“…Selection of independent psychosocial measures included in the analysis was guided by the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping (TMSC; Lazarus & Folkman, 1984). The TMSC has been used to guide studies of adherence to medications for a number of chronic diseases (Frazier et al ., 1994;Noeker & Petermann, 1998;Peyrot et al ., 1999;Reid et al ., 1994) and conceptually captures commonly cited psychosocial correlates of adherence to antiretroviral medications, such as beliefs and attitudes about illness and treatment characteristics, self-efficacy, coping efforts, quality of patient Á/provider relationship, and social support (Chesney, 2000;Rabkin & Chesney, 1999;Singh et al ., 1999).…”

The purpose of the study was to investigate factors affecting antiretroviral adherence among African American drug users, specifically to identify associations between self-reported adherence levels and psychosocial measures selected with guidance from the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping (TMSC). The study was conducted using data collected from 137 HIV-positive African American drug users who were receiving antiretroviral medications at the time they were interviewed. Bivariate associations were investigated using correlational analyses and variables showing a significant correlation with adherence were entered into a multivariate regression model. The multivariate model showed only perceived efficacy of antiretrovirals and one measure of perceived barriers, simply forgetting to take medications, were independently related to adherence. These preliminary findings suggest that theoretical approaches to understanding antiretroviral adherence must address a range of variables, including but not limited to behavioural practices, cognitive appraisals, affective responses and social support. Further studies using the complete TMSC are recommended.

“…Eleven studies were identified that reported coping styles and strategies used by adults with asthma, 25 young people or children with asthma, [26][27][28][29][30][31] or their caregivers. [31][32][33][34][35] These are summarised in Table 1.…”

Adherence to asthma medication regimens by asthma patients is often poor and contributes to the continued and substantial burden of asthma in the community. There is evidence of increased rates of behavioural problems, anxiety and depression in people with moderate-to-severe asthma and these factors may interfere with adherence and contribute to poor asthma control. An alternative explanation is that the relationship between feelings of anxiety and depression, and adherence to the treatment regimen may be more accurately predicted from the coping styles used, rather than the experience of asthma itself. The objective of this paper was to review evidence for associations between coping strategies used by asthma patients, asthma management and health outcomes. The Medline and PsychInfo databases were searched for articles containing the terms "asthma" and "coping". Patients with asthma tended to use different strategies for coping with stress and illness compared to healthy participants and individuals with other chronic illnesses. Emotion-focussed coping strategies such as denial were commonly used by patients with poor medication adherence, those who attended emergency departments for asthma, were admitted to hospital for asthma, or suffered near-fatal asthma attacks. Interventions to improve coping strategies have been effective in reducing symptoms and psychological distress. The availability of coping resources to patients and/or their caregivers and the coping strategies that are used are likely to mediate the influence of psychosocial factors on the management of asthma. Further studies exploring the ways in which individuals cope with asthma will improve our understanding of the mechanisms linking psychological and social status to asthma morbidity and mortality.

“…Beispielsweise ist die Fähigkeit zur Wahrnehmung körpereigener Vorgänge (hier der zunehmende Obstruktionsgrad der Atemwege) noch nicht ausreichend, sodass Eltern lernen müssen, ihr Kind genau zu beobachten und Anzeichen einer Atemwegsverschlechterung zu erkennen (z. B. an der Körperhaltung des Kindes oder Atemgeräuschen) [24]. Viele Kinder verfügen noch nicht über genügend Geschicklichkeit, um die Inhalationstechnik sicher zu beherrschen.…”
