for managing symptoms, having a positive belief that treatment can control their disease, and preventing long-term depressive symptoms.

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) may be linked to the psychological status of cancer patients. Therefore, the authors aimed to better understand the underlying risk factors for CINV using the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. A total of 238 patients were recruited during three cycles of chemotherapy. Patient, disease and treatment characteristics were noted at the onset of chemotherapy. The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire was administered face-to-face prior to chemotherapy. The relationship between illness perceptions and CINV was analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation. Positive illness perception parameters, including personal and treatment control, were negatively correlated, whereas negative illness perception parameters, including consequences, timeline, identity, concern and emotions, were positively correlated with CINV after adjusting for age, sex and emetogenic potential of chemotherapy (p < 0.001). Illness perception may be an underlying risk factor for CINV.

Full textAbstract:
Background. A greater number of older adults now live with chronic illness. This poses a significant public health problem, because older adults are at high risk for chronic illness -related mortality and morbidity. Methods. In the project on older adult self care in chronic illness, we administered nine subscales (Illness Consequences, Illness Coherence, Illness Timeline—Cyclical, Personal Control, Treatment Control, Illness Representations, Illness Identity, and Causal Attributions) of the Illness Perception Questionnaire— Revised (IPQ-R). Multivariable linear regression analyses explored the associations between illness perception, wellness-focused coping, and illness-focused coping as measured by CPCI42. Results. Among the 76 respondents (39.47% women; mean age, 64.53±6.93 years), in multivariable regression models, either illness perception variables or coping strategies variables were associated with chronic illness. Higher scores on causal attributions were associated with coping strategies chosen scores. Higher scores on the causal attributions (β = 0.63), Illness Coherence (β = -0.50), illness representations(β = 0.66) and Personal Control scales(β = -0.53) were associated with several scores of coping strategies chosen by chronically ill older persons. Conclusion. Older adults with chronic illness report a high understanding of their disease, feel that chronic illness has significant illness representations consequences, and endorse both illness coherence and personal control over their coping strategies. Illness perceptions did not vary with increased age or worsening disease severity, suggesting that illness perceptions may develop during aging. The self-regulatory model may provide a useful guide for the development of effective interventions tailored to older adults.

Full textAbstract:
Cancer has all the potentials to affect nearly each aspect of a person’s life. In fact, the complex treatment procedures of the diagnosed individual itself can create distress which can have a long term damaging impact on patients’ mental health and healing progress in itself. Hence, an understanding of cancer patients’ current experiences and the way they perceive their condition could be very helpful for both patients and health professionals. In that way, the present piece of work attempt to explore the varied illness perceptions of cancer patients to know whether it explain changes in the application of different coping strategies. Self-reported illness perception and coping strategies were investigated using revised illness perception questionnaire and Coping Operation Preference Enquiry (COPE-28). The sample comprised of 80 cancer patients (40 male, 40 female). The results of multiple stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that illness perception dimensions accounted a greater percentage of the variance in the coping strategies used by the participants to manage their illness. Cure/control perception over illness, attributing internal factors to illness causation and having better understanding about the illness encourages adaptive coping strategy which might be important in improving psychological and physical health too. The potential role of varied illness perceptions in the management of cancer is discussed in the light of Leventhal’s self-regulation model (1984).

Full textAbstract:
Background: Patients do not respond to treatment in a predictable manner. Individual preconceptions determine help seeking, compliance and treatment outcome, yet clinicians rarely explore these issues. The illness perception approach sees the patient as an active participant in the healthcare process.Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the illness perceptions of people with dysphonia. The subsidiary aims were to correlate the Illness Perception Questionnaire with any psychological distress identified and a self-report measure of dysphonia, and to consider any potential implications for patient management.Design: Prospective, cross-sectional observation.Setting: Primary and secondary care, two general and four community hospitals.Participants: Fifty adult patients with dysphonia due to benign disease completed three self-administered questionnaires, which investigated their illness perceptions, psychological distress and perceptions of the impact of the presenting ‘illness’.Measures: The dysphonia was categorised as being due to functional (n=40) or organic (n=10) causes. All the voices were rated by an expert listener according to the GRBAS (grade, roughness, breathiness, aesthenia, strain) scale. Participants completed the Illness Perception Questionnaire, the Vocal Performance Questionnaire and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale.Results: Patients showed a wide variation in perception of causation. They had no strong perceptions about the causes, consequences or duration of the presenting dysphonia. Functional dysphonics reported greater consequences, lower perceived control and increased anxiety when compared to patients with organic dysphonia. In terms of cure/control, all patients expected treatment to be helpful but this expectancy reduced as time increased. Anxiety was more associated with functional dysphonia, however, only 17 per cent of the subjects in this group showed clinically significant levels of signs of psychological distress.Conclusions: Lay illness representations often diverge from the clinician's understanding of the presenting problem and strongly influence treatment behaviour. Early exploration of illness perceptions may enhance health behaviour and maximise the impact of intervention.

