“…An unclear understanding of disease identity, consequences, and treatment outcomes leads to anxiety and depression and consequently can worsen the disease (Bystryn and Rudolph, 2005). Furthermore, a correction of misconceptions about the disease may improve treatment outcomes (Chen et al, 2018, Etain et al, 2018, Keogh et al, 2011, Lee et al, 2018).…”

Objective Little is known about illness perception in patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV). We designed a cross-sectional study to clarify the beliefs about PV. Methods A total of 100 patients with PV (45 men, 55 women) completed the Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised to assess beliefs about seven aspects of illness perception, including chronicity, recurrence, consequences, self and medicine role in controlling illness, coherence, and emotional representation. The relationship between illness perception and clinical and demographic variables was evaluated. Results Patients viewed PV as a chronic and cyclical disease with important impression on their life and emotions. Patients had a good understanding of the disease and supposed an acceptable role for themselves and medical treatment. Interestingly, the clinical subtype and severity of the disease did not influence any aspect of illness perception, but some differences on the basis of demographic data were demonstrated. Conclusion Our patients had a relatively good understanding of their illness and a correct perception about chronicity and the cyclical identity of illness. The patients believed that their life and emotions had been strongly influenced by the disease but were hopeful for a cure. Because correction of misconceptions about a disease may improve treatment outcomes, an assessment of patients' illness perception may be useful to try and modify perception.

“…For this reason, once a diagnosis of PNES (and absence of epilepsy) has been established, AEDs given for suspected epilepsy should be tapered immediately, not least to support the change in illness perceptions (Thompson et al, 2009; Oto et al, 2010). Explaining that AEDs do not treat PNES and removing them can have positive effects on quality of life (Rawlings et al, 2017a) and long‐term outcome (Duncan et al, 2016; Chen et al, 2018).…”

Psychogenic non‐epileptic seizures (PNES), also known as dissociative seizures, are paroxysms of altered subjective experience, involuntary movements and reduced self‐control that can resemble epileptic seizures, but have distinct clinical characteristics and a complex neuropsychiatric aetiology. They are common, accounting for over 10% of seizure emergencies and around 30% of cases in tertiary epilepsy units, but the diagnosis is often missed or delayed. The recently proposed “integrative cognitive model” accommodates current research on experiential, psychological and biological risk factors for the development of PNES, but in view of the considerable heterogeneity of presentations and medical context, it is not certain that a universal model can capture the full range of PNES manifestations. This narrative review addresses key learning objectives of the ILAE curriculum by describing the demographic profile, common risk factors (such as trauma or acute stress) and comorbid disorders (such as other dissociative and functional disorders, post‐traumatic stress disorder, depressive and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, comorbid epilepsy, head injury, cognitive and sleep problems, migraine, pain, and asthma). The clinical implications of demographic and aetiological factors for diagnosis and treatment planning are addressed.

“…High score of illness perception has been associated with the lack of adaptation to illness [17]. In addition, the research conducted by Chen et al (2018) showed that the illness perception is associated with adherence to treatment. Recognizing the perception of the illness has a predictive value in improving the health behaviors of patients with chronic illness [18].…”

Recognizing the perception of the illness has a predictive value in improving the health behaviors of patients with chronic illness [18]. As illness perception can vary in different cultural and social conditions, illness perception provides an important framework for assessing patients' beliefs and the way of effect of its components on the health behaviors.…”

One of the proposed psychological treatments in hemodialysis patients is acceptance and commitment therapy. The acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on psychological flexibility and this occurs when a person consciously accepts his or her thoughts and feelings and shows a behavior consistent with his or her personal values. As chronic kidney failure causes many psychological problems for patients, which can affect their various aspects of life and significantly reduce their quality of life and as acceptance and commitment therapy has provided promising results in helping patients with severe and chronic conditions to cope with their psychological, physical, social, family and economic problems and given the important role of the variable of illness perception in this regard, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy on illness perception of patients. The statistical population of this study included hemodialysis patients in the dialysis ward of Bouali Marivan Hospital from 22-11-2018 to 22/11/2012. The number of subjects in each of the experimental and control groups was 15. The experimental group received acceptance and commitment therapy at 8 sessions and the control group received no therapy. The data were collected using Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R). Data were analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive statistics and covariance analysis. The results of the study showed that acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) was effective on illness perception, consequences of the illness perception, illness personal control perception, illness treatment control perception, concern and emotional responses perception in dialysis patients. However, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) did not affect the illness timeline perception, identity of the illness perception and the illness recognition in dialysis patients.
