“…Thus, hope is thought to be a trait gained from family in early childhood and family becomes one of the crucial factors in promoting and nurturing hopeful thinking during these stages. Likewise, in a few studies perceived social support from families was found to have a buffering effect on hope (Barnum et al 1998;Hagen et al 2005;Irving et al 1997). Barnum et al (1998) also presented hope to be positively related to perceived social support in adolescents.…”

The aim of present study was to investigate the role of specific dimensions of perceived social support from family, gender, and geographic area of residence in predicting hope levels of high school students. Additionally, the factor structure of Turkish Version of the Hope Scale was reexamined due to controversial findings in Turkish literature. The sample was composed of 737 students (407 female, 330 male) from two high schools in rural and urban areas of Ankara, Turkey. Data were collected by administering the Hope Scale (Snyder et al. in J Pers Soc Psychol 60:570-585, 1991), the Perceived Social Support from Family Questionnaire (Güngör 1996), and a demographic information form. The role of independent variables in prediction of hope was investigated via Multiple Regression Analysis. Due to presence of some suppressor variables in the full model, two separate regression analyses were conducted for rural and urban areas. In the regression analysis for rural area students, informational support was the only predictor of hope levels. On the other hand, urban area students' hope levels were predicted by love-and esteem-related support, instrumental support, and gender. Lastly, the factor structure of Turkish Version of the Hope Scale was examined through conducting a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to test how well two-factor model fit to current data. Results of the CFA indicated that two-factor model was confirmed.

“…Research using such scales has shown a positive relationship between hope and HRQoL (Rustoen et al 2010), with hope consistently being described as exerting a palliative effect on the manner in which individuals experience illness and recovery (Gottschalk 1985;Moore 2005). For example, hope has been associated with less pain (Berg et al 2008;Snyder et al 2005;Groopman 2004), increases in motor functioning for those with physical disabilities (Groopman 2004), and coping with burns (Barnum et al 1998), spinal injuries (Elliot et al 1991), and blindness (Jackson et al 1998). Because of hope's palliative benefits, hope has become recognized as an important component of perceptions of health (Wiles et al 2008;Groopman 2004;Gottschalk 1985).…”

Among a sample of individuals identifying as homeless (N′ = 275), this study modeled the relationship between the psychological well-being variables of hope, life satisfaction, positive emotions, and health related quality of life (HRQoL). Specifically, covariance based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) was used to test a prior theory that life satisfaction serves as an antecedent of HRQoL with hope and positive emotions as mediators. Results indicated that the theorized CB-SEM model closely fit the observed data, with the model also serving as a robust predictor of hope, positive emotions, and HRQoL. The data suggests that life satisfaction and hope are important cognitive sets influencing positive emotional well-being with all 3 variables collectively contributing to increased perceptions of HRQoL. The study concludes with a discussion of the implications of the results on future research, particularly surrounding potential quality of life interventions for individuals facing homelessness and associated health challenges.

“…It has been used frequently in the functional assessment of pediatric pain, including both acute pain (Gidron et al, 1995;Barnum et al, 1998) and chronic pain such as headaches (e.g., Palermo and Kiska, 2005), fibromyalgia (e.g., Kashikar-Zuck et al, 2002), complex regional pain syndrome (e.g., Eccleston et al, 2004), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (e.g., Reid et al, 2005), sickle cell disease (e.g., Peterson and Palermo, 2004), recurrent abdominal pain (e.g., Robins et al, 2002;Walker et al, 2005), irritable bowel syndrome (e.g., Claar et al, 1999), and inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Tojek et al, 2002). The FDI also has served as an outcome measure in treatment intervention studies for pain patients, including a randomized clinical trial of behavioral treatment for abdominal pain (e.g., Robins et al, 2005), an evaluation of cognitive behavioral treatment for chronic pain , and an open-label trial of citalopram for treatment of recurrent abdominal pain (Campo et al, 2004).…”

The Functional Disability Inventory (FDI; Walker LS, Greene JW. The functional disability inventory: measuring a neglected dimension of child health status. J Pediatr Psychol 1991;16:39-58) assesses activity limitations in children and adolescents with a variety of pediatric conditions. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the FDI in pediatric pain patients. Participants included 596 patients with chronic abdominal pain, ages 8-17, and a subset of their parents (n = 151) who completed the FDI and measures of pain, limitations in school activities, and somatic and depressive symptoms at a clinic visit. Test-retest reliability was high at 2 weeks (child report, .74; parent-report, .64) and moderate at 3 months (child report, .48; parent report, .39). Internal consistency reliability was excellent, ranging from .86 to .91. Validity was supported by significant correlations of child-and parent-report FDI scores with measures of school-related disability, pain, and somatic symptoms. Study results add to a growing body of empirical literature supporting the reliability and validity of the FDI for functional assessment of pediatric patients with chronic pain.
