Illness perceptions predict distress in patients with chronic kidney disease
Illness perceptions hold a principal role in explaining distress in CKD, relative to other traditional covariates. For this reason, illness perceptions should be addressed as a primary modifiable component in the development of distress in CKD

DESIGN: A cross-sectional online survey was carried out by a market research company. SETTING: Data were collected in England between 18th March and 1st April 2016. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 10…
Stress, Illness Perceptions, Behaviors, and Healing in Venous Leg Ulcers
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of stress, illness perceptions, and behaviors on healing of venous leg ulcers. METHODS: A prospective observational study of 63 individuals for 24 weeks investigated possible psychosocial predictors of healing. There were two indices of healing: rate of change in ulcer area and number of weeks to heal. Psychological variables were assessed at baseline using self-report measures (Percei…
The Pace trial
The continued critiques of the PACE trial highlight how differing beliefs about the causes of chronic fatigue syndrome still influence how scientific studies in this area are accepted and evaluated. Causal beliefs about chronic fatigue syndrome and a modern version of Cartesian dualism are important in understanding the reaction to the PACE trial. The continued debate on the PACE trial seems to miss the fact that science is incremental. An unfort…
A qualitative study of treatment burden among haemodialysis recipients
This study aims to explore the experience of renal patients undergoing dialysis treatment focusing on beliefs about their illness, prescribed treatment and the challenge of adherence. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyse the accounts of seven haemodialysis patients. Patients have a range of beliefs about their illness and their treatment consistent with the self-regulatory model of illness, that is, identity, cause, conseq…
Crenças de senso comum sobre medicamentos genéricos vs. medicamentos de marca
O presente estudo avaliou em que medida o nome da doença pode influenciar a crença sobre o uso de medicamentos (genéricos e de marca) em indivíduos saudáveis, e (2) a existência de eventuais diferenças de género associadas às crenças sobre a medicação para doenças específicas. Participaram neste estudo 144 indivíduos saudáveis (54% mulheres) que completaram um questionário constituído por vignettes em que diferentes prescrições (genérico/marca) f…
The relationship of depression and disease stage to patient perceptions of Parkinson's disease
The present study aimed to perform an in-depth exploration of perceptions of Parkinson's disease (PD) and their relationship to depression and disease stage using semi-structured interviews. 37 participants with PD formed four groups: depressed and non-depressed with either mild or moderate-severe stage PD. Interviews were analysed using Framework Analysis. Moderate-severe stage patients reported a greater variety of perceptions than those with m…
How Black African and White British Women Perceive Depression and Help-Seeking
Background: The detection of psychological problems of black African people has been found to be substantially lower, compared with white British and black Caribbean people. This may be due to differences in patients’ perceptions of illness. Little research has been carried out on factors that may influence the help-seeking behaviour of black Africans. Aims: To assess differences in the perceptions of depression of black African and white British…
The Dissimilarity between Patients' and Relatives' Perception of Eating Disorders and its Relation to Patient Adjustment
This study aims to examine the relation between the degree of dissimilarity in patients' and relatives' perception of eating disorders (ED) and patient adjustment. Sixty ED patients and their relatives were interviewed. They completed the Spanish version for ED of the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R). Patients who agreed with their relatives that their illness was highly distressful, a chronic condition and with high identity, sho…
Sociodemographic Differences in Myocardial Infarction Risk Perceptions among People with Coronary Heart Disease
This study examines sociodemographic differences in myocardial infarction (MI) risk perceptions among people with coronary heart disease (CHD) ( N = 3130). Two variables for comparative risk perceptions were computed: (1) own risk compared to that of an average person; and (2) own risk compared to that of an average person with CHD. Comparative optimism in MI risk perceptions was common, particularly among men and those with higher education. CHD…

