“…The two factors produced for the Persian BIPQ in the present study are exactly similar to those found for the Turkish version using a confirmatory factor analysis [ 31 ]. The Arabic version of BIPQ used in a group of patients with cardiac disease reported corrected ITC between 0.220 and 0.588; the factor analysis was not performed for the Arabic version [ 32 ].…”

Background. Illness perceptions may influence coping behaviors as well as treatment and recovery among patients with chronic pain including low back pain (LBP). These perceptions may vary across different conditions. The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) is used as an instrument to assess the patients’ perception of illness. Although the BIPQ has been previously translated into Persian, its psychometric properties have not been evaluated among patients with chronic nonspecific LBP. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the Persian BIPQ in patients with chronic nonspecific LBP. Methods. 116 patients with chronic nonspecific LBP with a mean (standard deviation) age of 36.4 years (10.7) participated in this cross-sectional study. Fifty patients were reexamined after 10 to 12 days for test-retest reliability. Internal consistency reliability, construct validity, concurrent criterion validity, and structural validity were evaluated. The concurrent validity was examined by using the Short Form-36 Health Survey. Results. There were no floor and ceiling effects. Cronbach’s alpha for the total score was 0.90. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for test-retest reliability was 0.90. The standard error of measurement and the minimal detectable change was found to be 3.26 and 9.04, respectively. The convergent correlations confirmed the construct validity. The concurrent criterion validity was demonstrated by significant negative correlations with the SF-36. The Exploratory Factor Analysis produced the 2 factors (emotional illness representations and cognitive illness representations) with an eigenvalue >1.0 that jointly accounted for 58.86% of the total variance. Conclusion. The Persian BIPQ is a reliable and 2-factor instrument and can be used for assessing illness perception in patients with chronic nonspecific LBP.

“…The internal consistency of the test scores of the MMAS and BIPQ were assessed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. An acceptable Cronbach’s alpha value is ≥0.7 [ 21 ]. Concurrent validity was assessed through the association between the MMAS-8 score and the PDC by Spearman’s correlation coefficient, and the cut-point MMAS-8 score of 6 was validated by the significant difference of the mean PDC value between the poor adherence group and the good adherence group.…”

Association between medication adherence and illness perceptions in atrial fibrillation patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants: An observational cross-sectional pilot study

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the association between medication adherence and illness perceptions, and to explore the factors associated with poor medication adherence in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients receiving direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in a real-world clinical setting.MethodsAn observational cross-sectional pilot study was conducted at a single Japanese university hospital. One hundred and twenty-nine patients who were diagnosed with AF and who were taking DOACs were recruited from outpatients between January 4th and April 25th, 2017. We evaluated medication adherence to DOACs using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) and illness perceptions using the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ). The patients’ characteristics and clinical data were collected from electronic medical records.ResultsNinety-nine (76.7%) patients (male, n = 74; mean age, 71.4±9.8 years) participated in this study. According to the MMAS-8, 21 (21.2%) of the patients were classified into the poor adherence group (MMAS-8 score of <6), and 78 (78.8%) were classified into the good adherence group (MMAS-8 score of 6–8). A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age (per year, odds ratio [OR] 0.912, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.853–0.965, p = 0.001), a history of warfarin use (OR 0.181, 95% CI 0.033–0.764, p = 0.019), duration of DOAC exposure (per 100 days, OR 1.245, 95% CI 1.084–1.460, p = 0.001), and the BIPQ emotional response score (per 1 point, OR 1.235, 95% CI 1.015–1.527, p = 0.035) were significantly associated with poor medication adherence in AF patients receiving DOACs.ConclusionPoor medication adherence to DOACs was strongly associated with a stronger emotional response (i.e. stronger feelings of anger, anxiety, and depression), as well as younger age, the absence of a history of warfarin treatment, and longer DOAC exposure. Further evaluation of the factors associated with medication adherence in AF patients and the development and execution of strategies for improving poor adherence are warranted in the real-world clinical setting.

“…This cognitive and emotional model also includes beliefs about the treatment and control of the situation. The emotional and cognitive interpretation and evaluation about the perception of illness are the determinants of their behavioural reactions, which is shaped by individuals' experiences, knowledge levels, and mental strain [43]. Therefore, per prior directions [43], we divided and validated the scale into two parts based on the emotional and cognitive perception of the threat of illness from COVID-19.…”

“…Second, cognitive threat refers to the identification of an illness threat from a particular disease, understanding its expected effects, and lacking personal control over the situation [44]. It may also contribute to the creation of anxiety disorders and psychological distress, which ultimately leads to behavioural change [41,43,47].…”

“…In this study, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) was adapted [41] to measure the perceived threat of COVID-19 (0 to 10 scale) among frontline paramedics treating patients during the current pandemic. The initial eight-item questionnaire was divided into two categories as per prior directions [43]: perceived emotional threat and perceived cognitive threat. A sample item for the perceived emotional threat was, "How much does your threat of illness from COVID-19 affect you emotionally"?…”

Perceived Threat of COVID-19 Contagion and Frontline Paramedics’ Agonistic Behaviour: Employing a Stressor–Strain–Outcome Perspective

Historically, infectious diseases have been the leading cause of human psychosomatic strain and death tolls. This research investigated the recent threat of COVID-19 contagion, especially its impact among frontline paramedics treating patients with COVID-19, and their perception of self-infection, which ultimately increases their agonistic behaviour. Based on the stressor–strain–outcome paradigm, a research model was proposed and investigated using survey-based data through a structured questionnaire. The results found that the perceived threat of COVID-19 contagion (emotional and cognitive threat) was positively correlated with physiological anxiety, depression, and emotional exhaustion, which led toward agonistic behaviour. Further, perceived social support was a key moderator that negatively affected the relationships between agonistic behaviour and physiological anxiety, depression, and emotional exhaustion. These findings significantly contributed to the current literature concerning COVID-19 and pandemic-related effects on human behaviour. This study also theorized the concept of human agonistic behaviour, which has key implications for future researchers.
