Symptoms of health anxiety in obsessive–compulsive disorder: Relationship with treatment outcome and metacognition

“…neuroticism, somatosensory amplification and illness cognition. In a community sample Barenbrügge, Glöckner-Rist, and Rist (2013) identified a strong association between positive and negative metacognitions and health anxiety. Clinically a number of studies have also identified that a change in metacognition is associated with symptom reduction in both OCD and health anxiety, when metacognition is targeted directly (Fisher & Wells, 2008;Rees & van Koesveld, 2008;Bailey & Wells, 2014) and not targeted directly (Buwalda, Bouman, & Van Duijn, 2008;Solem, Håland, Vogel, Hansen, & Wells, 2009).…”

Metacognitive beliefs moderate the relationship between catastrophic misinterpretation and health anxiety

“…A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t Wells 2013; Barenbrügge, Glöckner-Rist, & Rist ,2013;Bouman & Meijar, 1999;Kaur, Butow, & Thewes, 2011). In testing for metacognitive predictors and moderators we aimed to control for specific psychological variables that might be a confounding source of the relationships observed.…”

“…In a further experimental study exploring the effect of situational threat on attentional bias in the context of health anxiety, Kaur, Butow, and Sharp (2013) found metacognition was positively associated with an attentional bias to threat whereas somatosensory amplification was not. In an online community survey study (N=1,246), Barenbrügge, Glöckner-Rist, and Rist (2013) identified that both positive and negative metacognitive beliefs were independently associated with facets of health anxiety commonly conceptualised in the health anxiety literature (e.g., illness beliefs, somatic complaints and frequent medical consultations). Bailey and Wells (2013) demonstrated that metacognition was strongly associated with health anxiety and explained additional variance over and above established correlates associated with this disorder; illness cognition, somatosensory amplification and neuroticism.…”

Development and initial validation of a measure of metacognitive beliefs in health anxiety: The MCQ-HA

“…Bouman and Meijer (1999) identified that the MCQ subscale of cognitive self-consciousness was a positive predictor of extreme health anxiety, hypochondriasis. Barenbrügge, Glöckner-Rist, and Rist (2013) identified that both negative and positive metacognitive beliefs were strongly and positively associated with all aspects of health anxiety. Bailey and Wells (2013) also identified that metacognitive beliefs were strongly associated with health anxiety and had predictive power over and above A Measure of Metacognitive Beliefs in Health Anxiety 3 3 other correlates associated with this disorder, such as illness cognition and somatosensory amplification.…”
