“…Illness perceptions are conceptualised as consisting of five components: identity, cause, timeline, consequences and controllability/curability. Cardiac patient illness perceptions have been found to predict the occurrence of complications after MI (Cherrington, Moser, Lennie, & Kennedy, 2004), attendance at cardiac rehabilitation (French, Cooper, & Weinman, 2006;Whitmarsh, Koutantji, & Sidell, 2003), improved health-related quality of life (French, Lewin, Watson, & Thompson, 2005), facilitating selfefficacy with regard to behavioural change (Lau-Walker, 2006), actual behavioural change (Weinman, Petrie, Sharpe, & Walker, 2000) and have been related to depressive symptomatology (Grace et al, 2005). In the context of the important prognostic role of illness perceptions among cardiac patients, illness perceptions may play a similar role among partners which has been explored in a small number of studies.…”

Partner support facilitates successful recovery and adjustment following an acute cardiac event (myocardial infarction or coronary revascularisation), but there is limited research examining the partner experience after an acute cardiac event. A computerised literature search was conducted to identify quantitative research investigating the psychosocial impact of an acute cardiac event on the patient's partner. The research base is limited, somewhat methodologically weak and outdated in relation to advances in cardiac care, and little attention has been paid to the experience of non-Caucasian couples, same sex couples or male partners. However, we found that partners are at significant risk of experiencing distress, anxiety and depression that may extend beyond the immediate recovery phase, and may contribute to adverse patient outcomes. Partners contend with significant disruption to their daily functioning and may engage in substantial caregiving responsibilities. Partners describe a lack of social support and information which may contribute to the high levels of distress. Marital and sexual functioning can also be adversely affected. Partner coping strategies and illness perceptions may contribute to adjustment. The findings of this review reveal that partner experience may play an important role in both partner and patient adjustment to an acute cardiac event and there is considerable scope for updating and extending current knowledge of partner experience.

“…The common sense model of self-regulation in health and illness (CSM) [4] is the most widely used model to explain how people interpret and cope with current and potential health events or threats. The CSM posits that individuals facing a health threat go through several stages, including active processing of cognitive representations of the health threat (including personal ideas about disease etiology or causal beliefs) and using the representations formed to steer the development of action plans for coping with the problem [5]. The CSM explicitly states that people's cognitive representations of disease (including causal beliefs) directly influence the coping strategies they select to reduce the disease threat [4].…”

Background/Aims: There is concern that raising awareness about the role of genetics in chronic disease etiology could undermine public belief that lifestyles are important, leading to adverse effects on public health. We tested the hypothesis that people who believe genetics influence chronic disease risk are less likely to believe lifestyles play a role. Methods: Open-ended questions about cancer and heart disease risk factors were included in a population-based survey of 1,747 British adults. Responses were coded for causal beliefs about genetics and lifestyle (smoking, diet, alcohol, exercise). Results: One third of the respondents identified genetic factors as influencing cancer (35%) and heart disease (36%) risk. Identifying genetic risk was associated with female gender, older age and education for both diseases, as well as with family history for heart disease. Individuals identifying genetic influences on cancer risk were more likely to identify diet (p < 0.001) and exercise (p < 0.05), and mentioned more lifestyle factors overall (p < 0.05), independent of demographics and family history. Patterns were similar for heart disease. Conclusion: People who recognize that genetics influence chronic disease risk appear more, not less, likely to recognize the role of lifestyles, contradicting suggestions that the public takes an ‘either/or' view of the etiology of these potentially preventable diseases.

“…Nessa investigação, realizada em Taiwan, Noruega, Porto Rico, Colômbia e Estados Unidos, a percepção de que pouco poderia ser feito para controlar a doença esteve associado com menos ações de autocuidado efetivas (Reynolds et al, 2009). Associação entre autoefi cácia e percepção de controle da doença também foi identifi cada em outras enfermidades, como doença cardíaca (Lau-Walker, 2006;Paryad, Hosseinzade, Kazemnejad, & Asiri, 2013) e diabetes em adolescentes (Griva, Myers, & Newman, 2000). Isso é bastante coerente, já que pessoas que se sentem capazes de prosseguir e acreditam que o tratamento ajuda no controle da doença são naturalmente mais propensas a ingerir a medicação conforme recomendação médica.…”

ResumoA percepção de doença de pessoas que vivem com HIV/aids (PVHA) é uma variável importante, ainda pouco estudada em âmbito mundial. Objetivou-se investigar a associação entre percepção de doença e ansiedade, depressão e autoefi cácia em pessoas que vivem com HIV/aids. A amostra foi constituída de 28 PVHA, que responderam aos questionários sociodemográfi co e médico-clínico, Questionário de Percepção de Doenças Versão Breve (Brief IPQ), Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (HADS) e Escala de Autoefi cácia para Seguir Prescrição Antirretroviral. Procedeu-se a análises estatísticas dos dados, sendo realizados testes de correlação de Spearman. Observou-se correlação positiva estatisticamente signifi cativa entre percepção de doença e ansiedade (r =0,64; p<0,01) e depressão (r =0,68; p<0,01). Também foi identifi cada correlação negativa estatisticamente signifi cativa entre percepção de doença e autoefi cácia (rs= -0,41; p<0,05), sugerindo que quanto menor a autoefi cácia percebida para aderir aos medicamentos antirretrovirais, maior a percepção de ameaça imposta pela doença. Conclui-se que há associação entre percepção de doença e variáveis psicológicas (ansiedade, depressão e autoeficácia) em PVHA. Palavras-chave: Percepção de doença, variáveis psicológicas, HIV/aids. Association between Illness Perception and Anxiety, Depression and Self-Effi cacy in People with HIV/AIDS AbstractThe illness perception of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) is an important variable, poorly studied worldwide.

The sample consisted of 28 PLWHA, that responded to sociodemographic and medical-clinical questionnaires, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief IPQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Self-effi cacy for Following Anti-retroviral Prescription Scale. The authors conducted statistical analyzes of the data, been carried Spearman correlation tests. Was observed a statistically signifi cant positive correlation between illness perception and anxiety (r = .64; p <.01) and depression (r = .68; p <.01).

Predicting self‐efficacy using illness perception components: A patient survey

Abstract: A significant relationship exists between illness representation and self-efficacy. There is potential to integrate both approaches to the assessment of psychosocial factors to provide effective individualized care in cardiac rehabilitation.
