“…However, similar patterns of mood disturbancecan be seen in AIDS and other chronic illness. For example, raised levels of depression are also fre quently found in rheumatoidarthritis (Zaphiropoulos & Burry, 1974), and Hinton (1973) refers to depression, tenseness,and fear of death in cancer patients. Weisman & Worden (1976) discuss the existential plight which manifests as not only thoughts of the life and death variety, but also interpretations of how one relatesto one's network of people and immediate world.…”

A sample of 26 HIV seronegative, 59 HIV seropositive asymptomatic and 7 HIV seropositive symptomatic homosexual and bisexual men were assessed over two visits, a mean of 11 months apart, using the BDI, STAI, and CIS. Significant differences emerged between the symptomatic group and the other two groups. Past psychiatric history and the somatic items in the assessments accounted for some of these differences. The seropositive asymptomatic and the seronegative groups did not differ on any of the mood or psychiatric assessments, suggesting minimal effect on psychological well-being of seroconversion in the absence of symptoms.

“…Spielherger State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STA1). The STAI consists of 40 self-report questions, graded I (almost never) to 4 (almost always), measuring A-State, a transitory state of anxiety (questions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], and A-Trait, the tendency one has to respond to situations perceived as threatening with an increase in anxiety state (questions [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. This tool was chosen because of its high internal consistency and because it possesses both concurrent and construct validity (l6,17).…”

Twenty-two patients with fibrositis, selected from a general medical outpatient population by a screening questionnaire and subsequent evaluation, were compared with age-, sex-, and clinic-matched patients without fibrositis. Although there was a high prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints in both groups, the fibrositis patients had a uniform constellation of symptoms, including axial pain, severe aching and stiffness, morning 'fatigue, and modulation by specific factors. They also had a higher incidence of tension headache and irritable bowel syndrome. The use of a dolorimeter demonstrated that fibrusitis patients had many more areas of localized tenderness than control patients, but also that fibrositis patiedts did not have diffusely diminished pain threshold and tolerance. Using the criteria of this study, fibrositis appears to be a common and readily definable syndrome within the spectrum of soft tissue rheumatism. __

“…The effects of PWB on vulnerability to mood disorders, supported by our findings, are also likely to be important. Depression is common in rheumatoid arthritis [24, 25]. When present, depression has significant consequences for coping, pain and disability [22, 26, 27, 28].…”

Background: Resilience is likely to be important in understanding psychological responses to chronic physical illnesses. This study aimed to examine one measure of resilience – Ryff’s operationalized measure of psychological well-being (PWB) – in rheumatoid arthritis. It was hypothesized that PWB would be influenced by age and gender in the same way as in community samples, and that the absence of current mood disorder would be associated with high PWB. Methods: Rheumatology clinic outpatients (n = 104) were assessed for pain, disease activity, disability, depression and anxiety. PWB was assessed using Ryff’s six-subscale model. The measured variables were used in a logistic regression analysis to model the absence of clinically important mood disorder. Results: The expected variations in PWB according to age and gender were largely absent, with the overall findings suggesting that chronic illness in general, rather than arthritis in particular, affects PWB. Significant bivariate correlations were found between depression and pain, disease activity, disability and all six PWB subscales. However, in the regression analysis, only the PWB environmental mastery subscale and self-rated disability made significant contributions to the absence of mood disturbance, and their inclusion in the regression model correctly classified 81% of the total sample. Conclusions: These results require replication in a longitudinal study, but indicate the potential value of using PWB among people with rheumatoid arthritis to screen for individuals who may be particularly vulnerable to developing depression. It might be appropriate to target such people with focused psychological interventions.