This study was performed with the objective of determining hopelessness and perception of illness in cancer patients. This was a descriptive and regressional study. The study was performed between January and June 2014 on 105 outpatients at the oncology clinic of Manisa Government Hospital in Turkey’s western. A patient information form, the Beck Hopelessness Scale, and the illness perception questionnaire were used to collect data, and data analysis was performed using the program Statistical Package for Social Sciences 15.0. Percentages, t test, Kruskal–Wallis, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation were used in the evaluation of research data. The hopelessness levels of cancer patients participating in the study were at a medium level. As patients’ scores on the hopelessness scale and its subscales increase, so their illness perception scores also increase. The hopelessness levels of patients whose illness perception was good were lower; that is, as patients’ hopelessness levels fell, their illness perceptions and view of their illness were affected in a positive way.

Su sveikata susijusį elgesį lemia tai, kaip asmuo pats paaiškina savo ligą. Priklausomybės nuo alkoholio suvokimo ir pripažinimo dėsningumų analizė leistų parinkti efektyvesnes profilaktikos ir psichologinės korekcijos priemones. Šio tyrimo tikslas buvo išanalizuoti priklausomų nuo alkoholio asmenų savo ligos suvokimo ir sveikatos kontrolės lokuso ypatumus bei sąsajas. Buvo tirta 70 priklausomybės ligų centre, detoksikacijos skyriuje besigydančių priklausomų nuo alkoholio asmenų. Taikytos metodikos: trumpasis ligos suvokimo klausimynas (Brief IPQ; Broadbent et al., 2006), Daugiamatė sveikatos kontrolės lokuso skalė (Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale; Wallston et al., 1978). Tyrimo metu nustatyta, kad turintiems partnerį kitų poveikio sveikatos kontrolės lokusas yra labiau išreikštas, nei neturintiems partnerio tiriamiesiems. Be to, nustatyta, kad kuo labiau išreikštas kitų poveikio sveikatos kontrolės lokusas, tuo suvokiama trumpesnė priklausomybės nuo alkoholio trukmė. Tyrimas parodė, kad kuo ilgesnė priklausomybės nuo alkoholio trukmė, tuo labiau tiriamieji pripažįsta savo ligą ir tiki, kad ji truks ilgiau, o ilgiausio abstinencijos laikotarpio trukmė teigiamai susijusi su ligos pripažinimu, ilgesnės jos trukmės ir neigiamų padarinių suvokimu. Vyrams sveikatos kontrolės lokusas yra susijęs su ligos suvokimu. Tyrimas parodė, kad priklausomiems nuo alkoholio asmenims labiau išreikštas vidinis sveikatos kontrolės lokusas, palyginti su atsitiktinumų ir kitų poveikio sveikatos kontrolės lokusu, o pripažinti, kad alkoholio vartojimas yra liga, tiriamuosius verčia neigiami alkoholio vartojimo padariniai, bet ne patiriamų simptomų stiprumas.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: priklausomi nuo alkoholio asmenys, ligos suvokimas, sveikatos kontrolės lokusas.Pecularities of illness perception and health locus of control of alcohol addictsJurgita Dirsienė, Loreta Zajančkauskaitė-Staskevičienė SummaryLeventhal’s common sense model is a popular model for studying responses to health threats. The central prediction of the model is that coping responses are determined by an interrelated set of beliefs known as illness perceptions, which appear to be directly related to patient’s receptivity to the treatment and outcomes of the illness. The examination of how individuals perceive alcohol addiction may be important in prevention and may help health-care professionals individualize treatment strategies, thereby improving illness outcomes.The goal of the research was to determine the pecularities of and correlations between illness perception and health locus of control of alcohol-addicted people.The object and methods of research: 70 individuals with the diagnosis of alcohol addiction, currently going through alcohol detoxification in an addiction centre (49 men and 21 women). They completed the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Broadbent et al., 2006) and Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC; Wallston et al., 1978).Results of the study: Illness perception and health locus of control was not related to age, sex and education. The research showed that the participants who had a spouse had a more powerful others’ health control orientation than those who hadn’t (U = 419.5; p < 0.05). The research showed a statistically significant correlation between powerful others’ health control orientation and a shorter addiction duration (r = –0.249; p < 0.05). The longer addiction duration was positively related to the illness recognition (r = 0.481; p < 0.001) and the perception of a longer illness duration (r = 0.353; p < 0.05). The longest abstinence period was positively related to a better illness recognition (r = 0.270; p < 0.05) and the perception of a longer illness duration (r = 0.457; p < 0.05) and more severe illness consequences (r = 0.323; p < 0.05).Statistical analysis showed a lot of statistically significant correlations betveen illness perception dimensions: more negative consequences and a stronger illness identity were related to more concern about the illness and more negative emotions. The perception of illness coherence and a shorter duration of the illness was related to a better perceived personal control over the illnesss. The stronger concern about the illness was related to a better treatment control perception. The better illness recognition was related to the perception of longer illness duration, less personal control over the illness and more concern about the illness. The strength of the symptoms was positively related to a better illness coherence perception.The research showed a significant correlation between illness perception and health locus of control only for men: the internal health locus of control was related to the perception of a shorter illness duration (r = –0.402; p < 0.01) and less concern about the illness (r = –0.285; p < 0.05). The powerful others’ health control orientation was related to the perception of better treatment (r = 0.341; p < = 0,05) and personal control (r = 0.332; p < 0.05), more severe symptoms of illness (r = 0.032; p < 0.05), more concern (r = 0.404; p < 0.01) and negative emotions (r = 0.310; p < 0.05). Statistical analysis showed that alcoholics had an internal health control orientation. Illness recognition was associated with negative alcohol-related consequences, but not with the strength of symptoms. The implications and limitations of the findings, the implications for practice and research are discussed. Key words: alcohol-dependent individuals, illness perception, health locus of control.