Sociodemographic, Disease Status, and Illness Perceptions Predictors of Global Self-ratings of Health and Quality of Life Among those with Coronary Heart Disease – One Year Follow-up Study
The use and reporting of cluster analysis in health psychology
Purpose Cluster analysis is a collection of relatively simple descriptive statistical techniques with potential value in health psychology, addressing both theoretical and practical problems. There are many methods of cluster analysis from which to choose, with no clear guidelines to aid researchers. In the absence of guidelines it is likely that methods already reported by published researchers will be adopted, and so clear reporting of statisti…
The Uncertain Consultation and Patient Satisfaction
OBJECTIVE: To identify predictors of patient satisfaction among a range of patient and practitioner variables. In particular, to focus on patients' illness perceptions and the impact of a randomized controlled trial on the training of physicians in general communication skills and how to treat patients presenting with poorly defined illness. METHODS: A randomized controlled follow-up study conducted in 28 general practices in Aarhus County, Denma…
The Patients’ Illness Perceptions and the Use of Primary Health Care
OBJECTIVE: To investigate if primary care patients' perceptions of a current health problem were associated with use of health care. METHOD: One thousand seven hundred eighty-five patients presenting a new health problem to 1 of 38 physicians from 28 general practices in Aarhus County, Denmark. Patients completed a questionnaire on their illness perceptions and emotional distress before the consultation. The physicians completed a questionnaire f…
Self-regulation and the behavioural response to DNA risk information
Effects of Emotional Disclosure on Psychological and Physiological Outcomes in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
The effects of an exploratory, home-based emotional disclosure intervention on psychological and physiological outcomes were assessed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients were randomly assigned to a disclosure group ( n = 19) in which they wrote/talked about traumatic personal experiences, or to a control group ( n = 15) in which they wrote/talked about the events of a particular day. Participants undertook these tasks for periods of 2…

The Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R)
This paper presents a revised version of the Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R), a recently developed and widely used quantitative measure of the five components of illness representations in Leventhal's self-regulatory model. The revised version stemmed from a need to deal with minor psychometric problems with two subscales, and to include additional subscales, assessing cyclical timeline perceptions, illness coherence, and emotional repre…
Changing Illness Perceptions After Myocardial Infarction
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to examine whether a brief hospital intervention designed to alter patients' perceptions about their myocardial infarction (MI) would result in a better recovery and reduced disability. DESIGN: In a prospective randomized study, 65 consecutive patients with their first MI aged were assigned to receive an intervention designed to alter their perceptions about their MI or usual care from rehabilitation nurses. Pat…
Perceptions of Multiple Risk Factors for Heart Attacks
There is increasing evidence that in some diseases such as coronary heart disease, risk factors may interact synergistically, resulting in greater likelihood of disease than would be produced by the sum of the risk factors. These two studies aimed to examine the extent to which 210 undergraduate students and 28 heart attack patients perceive risk factors to combine synergistically. Respondents read one of four vignettes, describing information ab…

The Place of Inter-Rater Reliability in Qualitative Research
Assessing inter-rater reliability, whereby data are independently coded and the codings compared for agreements, is a recognised process in quantitative research. However, its applicability to qualitative research is less clear: should researchers be expected to identify the same codes or themes in a transcript or should they be expected to produce different accounts? Some qualitative researchers argue that assessing inter-rater reliability is an…

Sharing psychological skills in the general practice setting
Three broad areas of work are described in this paper. The first is concerned with the nature of psychological processes within the general practice consultation and the indications these provide for skill sharing. In the second section there is an account of courses designed to develop skills in the recognition of psychological aspects of illness and in the detection of psychological problems. The third section outlines various courses for devel…
The illness perception questionnaire
The Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ) is a new method for assessing cognitive representations of illness. The IPQ is a theoretically derived measure comprising five scales that provides information about the five components that have been found to underlie the cognitive representation of illness. The five scales assess identity - the symptoms the patient associates with the illness, cause - personal ideas about aetiology, time-line - the per…

Patients' beliefs about prescribed medicines and their role in adherence to treatment in chronic physical illness
The beliefs about medicines questionnaire
This paper presents a novel method for assessing cognitive representations of medication: the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ). The BMQ comprises two sections: the BMQ-Specific which assesses representations of medication prescribed for personal use and the BMQ-General which assesses beliefs about medicines in general. The pool of test items was derived from themes identified in published studies and from interviews with chronically il…
