The article presents findings from three studies designed to validate and culturally adapt the Polish version of the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R), a measure of the cognitive and emotional components of illness representations among oncology patients. The tool is conceptually based on Leventhal’s Self-Regulatory Model (Leventhal et al., 1984, 2001). The results of the study 1 (n = 40) show that it can be successfully used in a Polish cultural context as a reliable equivalent to its original English version (Moss-Morris et al., 2002). Analyses conducted in Study 2 (n = 318) provided good evidence for construct and criterion validity as well as the internal reliability of the IPQ-R subscales. Study 3 (n = 54) revealed that the IPQ-R subscales present good test–retest reliability. Overall, the results show that the Polish version of the IPQ-R provides a comprehensive and psychometrically acceptable assessment of the representation of cancer and can be reliably used in studies involving Polish oncology patients.

Rationale, aims and objectives: The widely-used Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ) adapted for use in patients with major mental health problems and those who care and work with them, was originally developed for evaluating the illness perceptions of patients with physical pathology. There have been concerns expressed regarding the appropriateness of the IPQ and derivative measures of it in axis I disorders such as schizophrenia. The current investigation examined the measurement characteristics of a modified version of the IPQ in mental health practitioners working with patients with schizophrenia co-morbid with learning disability.  Method: Two hundred and ten mental health practitioners working with patients with schizophrenia co-morbid with learning disability participated in the study. Contemporary models of the measurement structure of the IPQ were evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis. The internal reliability of the IPQ was also evaluated.Results: Single factor, 5-factor and 6-factor models were evaluated against data. All models were found to offer a poor fit to the data. The internal reliability of the measure was also found to be unsatisfactory overall.  Conclusions: Consistent with one previous study that has found poor measurement characteristics of the IPQ when used in the context of schizophrenia, the current study found the measure to be a poorly performing index of illness perceptions. Echoing previous observations of the use of this tool in axis I disorder, it is recommended that a new measure of illness perceptions be developed using contemporary research methodology sensitive to the context of psychotic illness in order to provide a more effective tool for the provision of person-centered psychiatry and healthcare.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThough there is thorough examination of psychosocial issues in SCT, there are few longitudinal studies examining the meaning SCT patients attribute to their treatment.ObjectiveThe object of this study was to examine change in situational appraisal over time, and to explore potential modifiers of that change.MethodsA prospective, longitudinal study of 146 autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) patients at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) was conducted to measure situational appraisal over time as per the meaning making model of Park and Folkman (1997) utilizing the Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R; Moss-Morris et al., 2002). Participants were administered the instrument prior to transplant, at one, three and six months, and at one-year post-transplant.ResultsChange over time was seen in different diagnoses, donor types, reduced intensity and standard pre-transplant preparative regimens, and between the two major ethnic groups (Caucasian and African American) studied. Many of the patient subgroups had statistically significant findings in measures of illness attribution.ConclusionThe appraisals SCT patients made of their situation in treatment revealed a complex process of appraisal affected by illness, treatment and patient characteristics including disease type, donor type, race, and pre-transplant regimen.

Objective: Illness perceptions (IP) are important predictors of emotional and behavioral responses in many diseases. The current study aims to investigate the COVID-19-related IP throughout Europe. The specific goals are to understand the temporal development, identify predictors (within demographics and contact with COVID-19) and examine the impacts of IP on perceived stress and preventive behaviors.Methods: This was a time-series-cross-section study of 7,032 participants from 16 European countries using multilevel modeling from April to June 2020. IP were measured with the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. Temporal patterns were observed considering the date of participation and the date recoded to account the epidemiological evolution of each country. The outcomes considered were perceived stress and COVID-19 preventive behaviors.Results: There were significant trends, over time, for several IP, suggesting a small decrease in negativity in the perception of COVID-19 in the community. Age, gender, and education level related to some, but not all, IP. Considering the self-regulation model, perceptions consistently predicted general stress and were less consistently related to preventive behaviors. Country showed no effect in the predictive model, suggesting that national differences may have little relevance for IP, in this context.Conclusion: The present study provides a comprehensive picture of COVID-19 IP in Europe in an early stage of the pandemic. The results shed light on the process of IP formation with implications for health-related outcomes and their evolution.

Abstract Purpose: To explore the predictive effect of illness perceptions on vision-related quality of life (VRQoL) in Chinese glaucoma patients.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 97 patients with glaucoma completed the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), the Glaucoma Quality of Life-15 (GQL-15), and a questionnaire with sociodemographic and clinical information. Correlation analysis and hierarchical linear regression analysis were performed.Results: The BIPQ total score was positively correlated with the scores of the total GQL-15 and its four dimensions. Chronic comorbidities, type of glaucoma, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), mean defect (MD) of visual field in the better eye, and identity in the BIPQ were the critical predictors of VRQoL. Illness perceptions independently accounted for 7.8% of the variance in the VRQoL of glaucoma patients.Conclusions: Patients with stronger illness perceptions who perceive themselves as having more glaucoma symptoms are likely to experience worse VRQoL. Illness perceptions in glaucoma patients deserve clinical attention, and further studies are needed to examine whether cognitive interventions targeting illness perceptions can improve VRQoL.

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.
