“…Illness perceptions are defined as cognitive and emotional representations or beliefs that an individual has about an illness, which is developed through the information that the individual receives from formal and informal resources [9]. It is well known that such perceptions play important roles in influencing health behaviours and mental health outcomes [10][11][12][13]. As stated in the Leventhal's Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation [14], an infection outbreak can activate an individual's schema or perception of the illness.…”

Background The negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic on public mental health can be persistent and substantial over a long period of time, but little is known regarding what psychological factors or processes can buffer such impact. The present study aimed to examine the mediating roles of coping, psychological flexibility and prosociality in the impacts of perceived illness threats toward COVID-19 on mental health. Method Five-hundred and fourteen Hong Kong citizens (18 years or above) completed an online survey to measure illness perceptions toward COVID-19, coping, psychological flexibility, prosociality, and mental health, together with their socio-demographic variables. Structural equation modelling was used to explore the explanatory model that was the best-fit to illustrate the relationships between these constructs. Results Serial mediation structural equation model showed that only psychological flexibility (unstandardised beta coefficient, β = − 0.12, 95% CI [− 0.20, − 0.02], p = 0.031) and prosociality (unstandardised β = 0.04, 95% CI [0.01, 0.08], p = 0.001) fully mediated the relationship between illness perceptions toward COVID-19 and mental health. In addition, psychological flexibility exerted a direct effect on prosociality (standardised β = 0.22, 95% CI [0.12, 0.32], p < 0.001). This best-fit model explained 62% of the variance of mental health. Conclusions Fostering psychological flexibility and prosocial behaviour may play significant roles in mitigating the adverse effects of COVID-19 and its perceived threats on public mental health.

“…Our study provides the first qualitative data on the impact of the perceptions of family diabetes history and experiences on diabetes illness representations. The current study also expands the literature on illness representations of diabetes; a recent scoping review of studies exploring type 2 diabetes illness representations, as defined by Leventhal's CSM, reported no studies that examined the impact of family history and experience with diabetes [20]. Our findings showed that a family history of diabetes diagnosis and family members' experiences with the illness play an important role in individuals' illness representations, specifically for the attributes of causes, consequences, and controllability, also providing further support for the multigenerational legacy of diabetes theory [5][6][7].…”

“I had no other choice but to catch it too”: the roles of family history and experiences with diabetes in illness representations

et al. 2020

Background: A family history of diabetes and family members' experiences with diabetes may influence individuals' beliefs and expectations about their own diabetes. No qualitative studies have explored the relationship between family history and experiences and individuals' diabetes illness representations. Methods: Secondary data analysis of 89 exploratory, semi-structured interviews with adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes seeking care in an urban health system. Participants had a recent diabetes-related ED visit/hospitalization or hemoglobin A1c > 7.5%. Interviews were conducted until thematic saturation was achieved. Demographic data were collected via self-report and electronic medical record review. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded using a conventional content analysis approach. References to family history and family members' experiences with diabetes were analyzed using selected domains of Leventhal's Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation. Results: Participants cited both genetic and behavioral family history as a major cause of their diabetes. Stories of relatives' diabetes complications and death figured prominently in their discussion of consequences; however, participants felt controllability over diabetes through diet, physical activity, and other self-care behaviors. Conclusions: Findings supported an important role of family diabetes history and experience in development of diabetes illness representations. Further research is needed to expand our understanding of the relationships between these perceptions, self-management behaviors, and outcomes. Family practice providers, diabetes educators and other team members should consider expanding assessment of current family structure and support to also include an exploration of family history with diabetes, including which family members had diabetes, their self-care behaviors, and their outcomes, and how this history fits into the patient's illness representations.

“…Low-risk perception and disregard for the consequences of their behaviors subject patients to complications, including poor problem solving, poor emotional processing, and heightened irritability, which undermine their adherence to self-care instructions and treatment regimen [21]. Accordingly, in order to enable patients to control their own blood sugar and experience fewer consequences as a result of their diabetes patients' perception of their illness should be modified through education and consultation [22].…”

Background: The present study aims to investigate the correlation between resilience, self-efficacy, and illness perception in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the south of Iran. Materials and methods: The present study is a crosssectional work conducted on 405 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were selected via convenience sampling from clinics in the south of Iran, from December 2019 to July 2020. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of four sections: a demographics survey, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Lev's Self-efficacy Scale, and Broadbent's Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ). Data analysis was performed in SPSS 22 software using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis at a p < 0.05 significance level. Results: The results of the study showed that there were significant positive correlations between the participants' resilience and self-efficacy (r = 0.78, p < 0.001), resilience and illness perception (r = 0.57, p < 0.001), and self-efficacy and illness perception (r = 0.76, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The findings of the present study show that there is a positive correlation between resilience and self-efficacy and illness perception in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. patients with diabetes who can successfully cope with the traumatic conditions caused by their illness and have confidence in their ability to perform self-care activities have a more positive view of the manageability of their condition. Therefore, healthcare policymakers and nurses can use interventions designed to enhance resilience and self-efficacy in order to improve diabetic patients' illness perception and management.
