“…These findings add to the substantial and growing evidence base that allergies significantly impact patients’ QoL . Longer timeline perceptions have been reported in those with chronic illnesses such as asthma and diabetes compared with myocardial infarction and pulmonary tuberculosis . Similar findings were found by van der Velde et al in their study looking for Food Allergy QoL in food‐allergic adolescent and compared with their parent's perception showing timeline item the highest score followed by treatment control in both groups.…”

Background: Our understanding of how adolescents perceive and cope with their allergic condition/s is limited. This study used the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) in a group of adolescents with allergies and correlates the findings with demographic and clinical conditions. Methods:In this retrospective questionnaire-based study, we analysed 100 valid questionnaires from adolescents (11-18 years) attending our service after receiving management and treatment for their allergic condition/s. Results:The overall BIPQ score was 4.8 (IQR 3.6-5.6). The highest item-related scores were for "timeline" (illness duration) followed by "concern." The lowest scores were found for "coherence/understanding," demonstrating that adolescents do not perceive that they have a sound understanding of their condition/s. We found a significant difference in the overall BIPQ scores between the genders and in the emotional representation score, with females showing a highest score. Older adolescents reported a more chronic perception of the allergic disease/s. Conclusion:Our results suggest that a better understanding and support of the allergic condition/s in adolescents, particularly in females, are likely an important target for intervention intended to improve their quality of life. BIPQ can be used as adjunct to routine allergy clinic appointments for further exploration of the wider impact of allergies on adolescents' lives.

“…It has been used in studies of illness adaptation in patients with a wide range of conditions, including psychosis [Gómez-de-Regil, 2014], tuberculosis [Pesut et al, 2014], musculoskeletal disorders [Leysen et al, 2014], and others [Borge et al, 2014;Krauskopf et al, 2014]. The revised form of the IPQ (IPQ-R) was developed in New Zealand and England [Moss-Morris et al, 2002] in a sample of 711 patients with asthma, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pain, acute pain, myocardial infarct, multiple sclerosis, and AIDS/HIV.…”

Aims: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that, for patients with dental caries, the Spanish version of the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire for Oral Health (IPQ-R-OH) has 7 dimensions, including personal and treatment control, timeline-acute/chronic and timeline-cyclical, illness coherence, consequences, and emotional representations. Methods: A Spanish adaptation of the IPQ-R, with a self-reported 38-item scale, was developed. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted using data from 520 patients with dental caries attending the Dental Clinic at Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Pasto, Colombia. Results: Exploratory factor analysis revealed 7 dimensions with 36 items (2 items were removed because of poor factor loadings or discriminant ability). The internal consistency coefficients of each factor ranged from 0.72 to 0.91, and all item loadings were >0.52. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a 7-factor model with 36 items had superior fit compared to the 38-item original model: χ² = 1,784.291 (df = 573, p < 0.001); nonnormal fit index = 0.941; comparative fit index = 0.946; root mean square error of approximation = 0.062 (90% CI = 0.057-0.066); standardized root mean square residual = 0.072; and Akaike information criterion = 638.291. Control (integrated by items from personal control, treatment control, and timeline-acute factors) and hopelessness (PC15 and PC17) were the 2 reconfigured factors that were identified. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the modified 36-item model has satisfactory reliability and construct factorial validity; therefore, it could be a valuable instrument in the screening of illness perceptions in oral health.

“…One way to examine illness perceptions in POAG would be to ask patients directly and subject the responses to qualitative analysis [7,11]. Alternatively, patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) have been used to quantify illness perceptions in chronic conditions [14,15]. Results from PROMs measuring illness perceptions have been linked to self-management behaviours, including attendence to follow-up appointments [16] and have also been shown to be related to decline in social and physical functioning [17,18] in a variety of conditions.…”

Illness perceptions in people newly diagnosed with glaucoma and ocular hypertension

Background/aimsTo determine whether self-reported illness perceptions in newly diagnosed patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) are more negative compared with peers who have lived with their diagnosis for more than 2 years.MethodsA cross-sectional study of 58 newly diagnosed patients with POAG and OHT recruited at their first clinic visit. Electronic patient records were used to identify similar patients (n=58, related by age and severity of visual field loss) who had their diagnosis for >2 years. All participants completed the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), EQ5D general health measure and Type D Personality Scale (DS14).ResultsAverage BIPQ scores were similar for people newly diagnosed with POAG and POAG diagnosed >2 years and were no different to newly diagnosed OHT and OHT diagnosed >2 years POAG (p=0.46). An analysis correcting for personality type (DS14) and general health (EQ5D) indicated newly diagnosed patients with POAG to have marginally better illness perceptions on individual BIPQ items quantifying impact on life in general, experience of symptoms and ‘understanding’ of their condition (all p<0.01). In contrast, patients with POAG with a diagnosis >2 years understood better their condition to be long-term (p<0.01).ConclusionsSome illness perceptions differed between newly diagnosed people and patients living with their diagnosis for >2 years. Illness perception for people with manifest glaucoma and at risk of glaucoma (OHT) were similar; the latter might benefit from an intervention at diagnosis that highlights the better prognosis for OHT compared with POAG.
