“…It was unclear in our analysis whether poorer physical health at 6 months was influenced by perceptions of necessity and suitability, and physical health at baseline. In addition, we found no real impact of baseline illness perceptions on physical health at 6 months, which contrasts with previous research [7,8,[30][31][32][33][34].…”

Background: Adherence to medication regimens is essential for preventing and reducing adverse outcomes among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Greater understanding of the relation between negative illness perceptions, beliefs about cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and medication adherence may help inform future approaches to improving medication adherence and quality of life (QoL) outcomes. The aims of the study are: 1) to compare changes in illness perceptions, beliefs about CR, medication adherence and QoL on entry to a CR programme and 6 months later; 2) to examine associations between patients' illness perceptions and beliefs about CR at baseline and medication adherence and QoL at 6 months. Methods: A longitudinal study of 40 patients with CAD recruited from one CR service in Scotland. Patients completed the Medication Adherence Report Scale, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, Beliefs about CR questionnaire and the Short-Form 12 Health Survey. Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test, Pearson Product Moment correlation and Bayesian multiple logistic regression. Results: Most patients were men (70%), aged 62.3 mean (SD 7.84) years. Small improvements in 'perceived suitability' of CR at baseline increased the odds of being fully adherent to medication by approximately 60% at 6 months. Being fully adherent at baseline increased the odds of staying so at 6 months by 13.5 times. 'Perceived necessity, concerns for exercise and practical barriers' were negatively associated with reductions in the probability of full medication adherence of 50, 10, and 50%. Small increases in concerns about exercise decreased the odds of better physical health at 6 months by about 50%; and increases in practical barriers decreased the odds of better physical health by about 60%. Patients perceived fewer consequences of their cardiac disease at 6 months. Conclusions: Patients' beliefs on entry to a CR programme are especially important to medication adherence at 6 months. Negative beliefs about CR should be identified early in CR to counteract any negative effects on QoL. Interventions to improve medication adherence and QoL outcomes should focus on improving patients' negative beliefs about CR and increasing understanding of the role of medication adherence in preventing a future cardiac event.

“…In other medical illness, better understanding of illness lead to better QoL and perception of illness is amenable to change over time. 7 When we further divided our sample into mild and moderate categories, to compare the mean scores, we found significant difference in perception of illness at 0.05 level of significance. However there was no significant difference found on QoL between the two groups.…”

“…It may effects patient's adherence to treatment, outcome and overall wellbeing. 6,7 How a layperson perceives his illness is comparatively new area of research, but there is now an influential body of literature describing its importance and role in management especially in few medical illnesses. 6 Both QoL and perception of illness are highly loaded with subjectivity and vary from individual to individual.…”

Objective To examine QoL and perception of illness in adult patients with a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods and procedure Thirty patients gave consent for participation in the study. Questionnaires included Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS), WHO Quality of Life ? BREF Version and Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ). Results Cognitive and emotional complaints were reported by most of the patients. Higher percentages of patients fall in the medium range on all the four domains QoL. However on social and physical domain of QoL, the percentage is to some extent higher on the low range. On IPQ higher percentages fall within low and medium range. However on the coherence and emotional subscales of the IPQ, a higher percentage of patients fall in the higher range. Physical, psychological, environmental domains of QoL were found significantly correlated with overall subscale of IPQ at 0.01 and 0.05 level of significance. And a significant difference was also noted between mild and moderate TBI on IPQ but not on QoL. Conclusions The research findings highlight the need to emphasis not on physical but on psychosocial dimensions of individual as well, which may lead to better recovery and outcome.

“…For the rehabilitation setting specifically, these findings are relevant as well. Janssen et al showed that changes in IP during cardiac rehabilitation were associated with enhanced quality of life [57]. French et al demonstrated that more favourable IP predicted attendance at cardiac rehabilitation among acute myocardial infarction patients [58].…”