Full textAbstract:
Psychiatric disorders are among the top of the conditions that cause disability worldwide and attract one of the highest levels of stigmatization in today's society, which has a strong impact on the quality of life of patients suffering from these conditions. In Romania, mental health develops more difficult than the other medical and social sciences due not to the lack of professionals or lack of interest of the scientific community, but because it still carries the stigma of "madness". This stigma gives him a gloomy aura and over time has led to profound prejudices related to both the beneficiaries of mental health services and their specialists. Many people who need or want to call for services in the field of mental health, refuse or fear to appeal to specialists for fear of stigma and prejudice. Due to these prejudices, the society is reluctant to integrate people who have suffered from a mental illness, they are often stigmatized and rejected by others, being viewed with suspicion due in particular to the unpredictability of its potentially antisocial behaviors and actions. The reason that justifies this research is that by determining the way in which psychic patients are perceived, the interest with which the society relates to their problems is highlighted. The results obtained have a practical involvement in the sense that it demonstrates the necessity and usefulness of informing the general population about mental illness. By correct information it is envisaged to change the attitude towards the illness and the mentally ill, thus preventing their stigmatization and discrimination.

Abstract Objective: Determine illness perceptions associated most frequently with measures of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) maintenance. We measured illness perceptions using the Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ) and variants (IPQ-Revised and Brief IPQ) Design: Review of literature from publication of IPQ to September 2020. Searched for articles utilizing IPQ but no other models of illness perception and studying T2DM Main Outcome Measures: Glucose control (measured by HbA1c levels), adherence to medications, and adherence to diet, exercise, and other lifestyle recommendations Results: Symptom attribution and fear of consequences are frequently associated with worse T2DM management and sense of control of illness progression and positive emotional valence are frequently associated with better T2DM management. Other subscales have less frequent but generally positive associations with the exceptions of recurring thoughts about T2DM duration, which had a negative association with management, and understanding the causes of T2DM, which had no associations at all. Other reviews found similar associations and highlighted a need for more general T2DM education. Conclusion: Future T2DM management interventions should promote sense of control over illness progression and positive emotional valence and provide education regarding symptoms to expect. Interventions should also consider managing patient fear, which has many associations with worse management.

ObjectiveTo assess the validity and clinical utility of the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) to measure illness perceptions in multiple forms of vasculitis.MethodsPatients with giant cell arteritis (GCA), Takayasu arteritis (TA), antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitis (AAV), and relapsing polychondritis (RP) were recruited into a prospective, observational cohort. Patients independently completed the BIPQ, Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI), Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form survey (SF-36), and a patient global assessment (PtGA) at successive study visits. Physicians concurrently completed a physician global assessment (PGA) form. Illness perceptions, as assessed by the BIPQ, were compared to responses from the full-length Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R) and to other clinical outcome measures.ResultsThere were 196 patients (GCA = 47, TA = 47, RP = 56, AAV = 46) evaluated over 454 visits. Illness perception scores in each domain were comparable between the BIPQ and IPQ-R (3.28 vs 3.47, P = 0.22). Illness perceptions differed by type of vasculitis, with the highest perceived psychological burden of disease in RP. The BIPQ was significantly associated with all other patient-reported outcome measures (rho = |0.50–0.70|, P < 0.0001), but did not correlate with PGA (rho = 0.13, P = 0.13). A change in the BIPQ composite score of ≥ 7 over successive visits was associated with concomitant change in the PtGA. Change in the MFI and BIPQ scores significantly correlated over time (rho = 0.38, P = 0.0008).ConclusionThe BIPQ is an accurate and valid assessment tool to measure and monitor illness perceptions in patients with vasculitis. Use of the BIPQ as an outcome measure in clinical trials may provide complementary information to physician-based assessments.

