“…Contrary to expectation, illness perception (IEQ) and level of cognitive depression (CDI) failed to explain significant variance in biochemical and dietician ratings of adherence. This is in contrast to many previous studies with usually younger cohorts (Binik, 1983;Kaplan De-Nour, 1994). The average age of the patients in this population was significantly higher than that in previous studies (49 per cent over 60 years).…”

Objectives. To examine the relationship of psychosocial factors to adherence to dietary restrictions of haemodialysis patients with the aim of identifying strategies to improve adherence. Design. Cross‐sectional study with correlational analysis. Methods. Interview and self‐completion questionnaire for all adult haemodialysis patients at one centre (N = 35; 92 per cent response). Psychosocial measures: Beck Depression Inventory (cognitive subset), Illness Effects Questionnaire, Renal Knowledge Questionnaire and Renal Adherence Attitudes Questionnaire. Adherence measures: biochemical indices, dietician rating, self‐report (Renal Adherence Behaviour Questionnaire). Results. A minority reported significant psychological difficulties. High levels of non‐adherence were reported with little agreement among biochemical, dietician and self‐report formats. Demographic and clinical, more than psychological, indices were associated with variations in adherence. Conclusions. Educational strategies may promote greater adherence but progress in this field is hampered by disagreement across different sources of assessment of adherence.

“…Understandably, such disruptions are believed to compromise the quality of life in ESRD, and this issue has received considerable attention (Binik, 1983;Binik & Chowanec, 1986;Blagg, 1978;Cassileth et al, 1984;Devins, 1989, in press; R. G. Evans et al, 1985;Levy, 1981bLevy, , 1983. It has been argued that available renal replacement therapies differ significantly in the intrusions and demands that they impose upon patients (e.g., Kutner, Brogan, & Kutner, 1986).…”

Investigated the degree to which chronic, life-threatening illness and its treatment interfere with continued involvements in valued activities and interests--that is, illness intrusiveness--and its impact on quality of life in end-stage renal disease. Data were collected on two occasions separated by a lag of 6 weeks. Mixed analyses of variance indicated that life domains were affected differentially across treatments. Perceived illness intrusiveness correlated significantly with treatment time requirements, uremic symptoms, intercurrent nonrenal illnesses, fatigue, and difficulties in daily activities. Significant quality-of-life differences were observed across treatment modalities for satisfaction/happiness and pessimism/illness-related concerns but not for depression/distress. Perceived illness intrusiveness correlated significantly with each of these quality-of-life measures. Results were stable over time. These findings substantiate the construct of illness intrusiveness as a mediator of the psychosocial impact of chronic, life-threatening illness.

“…One must also take into account the potential stress associated with deprivation of physical activity or social relations. Similar considerations might apply to the renal dialysis patient (see Binik, 1983;Levy, 1974). Should one, for example, engage in physical events which may undermine regulation of water intake, or participate in social gatherings which will disrupt diet maintenance?…”

The present paper utilizes theoretical formulations and findings from experimental personality research on stress and coping to evaluate common stress management techniques in the behavioural medicine domain. A distinction is made between procedures which attempt to regulate internal stress arousal (fear-control techniques); and those which focus on personal coping activity and the mobilization of environmental counter-threat resources (danger-control techniques). Whereas current behavioural medicine interventions emphasize the former, the primary focus of this paper is on the latter. As such, a preliminary theoretical framework is advanced for considering the "danger-control" aspects of behavioural medical interventions. In particular, this framework focuses on informational factors pertaining to the controllability of stressor events. Impediments to stress management in the behavioural medicine setting suggested by stress-relevant deficits and anomalies associated with psychopathology are also discussed. Finally, tentative implications for improved stress management procedures in behavioural medicine are put forth.
