“…15 Again, consequence beliefs were found to predict compliance in a study of patients with hypercholesterolaemia. 16 A recent meta-analysis that looked at studies using the self-regulatory model, but not necessarily the IPQ, showed a correlation between specific problem focused coping strategies (including attendance at appointments and compliance) and perceived controllability. 14 Although the number of studies that have used the self-regulatory model through the IPQ (and IPQ-R) and BMQ, findings are likely to be different in different illnesses 13 and only some studies have considered compliance or patient outcomes.…”

Patient compliance in hypertension: role of illness perceptions and treatment beliefs

2004

Despite many years of study, questions remain about why patients do or do not take medicines and what can be done to change their behaviour. Hypertension is poorly controlled in the UK and poor compliance is one possible reason for this. Recent questionnaires based on the self-regulatory model have been successfully used to assess illness perceptions and beliefs about medicines. This study was designed to describe hypertensive patients' beliefs about their illness and medication using the self-regulatory model and investigate whether these beliefs influence compliance with antihypertensive medication. We recruited 514 patients from our secondary care population. These patients were asked to complete a questionnaire that included the Beliefs about Medicines and Illness Perception Questionnaires. A case note review was also undertaken. Analysis shows that patients who believe in the necessity of medication are more likely to be compliant (odds ratio (OR)) 3.06 (95% CI 1.74-5.38), Po0.001). Other important predictive factors in this population are age ), Po0.001), emotional response to illness (OR 0.65 (0.47-0.90), P ¼ 0.01) and belief in personal ability to control illness (OR 0.59 (0.40-0.89), P ¼ 0.01). Beliefs about illness and about medicines are interconnected; aspects that are not directly related to compliance influence it indirectly. The self-regulatory model is useful in assessing patients health beliefs. Beliefs about specific medications and about hypertension are predictive of compliance. Information about health beliefs is important in achieving concordance and may be a target for intervention to improve compliance.

show abstract

“…Examples of mediation processes in social cognitive models applied in health contexts abound. In the common sense model of illness, for example, impact of illness beliefs such as serious consequences or perceived control on illness outcomes such as illness status or functioning is proposed to be mediated by coping procedures to manage the illness threat (Hagger and Orbell, 2003;Leventhal et al, 2011). In the theory of planned behavior, an individual's intention to engage in a health behavior is proposed to mediate the effects of attitudes (personal beliefs about outcomes), subjective norms (normative beliefs regarding behavioral engagement), and perceived behavioral control (beliefs about capacity to engage in the behavior) on actual behavioral engagement (Ajzen, 1991;Armitage and Conner, 2001).…”

“…Many studies have employed explicit self-report measures and used correlational methods to explore the relationship of illness representations to the self-management process [6,7,8]. One recent development is illness-perception profiling, in which multiple illness representation dimensions are considered simultaneously to produce 'profiles' of representations that reflect higher or lower illness threat and are associated with different illness outcomes.…”

Background. Research has demonstrated that implicit models of illness can be activated by priming techniques. Purpose. We tested the hypothesis that following a supraliminal? prime for the common cold, illness-related schematic information would be more accessible when the illness is 'in-season' than when it is 'out-of-season'. Methods. A 2(common cold vs. neutral prime) X 2(in-season vs. out-of-season) experimental design. Participants (N=85) were primed prior to completing a modified Stroop color-naming task to assess accessibility of implicit illness related information. Results. Moderated linear regression of response latency to common cold words on the independent variables revealed the predicted main effect of prime and significant two-way prime X seasonality interaction effect. Illness-related information was more accessible in participants primed when the common cold was in-season than when it was not in-season. Conclusions. Social-environment factors such as seasonality makes specific illness schema more salient and affects responses to illness-related stimuli.