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the psychological determinants of adherence to treatment among patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) referring to Imam Ali Hospital in Kermanshah, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 227 patients (mean age=58.10, SD = 13.44) with CVDs, randomly selected amongst those admitted to Imam Ali cardiovascular center of Kermanshah in 2018. Data were collected through Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), the Jefferson Scale of Patient’s Perceptions of Physician Empathy (JSPPPE), the Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ), and Adherence to Treatment Questionnaire. The relationships between the criterion and predictor variables were assessed using Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression (stepwise method) in IBM SPSS Statistics-23. Results: The adherence to treatment was associated with meaning in life (r=0.367), patients’ perceptions of physician empathy (r=0.218), and illness perception (r=-0.238), at the 0.01 level. Meaning in life, patient’s perceptions of physician empathy, and illness perception explained 18.6% of the variance in adherence to treatment. Meaning in life (beta=0.367 and P≤0.001) was the most influential predictor of adherence to treatment. Additionally, there was a significant difference in the score of adherence to treatment by gender (23.46±4.42 for female vs. 24.77±3.53 for male, P = 0.030). Conclusion: The patients’ perceptions of physician empathy, meaning in life, and illness perception were important factors to predict adherence to treatment in patients with CVDs. Gender was a significant predictor of the adherence to treatment.

AbstractPurposeTo examine the evolution of the perception of the stigma attached to mental illness in Germany since 1990 up to the present.Subjects and methodsPopulation surveys were conducted in the old German States (former Federal Republic of Germany) in 1990, 2001, and 2011. The perception of stigma attached to people with mental illness was assessed with the help of Link's perceived discrimination and devaluation scale.ResultsIn the 2011 survey, less mental illness stigma was perceived by respondents than in the previous surveys. In the eyes of the German public, the devaluation and rejection of people with mental illness has substantially decreased since 1990.DiscussionThe perception of a decline of the stigmatization is in contrast to the development of the German public's attitudes towards persons with mental disorders, which remained unchanged or even worsened.ConclusionPerceived and personal attitudes towards persons with mental illness have developed differently, and it remains to be seen whether perceptions of less public stigma will ultimately be followed by improved personal attitudes.

Full textAbstract:
Background Illness perception is related to management patterns and pain intensity, but among elderly with low back pain, this relation is unclear. The aims of this study were to analyse the associations between illness perception, pain intensity and health related quality of life in a group of elderly with low back pain and explore how different illness perception profiles would cluster and differ in terms of pain, quality of life and choice of management. Method This was a cross-sectional survey based on a cohort of originally 640 Danish children. Of the 311 respondents in 2019, 69% reported low back pain within last year and were included. Associations between illness perceptions (Brief illness perception questionnaire), health related quality of life (EuroQol-5 Domain-3L) and low back pain intensity were assessed, and participants were clustered based on their perceptions using hierarchical and K-means cluster analysis. Cluster differences in pain, quality of life and use of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments were explored. Results Among the 213 individuals with low back pain, 33% reported severe or fluctuating pain intensity. Higher pain intensity was associated with perceiving low back pain as a greater threat. Participants reporting fluctuating pain perceived their low back pain almost as threatening as participants reporting severe pain. Two clusters were identified. Cluster 1 reported lower quality of life (difference in medians: −0.176 (95% CI [−0.233–−0.119 ])) and was more likely to report severe or fluctuating pain (37.7% vs. 4.5% [P < 0.0001]) and to use pharmacological treatments than Cluster 2 (37.7% vs. 14.9% [P < 0.001]). No association was found between clusters concerning use of non-pharmacological treatments (P = 0.134). Conclusion Based on illness perceptions, two clusters differing in pain intensity, quality of life and use of pharmacological treatments were identified. Targeting illness perceptions may be beneficial during rehabilitation or when guiding patients with low back pain in choice of management.

