“…Higher scores indicate stronger presence of the illness cognition. The validity and reliability of the ICQ scales are good 11,19 . Cronbach's alphas in the present study were 0.82 for acceptance, 0.85 for disease benefits and 0.88 for helplessness.…”

Introduction and Aim: Knowledge on patterns of beliefs about the illness (illness cognitions) can provide insight into individual differences in adjustment to haemophilia. The current study aimed to identify (a) which sociodemographic and disease characteristics were associated with illness cognitions and (b) which illness cognitions were associated with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in young adult men with haemophilia, besides sociodemographic and disease characteristics. Methods: Young adult men (18-30 years) with haemophilia in the Netherlands participated in an online multicentre cross-sectional study. Participants completed the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Young Adult version (PedsQL_YA). Potential sociodemographic determinants were assessed with the Course of Life Questionnaire (CoLQ) and illness cognitions with the Illness Cognition Questionnaire (ICQ). Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to assess potential determinants of illness cognitions and HRQOL. Results: Seventy young adult men with haemophilia (mean age 24.7 years, SD 3.5) participated. Born outside the Netherlands (β −0.24) and >1 bleed past 6 months (β −0.32) were associated with less acceptance of the disease. More acceptance was associated with better HRQOL in all domains: β 0.23-0.39. More helplessness was associated with worse total (β −0.30) and physical (β −0.42) HRQOL. Disease benefits, sociodemographic and disease characteristics were not associated with HRQOL. Conclusion: Illness cognitions are associated with HRQOL in young adult men with haemophilia. Early recognition and identification of illness cognitions are important to facilitate support and psychosocial treatment to optimize young adults' well-being. Extra attention is needed for young adult men with frequent bleeds because they are at risk of lowered levels of acceptance of the disease.

“…To assess the illness cognition of patients with disease, researchers have used several instruments: the illness perception questionnaire (IPQ), illness cognition questionnaire (ICQ), implicit models of illness questionnaire (IMIP) and meaning of illness questionnaire (MIQ) (Maas, Taal, van der Linden, & Boonen, 2009). The subscales of IPQ are identity, cause, time‐line and control/cure; those of IMIQ are seriousness, personal responsibility, controllability and changeability; those of MIQ are impact of Activities of Daily Living (ADL), type of stress, degree of stress, positive attitude/control and expectancy/reoccurrence; although those of the ICQ focus on patient psychological response to illness: helplessness, acceptance and perceived benefits (Lauwerier et al, 2010; Maas et al, 2009). Because accepting chronic illness is a key factor of the social life of adolescents with chronic illness (An & Lee, 2019b; Im, Lee, Yun, & Choi, 2017), ICQ was considered a useful instrument to investigate the acceptance of Korean adolescents and how that acceptance accepts their social life.…”

Aim The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Illness Cognition Questionnaire. Methods A total of 237 adolescent Participants ages 13–20 years were collected from two hospitals for purposes of the study. The participants were diagnosed with blood cancer, congenital heart disease, paediatric rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and diabetes mellitus. Results The Illness Cognition Questionnaire is composed of three subscales and 18 items. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed for all 18 items. The data used in the exploratory factor analysis were obtained from 126 adolescents with blood cancer. The data used for confirmatory factor analysis were obtained from 111 adolescents who had chronic diseases. The three‐factor model of 18 items showed general fitness close to the standard but not a very good fit. Conclusions This study indicated that the Korean version of the Illness Cognition Questionnaire is reasonable to use for Korean adolescents with chronic illness. The authors recommend that the meaning of Item 10 be clarified from ‘I have learned to accept the limitations imposed by my illness’ to ‘I have learned to positively accept the limitations imposed by my illness’.
