This prospective study aimed to examine self-regulation’ changes (illness representations and coping strategies) and predictors of quality of life 3 months after hospital discharge. A total of 157 patients with extremity injuries from two hospitals in Indonesia completed the survey 3 months post-discharge. The results showed that patients demonstrated more positive illness representations, better coping strategies, and better quality of life 3 months post-discharge than prior discharge. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that patients’ symptom identity, personal control, and treatment control were significant predictors of quality of life 3 months after extremity injury. Patients with negative perceptions of their injury-related symptoms, personal control, and treatment control at hospital discharge were at higher risk of impaired quality of life 3 months post-discharge than those with positive perceptions. Therefore, clinicians should assess and modify patients’ illness representations before discharge from the hospital to achieve a better prognosis for post-injury quality of life.

Background: The number of studies that have assessed cognitive illness representations among people diagnosed with depression, and their relationship to health outcomes, has clearly grown. Nevertheless, the relationship between cognitive illness representations and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has received very little research attention. Aims: This study examined cognitive illness representations, based on the self-regulation model (SRM), and the contribution of each dimension of these cognitive illness representations to health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among Israeli Arabs diagnosed with depression. Methods: A convenience sample of 160 Israeli Arabs with depression completed measures of cognitive illness representations (identity, timeline, consequences, personal control, treatment control, and coherence), HRQoL, and sociodemographic and health characteristics. Results: Participants reported high levels of negative perceptions in the identity, timeline, and consequences dimensions, and moderate levels in the dimensions of personal control, treatment control, and coherence. Also, participants reported low levels of HRQoL. Identity, consequences, and coherence were found to be the main determinants of HRQoL. Conclusion: This study underlines the crucial role of the identity, consequences, and coherence dimensions in the HRQoL of individuals diagnosed with depression. The findings indicate that clinical interventions targeting cognitive illness representations of individuals with depression, and in particular identity, consequences, and coherence, might be helpful in improving the HRQoL of this population.

Abstract Objectives: For patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in China, little is known of how their illness perceptions affect their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The present study detailed associations between characteristics of illness perception and features of HRQoL.Methods: For 191 patients with RA, illness perceptions were measured using the Brief Illness Perceptions Questionnaire (BIPQ) with 8 domains. HRQoL was determined with the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). The independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, linear regression analyses, and multivariate stepwise regression was used to analyze these data. Results: The overall BIPQ of patients with RA was 49.09 ± 11.06. The highest and lowest scores were for concern (9.15 ± 1.81) and personal control (4.30 ± 2.52), respectively. Multivariate stepwise regression analyses showed that domains of BIPQ including consequences, personal control, treatment control, identity, coherence, emotional response, and the overall BIPQ score were associated with HRQoL, identity and emotional response were negatively associated with HRQoL but personal control, treatment control positively (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the overall BIPQ had a significantly negative association with each component and the summary scores of HRQoL.Conclusions: Illness perceptions were associated with HRQoL of patients with RA in China. Illness perceptions were identified as likely targets for strategies to improve quality of life in patients with RA in China. This study provides evidence that can help improve HRQoL in patients with RA.

The Impact

Purposes: Women with diabetes (WD) are more severely impacted by the consequence of suboptimal diabetes control. This study aims to examine the impact of demographic and disease characteristics, baseline self-stigma, role strain, diabetes distress on Hemoglobin A1C (A1C) levels, quality of life (D-QoL) and 6-month A1C levels in younger WD. Methods: This study was a 6-month prospective study. In total, 193 WD aged 20–64 years were selected by convenience sampling from three outpatient clinics in Taiwan. Demographic and disease characteristics, self-stigma, role strain, diabetes distress, A1C levels, and D-QoL were collected at baseline. A1C levels were further collected 6 months later. Structural equation modeling was conducted to test the hypothesized model. Results: The final model supported that higher baseline D-QoL directly associated with lower concurrent A1C levels and indirectly associated with lower 6-month A1C levels through baseline A1C levels. Higher baseline self-stigma, role strain, and diabetes distress directly associated with lower baseline D-QoL, and indirectly associated with higher 6-month A1C levels through D-QoL. Conclusion: Improving self-stigma, role strain, and diabetes distress should be considered as promising strategies to improve D-QoL in young WD. D-QoL plays a mediation role between baseline self-stigma, role strain, diabetes distress and subsequent glycemic control in younger WD. Enhancing baseline D-QoL is fundamental to improve subsequent glycemic control.