Full textAbstract:
Illness perception, formed in social-cultural contexts, is the driving force for health behavior. Age difference can affect health outcomes due to its association with socioeconomic status. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between illness perception, self-care management, and clinical outcomes according to the age group in hemodialysis patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted. Using the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) and Patient Activation Measure (PAM) 13, clinical outcomes, such as serum phosphorus, potassium, hemoglobin, and albumin were investigated in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Illness perception, self-care management, and clinical outcomes in 189 hemodialysis patients were different according to age group. Younger hemodialysis patients had the lowest illness perception and the highest serum phosphorus. Illness perception was associated with self-care management and clinical outcomes. After the adjusted age, the association between illness perception and self-care management and the association between illness perception and phosphorus were reduced, while the association between illness perception and potassium increased. Uncontrolled phosphorus in younger hemodialysis patients can increase the risk of cardiovascular complications and mortality. To improve self-care management and clinical outcomes in hemodialysis patients, reconstruction, or expansion of illness perception needs to be differentiated according to age group.

Objectives Illness perception is a cognitive representation influencing physical and psychological functioning and adherence in patients with rheumatic disease. Studies exploring illness perception in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are still scarce and none of them have investigated factors determining illness perception. We aimed to assess illness perception and to identify psychological, clinical and sociodemographic factors that might influence illness perception in SLE. Methods The study involved 80 patients with SLE (87.5% women, mean age 41.56 years). The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, State Trait Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Visual Analogue Scale-Pain and Fatigue Severity Scale were used. Clinical and sociodemographic data were collected via structured interview and medical files review. Results Illness perception was significantly positively correlated with anxiety, depression, sleep quality, fatigue and pain while it was not related to age, education, steroid treatment, disease duration and activity (SLEDAI) or organ damage (SLICC/ACR). Regression analysis revealed that state anxiety and depression explained 43% of illness perception variance. Cluster analysis identified three patient groups among which the middle-aged group had the most negative illness perception, the highest levels of anxiety, depression, pain and fatigue, and the poorest sleep quality. Conclusions The study has proved a significant relationship between negative illness perception and anxiety and depression. Patients reporting fatigue, poor sleep and pain might have special needs in terms of psychological intervention focused on negative illness perception and distress symptoms. Multidisciplinary care in managing SLE seems to be of great importance.

ObjectiveIllness perception has been shown to have significant influence on the well-being and coping strategies of persons living with chronic medical conditions. Understanding of how women living with breast cancer cognitively and emotionally represent their illness and coping strategies used is likely to help in designing focused psychosocial interventions aimed at improving their health and well-being. This study explored the illness perceptions and coping strategies among women receiving care for breast cancer.DesignA qualitative phenomenological study (using semi-structured in-depth interviews).SettingOncology department of a tertiary hospital in Ghana.ParticipantsEleven women receiving breast cancer treatment were purposively sampled and in-depth individual interviews were conducted with questions based on illness perception and coping literature.ResultsIn terms of illness perceptions, it emerged that most of the participants lacked adequate factual knowledge about breast cancer and perceived causes but believed in the curability of their illness through medical treatments and the help of God. Spirituality, social support and diversion coping were the key resources for coping among the participants.ConclusionBreast cancer patients lacked adequate factual knowledge of breast cancer and their perception about the causes of breast cancer is rooted in biopsycho-spiritual model of illness. The reliance on spirituality and social support as the main coping strategies suggests the need for psychosocial interventions tailored to the spiritual and psychosocial needs of the patients.

Abstract
Background: Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is a microvascular complication in diabetes mellitus which allows it to be prevented through multidisciplinary collaboration that involves the active participation of patients, namely the application of self-care behavior. But unfortunately self-care behavior itself is still relatively low. Many studies have identified the relationship between knowledge and behavior to prevent LKD, but knowledge is not the only factor that influences this. Illness perceptions is a person's point of view that plays an important role in behavior and decision making. So, it is necessary to identify the dominant aspects of illness perceptions in DFU patients.
Objective: This study aims to identify the dominant aspects of illness perceptions on LKD patients.
Methods: This research design uses a descriptive quantitative method with data collection through a questionnaire survey.
Results: This study used 43 samples after being identified there were 2 dominant aspects of illness perception in LKD patients, namely aspects of treatment control and coherence.
Conclusion: The higher the patient's confidence in the treatment control and understanding of the disease, the better the foot care will be.
Keywords: Diabetic Foot Ulcer, Dominant aspect, illness perceptions

Introduction The aim of the study was to investigate illness perception in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to explore its relation to socio-demographic and illness/treatment-related characteristics. Material and methods 44 consecutive COPD patients answered the general questionnaire (which identified data on gender, age, education, economic status, employment, personal estimate of family relations quality) and IPQ-R (which evaluates the illness perception components). The data were statistically processed using T-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, one way anova, and correlation analysis. Results COPD patients perceived their illness predominantely negatively. The markers of negative illness perception were female gender, older age, medium economic status, being employed, and high number of hospital treatments. The self report of good family relations was associated with both positive (strong belief in personal control) and negative illness perception (belief in serious consequences). Believing that external causes were predominantly responsible for the illness onset was related to the positive illness representation and to a lower education level Conclusion Illness perception in COPD patients is negative and associated with certain socio-demographic and illness/treatment-related characteristics; this may have implications for detecting and modifying negative perception patterns in patients at risk.

