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.

Peak Aerobic Capacity

This study investigated (i) the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in people with a long-standing spinal cord injury (SCI); (ii) whether personal or lesion characteristics are determinants of the MetS; and (iii) the association with physical activity or peak aerobic capacity on the MetS. In a cross-sectional study, persons with SCI (N = 223; time since injury of ≥10 years) were tested. The individual components of the MetS were assessed together with the physical activity measured by the Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities (PASIPD), while peak aerobic capacity was tested during a graded wheelchair exercise test on a treadmill. Thirty-nine percent of the participants had MetS. In a multivariate logistic regression analyses and after performing a backward regression analysis, only age and education were significant determinants of the MetS. A 10-year increase in age leads to a 1.5 times more chance to have the MetS. Furthermore, people with a low education will multiply the relative risk of MetS compared with people with high education by almost 2. With and without correcting for confounders, no significant relationship was found between PASIPD or peak aerobic capacity and the MetS. It can be concluded that the prevalence of the MetS is high (39%) in people with a long-standing SCI but is comparable to the general Dutch population. Older people and those with a lower education level are most at risk for the MetS. Physical activity and peak aerobic fitness were not related to the MetS in this group with a long-standing SCI.

The Impact

Background: Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are a variety of chronic diseases that various causes such as trauma may contribute to its onset. One of the problems in these patients is the problem of physical activity and, consequently, daily activities. Objectives: This study aimed to assess daily living of patients with SCI. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study in 2019, 120 patients with SCI in Kermanshah were included in the study using purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study fell into two parts. One part included the demographic characteristics of the SCI patients, and the other part was a questionnaire of the rate of the Impact on Participation and Autonomy questionnaire (IPA-P). Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16 using descriptive tests such as mean and standard deviation. Results: The result showed there was a significant relationship between demographic characteristics such as education (P < 0.007), time of spinal cord injury (P < 0.01), and income (P = 0.000). Also, the results showed there was a relationship between Autonomy and Participation, and the age of patients and their autonomy and participation decreased with age (P = 0.000, R = 0.72). Most of the patients had severe problems with daily activities. Also, most patients had very poor scores in relation to daily living activities. Conclusions: Considering the low rate of participation and autonomy in patients with SCI, it is suggested to conduct studies aimed at improving their self-care and social participation.

Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: Interdiszciplináris kutatásokkal igazolták, hogy a páciensnek a betegségéről kialakított elképzelései meghatározó szerepet játszanak a gyógyulási folyamat sikerességében. Célkitűzés: Vizsgálatunk célja az ezen elképzelések felmérésére kifejlesztett Rövid Betegségpercepció Kérdőív magyar nyelvű változatának megbízhatósági és validitási vizsgálata krónikus betegségben szenvedő, daganattal küzdő és transzplantált páciensek körében. Módszer: Keresztmetszeti vizsgálatunkban 490 páciens vett részt. A kérdőív validitásának vizsgálatára a Spielberger-féle Állapot- és Vonásszorongás Kérdőívet, a Beck Depresszió Kérdőívet és a Poszttraumás Növekedésérzés Kérdőívet alkalmaztuk, illetve felmértük a betegcsoportok életminőségét. Eredmények: A kérdőív belső megbízhatósága, a teszt-reteszt megbízhatósága kiváló. A konstruktumvaliditást vizsgálva közepesen erős összefüggést találtunk a szorongás, a depresszió, a poszttraumás növekedésérzés, az életminőség és a Rövid Betegségpercepció Kérdőív között. A prediktív validitást vizsgálva igazolást nyert, hogy a betegségpercepció összefüggésben áll a veseműködést jelző eGFR-szinttel (p = 0,027). A kérdőív diszkrimináns validitását igazolta, hogy képes különbséget tenni a különböző betegcsoportok között. Következtetés: A Rövid Betegségpercepció Kérdőív magyar verziójának reliabilitása és validitása a vizsgált populáción jónak mutatkozott. A kérdőív megbízható információt ad a pácienseknek a betegségükről kialakított elképzeléseiről. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(6): 212–218. Summary. Introduction: Interdisciplinary studies confirm that patients’ illness perception can have a substantial effect on the healing process. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Hungarian version of the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire in chronic disease, cancer, and transplant patients. Method: 490 patients were assessed using the Spielberger Anxiety Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and quality of life questionnaires. Results: The scale showed good internal consistency, and the test-retest reliability was excellent. The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire scores moderately correlated with anxiety, depression, posttraumatic growth and quality of life. Examining predictive validity, the questionnaire correlated with eGFR level (p = 0.027). The discriminant validity of the questionnaire was supported by its ability to distinguish between different patient groups. Conclusion: The reliability and validity of the Hungarian version of the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire in the sample were excellent. The questionnaire turned out to be a useful psychometric tool in the measurement of illness perception. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(6): 212–218.
