“…39 As expected, our study revealed that anxiety levels and depression were significantly related to perceived lower personal controllability and more burdensome consequences and emotional representation. Similar results were noted by Nowicka-Sauer et al 40 According to the IPQ-R, the higher the test score, the more threatening the illness perception. Significant positive correlations between IPQ-R scores and depression and anxiety were in accordance with this relation.…”

“…Moreover, exposing patients to the belief of low treatment controllability together with the opinion of low patient personal control may deprive patients of hope and decrease their real control over the disease. Considering the previously observed negative correlations between low controllability and depression or anxiety, it may also lead to an increase in patients' distress [13,14]. On the contrary, strong beliefs about treatment controllability as well as personal control would promote hope, cooperation and compliance [6,12].…”

“…The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) was used to asses five dimensions of illness perception (consequences, identity, timeline, control personal and treatment, understanding and emotional response) [16]. Recently, the reliability of the Polish version of B-IPQ was proved in a numerous group of patients including those with SLE [14]. In the students' group, a slightly modified version of B-IPQ was used.…”

“…One of the possible ways to understand the patients' perspective is to know the patients' perception of their illness as conceptualized by Leventhal and colleagues in the common-sense model (CSM) [11]. Previous research supported the application of this model to many chronic diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) [12][13][14] as well as illness-free individuals. Figueiras et al [15] used the CSM theory to examine and compare the lay participants' and patients' perceptions of AIDS, tuberculosis and skin cancer.…”

The aim of the present study was to assess and compare illness perception of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) held by 6th-year medical students and patients suffering from SLE. The study group consisted of 104 students (66 women; 63.5 %), mean age 24.7 (±1), and 64 outpatients with SLE (60 women; 93.7 %). All patients were treated at a university rheumatology outpatient clinic. Mean patients' age was 44.3 years (±12.5). Mean duration of the disease was 11 years (±6.8). The Polish version of Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) was used to assess five dimensions of illness perception. The students were asked to complete a modified version of B-IPQ designed to measure health professionals' illness perception. Significant differences were found in all but one B-IPQ scores. The students obtained significantly higher scores than the SLE patients in consequences, identity, concern and emotional response, whereas significantly lower scores in personal control, treatment control and understanding were noted among students. No differences were found in timeline scores. Medical students' perception of SLE is more threatening and more negative than that of patients'. Doctors-to-be perceive SLE as being less controllable, more burdensome and having more consequences than patients do. Additionally, they believe the disease causes more emotional concern. The article discusses possible explanations together with positive and negative aspects of the discrepancies.

“…the cronbach α coefficient was 0.76. illness perception was assessed using the Brief illness Perception Questionnaire (B-iPQ) [11]. the cronbach α coefficient of the Polish version of B-iPQ, established in our previous study among patients with chronic conditions, was 0.74 [12]. the Hospital anxiety and depression Scale (HadS) contains 7 questions assessing anxiety and an additional 7 assessing depressive symptoms.…”

Background. Systemic lupus erythematosus (Sle) is a chronic, multi-organ disease that significantly impacts patients' psychological functioning. learned helplessness (lH) and illness perception have been proven to influence patients' emotional and physical state and treatment adherence. Objectives. the study is aimed at exploring learned helplessness and its relationship with illness perception, depression and anxiety among patients with Sle. Material and methods. the participants were 59 outpatients diagnosed with Sle (55 women, mean age: 45.0 ± 11.7 years; mean Sle duration 11.1 years). the rheumatology Helplessness index (rHi), Brief illness Perception Questionnaire (B-iPQ), Hospital anxiety and depression Scale (HadS) were used. a structured interview and a review of medical files were used to gather clinical and sociodemographic data. Results. learned helplessness was significantly positively correlated with the illness perception total score (r = 0.609), as well as illness consequences (r = 0.432), identity (r = 0.385), concern (r = 0.473) and emotional response (r = 0.543). depression and anxiety levels were also significantly correlated with lH (r = 0.588 and r = 0.472, respectively). no significant associations were observed between lH and age, age at diagnosis, duration of the disease, disease activity, gender, education and employment status. Conclusions. 1. in patients with Sle, learned helplessness is related to experiencing more severe consequences and symptoms of Sle, as well as more intense concerns and negative emotions related to the disease. 2. Psychotherapeutic intervention aimed at patient empowerment and modification of negative cognitions seems vital in order to diminish negative psychological functioning. 3. treatment and self-management aimed at better symptoms control and minimizing the consequences of illness may contribute to less negative cognitive and emotional illness representations.