Introduction: Treatment adherence is an indispensable strategy in the management of chronic diseases and can be influenced by various factors. Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the mediatory role of life expectancy in the relationship of treatment adherence with illness perception, self-compassion, and perceived social support among patients with cardiovascular diseases. Method: The present study was correlational and was conducted according to structural equation modeling. The population included all patients with cardiovascular diseases that visited Shahid Madani Heart Center in Tabriz, Iran, during the spring of 2021. Then, 234 patients were selected as the sample using the convenience sampling method. The instruments included Broadbent’s Illness Perception Questionnaire, Raes’s Self-compassion Scales, Zimet’s Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Snyder’s Adult Hope Scale, and the Modanloo’s Treatment Adherence Scale. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson’s correlation test, Path Analysis, and Sobel’s test in SPSS-24 and AMOS-24. Results: The findings showed that illness perception, self-compassion, perceived social support, and life expectancy had a direct and significant impacts on treatment adherence, and illness perception, self-compassion, and perceived social supports had a direct and significant impacts on life expectancy (P<0.001). Moreover, the results of the Sobel Test indicated that illness perceptions (β=0.095), self-compassion (β=0.086), and perceived social support (β=0.087) had a significant indirect influence on treatment adherence by the mediation of life expectancy (P<0.01). Conclusion: The findings showed that illness perceptions, self-compassion, and perceived social support increased treatment adherence by the mediation of life expectancy. Thus, goals could be set to train and increase life expectancy and – consequently – treatment adherence in patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Existing studies confirm the benefits of employment for chronically ill persons’ health, but few studies so far have delved into how they themselves perceive employment in relation to their health. There is also a paucity of information about individual factors influencing the formation of their perceptions. This study sought to determine differences between chronically ill persons with and without jobs regarding their perceptions of the function of employment for the physical, mental and social dimensions of health, as well as how their occupational activity or inactivity moderates the associations between the perception of work as health beneficial or health adverse and selected individual characteristics, such as self-efficacy, acceptance of illness, actualisation of self, and psychosocial problems. The study involved 80 adults with chronic illnesses and was conducted using the following psychological tools: the WH Scale, the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, the Acceptance of Illness Scale, the Actualization of Self Scale and the Psychosocial Problems of Persons with Chronic Illness Scale. It has been found that the way in which chronically ill persons perceive the function of employment for health is unrelated to whether or not they have a job, and that occupational activity moderates associations between the sense of self-efficacy and the perception of work as benefitting health.

Little is known about the changes in perception of illness among patients with the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during cardiac rehabilitation programme (CRP). The purpose of this study is to determine changes in perception of illness with ACS patients during CRP to evaluate the association of patients’ characteristics with the perception of illness at the end of Phase II of CRP. A descriptive longitudinal study was conducted among 450 patients who attended 8-weeks of Phase II CRP at 2 public hospitals in Malaysia and perception of illness was assessed using Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ). The assessment was conducted before Phase II (T0), during the 4th session (T1), and at the end of right after the 8th session (T2). One-way repeated measures of ANOVA analysed the changes of perception at T1 and T2 while logistic regression analysis evaluated the association of patients’ characteristics with the perception of illness at T2. Perception of illness changed during and after CRP from T0 to T1, and T1 to T2 (p<0.001). The patient viewed ACS as an illness that changed from being more acute to a chronic condition as the sessions progressed. Previous history of acute myocardial infarction (OR= 2.380, 95%CI 1.46, 5.49) and angioplasty intervention were both found to be associated with the perception of illness (OR=3.857, 95% CI 1.55, 9.61). Perception of illness changed during CRP and these changes are associated with patients’ previous history of cardiac events. Phase II can be viewed as the second window of opportunity for healthcare professionals to intervene early in modifying the perception of illness.

Abstract In advanced years of life comorbidity of chronic illnesses is a common phenomenon. While chronic illnesses have been documented to impact overall quality of life, morbidity, and mortality, older adults may develop psychological resources in the years of coping and managing their illnesses. These psychological resources can be influenced by individual perceptions and context as people age, and include concepts such as psychological resilience, inner strength, subjective age, and illness perception. This symposium brings together emerging health science scholars’ work on exploring and leveraging these psychological resources to improve care. Amy Ketcham will present a systematic review of psychological resilience and depression in adults with cardiac disease. Brianna Morgan will present a concept analysis exploring the nature of inner strength in people aging with serious illness and cognitive impairment. Anyah Prasad will present results examining the association between chronic illnesses and subjective age and discuss its clinical relevance. Eleanor Rivera will explore illness perception phenotypes in a longitudinal cohort study of older adults with chronic kidney disease. Together, the perspectives shared in this symposium improve understanding of and indicate ways to move toward person-centered and contextual clinical models of care in the management of chronic illnesses among older adults. In addition, the discussant will engage in a dynamic conversation about psychological resources in later life and the role these projects have played in advancing the presenters along their academic trajectories.

