“…Drawing on the results of these studies, Taylor (2019) stated that the psychological effects of the next pandemic would be more pronounced, more widespread, and would last longer than those of past epidemics. As a matter of fact, in studies conducted with a large sample in China, where COVID-19 was first seen, one-third of the participants reported that they were experiencing psychological distress such as depressive symptoms, anxiety and disturbed sleep (Huang & Zhao, 2020;Kwok et al, 2020;Qian et al, 2020;Qiu et al, 2020a;Wang et al, 2020). Similar findings were found in studies conducted in other countries (Cerami et al, 2020;Gritsenko et al, 2020;Shigemura et al, 2020;Sorokin et al, 2020).…”

“…These perceptions have been reported to be related to levels of anxiety and fear (Leung et al, 2005;Karademas et al, 2013). The most comprehensive framework for perceptions and beliefs related to the process of illness threats of illness is the common-sense model of illness self-regulation (CSM), which examines illness representations approach with illness representations (Benyamini & Karademas, 2019;Leventhal et al, 1998). Illness representations are considered to be cognitive structures which are formed in order to make sense of diseases and their progression (Hagger & Orbell, 2003).…”

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led individuals to experience psychological distress as a result of their perceptions of the disease. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with these perceptions, the sources of information about the pandemic that may have contributed to them, and the level anxiety felt by adults living in Turkey in the initial phase of COVID-19, with a primary focus on generalized anxiety. The study had a web-based cross-sectional survey design 482 (327 female, 155 male) Turkish responders completed the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) self-reported questionnaire, a measurement tool related to their perceptions of COVID-19 and questions about their sources of information about the pandemic between 3 and 19 April, 2020. Women experienced higher levels of anxiety than men. Those with severe symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) believed that the COVID-19 pandemic would have a long duration, stated that the risk of transmission had had serious effects on their lives, felt little personal control with regard to the risk of transmission and did not believe that existing treatments would be effective against the risk of transmission. Moreover, those with severe GAD symptoms had little comprehension of how the disease was transmitted. Finally, it was concluded that those with severe GAD symptoms used the internet and, in particular, Instagram as their main sources of information about the pandemic. Although the anxiety levels were found to be moderate in general, women were more vulnerable. Using the internet and, in particular, Instagram as sources of information affected individuals' perceptions of the pandemic, and led to psychological distress.

“…The model is also evolving, encompassing additional constructs and processes that more effectively and comprehensively explain the processes by which patients' make sense of health threats and regulate their responses (e.g., Benyamini & Karademas, 2019;Cameron et al, 2005;Durazo & Cameron, 2019;Hagger, Koch, et al, 2017;Karademas et al, 2011;Leventhal et al, 2016;Moss-Morris, 2013;Orbell et al, 2006;Orbell et al, 2015;Orbell & Phillips, 2019;Phillips et al, 2013). Many of these additions represent formal specification of Leventhal et al's (1980) original proposals, while others seek to extend the model to increase its scope and predictive validity.…”

The common sense model of illness self-regulation outlines the dynamic processes by which individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to health threats and illness-related information. An extended version of the model is proposed, which specifies additional constructs and processes to explain how lay perceptions of health threats impact coping responses and health-related outcomes. The extended model provides detail on: (a) the mediating process by which individuals' illness representations relate to illness outcomes through adoption of coping procedures; (b) how illness representations are activated by presentation of healththreatening stimuli; (c) behavioral and treatment beliefs as determinants of coping procedures and illness outcomes alongside illness representations; and (d) effects of moderators of relations between cognitive representations, coping procedures, and illness outcomes. The extended model sets an agenda for future research that addresses knowledge gaps regarding how individuals represent and cope with health threats, and may inform effective illnessmanagement interventions. We identify the kinds of research required to provide robust evidence for the extended model propositions. We call for research that employs incipient illness samples, utilizes designs that capture dynamic processes in the model such as crosslagged panel and intervention designs, and adopts illness-specific measures of coping procedures rather than relying on generic instruments.

The common sense model of illness self-regulation outlines the dynamic processes by which individuals perceive, interpret, respond, and adjust, psychologically and behaviorally, to health threats and illness-related information. We present a revised version of the model that formally operationalizes key processes in the model and incorporates additional constructs and processes to provide a comprehensive explanation of how lay perceptions of health threats and illnesses impact coping responses and health-related outcomes. Our revised model provides detail on: (a) the mediating process by which individuals’ cognitive and emotional representations of illnesses and health threats relate to illness outcomes through adoption of coping strategies; (b) representations of health threats and illnesses as schematically organized and activated by presentation of health-threatening stimuli; (c) behavioral and treatment beliefs as determinants of coping responses and illness outcomes independent of representations of health threats and illnesses; and (d) effects of salient moderators (e.g., optimism, perfectionism, trait negative affectivity, emotional representations) of relations between cognitive representations, coping responses, and illness outcomes. Our revised model sets an agenda for future research that addresses knowledge gaps regarding how individuals represent and cope with illnesses and health threats, and augments the evidence base that may inform effective and optimally-efficient illness-management interventions. We also identify the specific kinds of research required to provide robust evidence for the revised model propositions. We call for research paradigms that employ incipient illness samples, utilize prospective cross-lagged and intervention designs, and adopt illness-specific measures of coping behaviors and self-management actions rather than reliance on generic instruments.