Abstract. Illness perception is a concept that reflects patients' emotional and cognitive representations of disease. This study assessed the illness perception change during 6 months in 195 patients (33% women and 67% men) with acute coronary syndrome, taking into account the biological, psychological, and social factors. At baseline, more threatening illness perception was observed in women, persons aged 65 years or more, with poorer functional capacity (New York Heart Association [NYHA] class III or IV) and comorbidities ( p < .05). Type D personality was the only independent factor related to more threatening illness perception (βs = 0.207, p = .006). At follow-up it was found that only self-reported cardiovascular impairment plays the role in illness perception change (βs = 0.544, p < .001): patients without impairment reported decreasing threats of illness, while the ones with it had a similar perception of threat like at baseline. Other biological, psychological, and social factors were partly associated with illness perception after an acute cardiac event but not with perception change after 6 months.

IntroductionAntipsychotics are the primary treatment for patients with schizophrenia. However, medication non- adherence rate of schizophrenia patients is high. Illness perceptions have been identified as critical indicators to influence patients’ medication adherence and treatment process. Knowledge remains unclear about the effects of illness perceptions on medication attitudes among patients with schizophrenia.ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the effects of illness perceptions on medication attitudes among patients with schizophrenia.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in a regional teaching hospital in southern Taiwan with a convenience sample of 200 patients with schizophrenia recruited. Two self-reported scales, Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ - R) and Drug Attitude Index - 10 (DAI - 10), were used to assess patients’ illness perceptions and medication attitudes. Positive illness perceptions mean patients believe their illness acute, noncyclical, fewer consequences and emotional representation. And have more personal control, treatment control, and illness coherence.ResultsPatients’ illness perceptions were negative, with a little illness identity. Most of them believed that illness is more chronic and cyclical, causing negative consequences, lower self-control, and negative emotional expression. However, they thought treatment is moderately helpful for illness control, and the treatment effect is moderate. Multiple regression analysis showed that positive illness perceptions and negatively emotional representation could predict better medication attitudes.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that psychiatric mental health professionals could assess the illness perceptions of schizophrenia patients to influence their medication attitudes. Moreover, developing evidence-based interventions to improve their positive illness perceptions and decrease negative illness perceptions is needed.

ABSTRACTBackground: Subjective Memory Complaints (SMCs) are common among middle-aged and older adults and are often a source of distress and worry. However, rates of help-seeking are low. Investigating perceptions of SMCs may help us better to understand psychological reactions to SMCs and help-seeking behavior. The present study had two aims: (i) to investigate whether the dimensions drawn from the Common Sense Model of Illness Perception (Leventhal et al., 1984) provide a valid model of perceptions held by patients with SMCs; and (ii) to develop a questionnaire to measure these perceptions.Methods: Qualitative interviews to explore perceptions of SMCs were conducted with 32 participants recruited from a memory clinic and community groups. Information from these interviews was utilized to adapt the Illness Perception Questionnaire – Revised (IPQ-R) for use with patients with SMCs. Ninety-eight such patients then completed the adapted questionnaire along with measures of cognition, depression and subjective memory function.Results: The dimensions of illness perception measured by the IPQ-R were present in participant accounts of SMCs with the exception of Timeline Cyclical. The adapted measure (IPQ-M) showed good validity and reliability.Conclusions: The development of the IPQ-M provides opportunities for further investigation of illness perceptions and their relationship to psychological distress and help-seeking behavior in SMCs. Furthermore, investigation of these relationships may provide a basis from which to develop interventions to improve well-being and help-seeking in older adults with SMCs.

Background: Service users’ perception of mental illness is vital because it points out a viable direction that practitioners can follow to fully understand service users in their own sociocultural context. Material: Qualitative research findings include mental health service users’ roles and identities, their perceptions of mental illness and their personal experiences of psychiatric stigma. Discussion: While there are similar phenomena regarding mental illness stigma between East and West, there are culturally distinctive characteristics found in Taiwan. Conclusions: Based on personal perceptions and experiences, mental health service users have interpreted illness and performed the patient role in their own way.

AbstractObjectives:The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of psychological variables to cognitive performance validity test (PVT) results in mixed forensic and nonforensic clinical samples.Methods:Participants included 183 adults who underwent comprehensive neuropsychological examination. Criterion groups were formed, that is, Credible Group or Noncredible Group, based upon their performance on the Word Memory Test and other stand-alone and embedded PVT measures.Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified three significant predictors of cognitive performance validity. These included two psychological constructs, for example, Cogniphobia (perception that cognitive effort will exacerbate neurological symptoms), and Symptom Identity (perception that current symptoms are the result of illness or injury), and one contextual factor (forensic). While there was no interaction between these factors, elevated scores were most often observed in the forensic sample, suggesting that these independently contributing intrinsic psychological factors are more likely to occur in a forensic environment.Conclusions:Illness perceptions were significant predictors of cognitive performance validity particularly when they reached very elevated levels. Extreme elevations were more common among participants in the forensic sample, and potential reasons for this pattern are explored. (JINS, 2018,24, 1–11)

Objective To assess the reliability and validity of the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) and possible subscales, and to interpret Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) total scores, in individuals with a spinal cord injury. Design Cross-sectional Setting Seven Dutch rehabilitation centres Subjects Individuals with a recently acquired traumatic or non-traumatic spinal cord injury at the start of inpatient spinal cord injury rehabilitation (N = 270). Main measure The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) consists of eight items on an individual's cognitive and emotional representation of one's health conditions. Principal component analysis was performed to identify possible Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) subscales. Validity was assessed by testing hypotheses on correlations between the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) and other measures. Cut-off points of the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) total score were determined. Results Mean (SD) age of participants was 60.1 (16.5) years, 188 (71%) were male, and 119 (44%) had tetraplegia. Three potential subscales were revealed. Cronbach's alpha was acceptable for only one subscale. This subscale was named ‘consequences’ and included the items ‘consequences’, ‘symptom burden’, ‘concern’, and ‘emotions’. The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) total and the consequence subscale showed the expected strong correlations (>.50) with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Mean (SD) scores were 40.9 (12.3) on the 8-item Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) (range 0–80) and 25.1 (8.1) on the consequences subscale (range 0–40). Cut-off points for the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) total score were determined as follows: <42 indicating low experienced threat, 42–49 indicating moderate experienced threat, and ≥50 indicating high experienced threat. Conclusion The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) total and consequences subscale seem applicable in individuals with a spinal cord injury in the rehabilitation practice and research.

Full textAbstract:
Perception of reproductive illness by the women themselves is important in understanding the women's reproductive health in a particular society. It also indicates the possibility of taking perception as a tool for measuring reproductive illness. Though women do not have a “germ theory” to explain their reproductive illness they have a sense of illness pathology. Reproductive illness perceived by women is related to physical symptoms and situations in a network of meanings and different meanings are socially generated to articulate their experiences.

Objective: Breast cancer is related to numerous psychological challenges, so the way of coping with the illness and its consequences may influence the outcome of treatment. Also, while confronting the diagnosis individuals will use their own illness perception in order to evaluate the possibility of healing and that can affect different areas of their functioning. The aim was to examine the degree to which women with breast cancer perceived their illness as threatening, as well as to examine potential predictive power of illness perception on strategies of coping with illness (hopelessness and fighting spirit). Method: 102 patients (Mage = 58.64, SDage = 10.143), who were hospitalized at the Center for Oncology and Radiology, for treatment of previously diagnosed breast cancer (Mmonths = 19.07, SDmonths = 23.49), were included in the study. The instruments included sociodemographic questionnaire, medical records, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire and the Mini-Mental Adjustment to Cancer scale. Results: Patients declared to use fighting spirit more than hopeless style of coping the illness. Model that included Illness perception, Metastasis and Treatment length predicted 16% of Fighting Spirit variance. Model that included Illness perception and Age predicted 39% of Hopelessness variance. Conclusion: Illness perception can predict the tendency to resort to hopelessness and there is a correlation between certain sociodemographic and clinical characteristics with hopelessness and fighting spirit coping styles.

Aim: Chronic illness affects many Algerians. It is possible to investigate the prediction ability of quality of life as a function to illness perception. In this study, we focus the assessment of the influence of paTient’s chronic health condition perception on the quality of life using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based approach) The Radial Basis Function). Method: Three hundred and sixteen participants (16-79 years old) from Arris and Batna regions in Algeria have completed the Revised Illness Questionnaire and Short Form 36 Health Survey Version 2.0 (SF-36V2) scale. Results: The correlations between the predicted and real values of quality-of-life dimensions were 0.34 to 0.43. The importance of the illness length is visible in the plots for perceived quality of life (Physical Functioning, Role Physical), whereas other quality of life dimensions (Vitality and Mental Health) are less visible. Conclusion: The artificial neural networks has proved the diagnosis results to be correct and could be useful for assessment of the influence of patients’ chronic health condition perception on the quality of life.
