“…The analyses performed revealed that the fit of the one-factor model of the BIP-Q5 was better than the two-factor model, showing the validity of the unidimensional model for evaluating the perception of threat from COVID-19. This result coincides with previous studies that have tested the validity and reliability of the BIP-Q5 in an adolescent Spanish population [24], and also with a larger number of studies done with adult populations in other countries using the brief version of the IPQ (BIP-Q) [22]. However, although correlations between residuals in the model enabled us to identify opportunities for improving the instrument, (mainly Item 3 since it was below 0.60 on most of the items on the questionnaire i.e., Items 1, 2, 4, and 5), the test-retest values were optimum, explaining the total for the scale of 43.87 of the variance in perception of the disease.…”

Compared to the study by Valero-Moreno et al [24], internal consistency of the Spanish version adapted to COVID-19 found with the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was acceptable, but somewhat lower.…”

“…The higher the score is, the greater the perception of the illness as a threat. This brief version of the questionnaire has adequate psychometric properties [24]. The BIP-Q has also shown acceptable reliability indices with large-scale adult populations in several different countries [16,23,28,29].…”

“…The original questionnaire measures identity, cause, timeline, consequences, and control/cure. Studies have proven the usefulness of both the original version and the brief questionnaire for exploring perception of the disease in different areas of health [12,16,23,24]. Later, Moss-Morris et al [17] revised the original questionnaire to extend it to the cognitive and affective dimensions of disease perception in the Illness Perception Questionnaire Revised (IPQ-R) with 70 items.…”

The ravages caused by the disease known as COVID-19 has led to a worldwide healthcare and social emergency requiring an effective combined effort from everyone to reduce contagion. Under these circumstances, the perception of the disease is going to have a relevant role in the individual's psychological adjustment. However, at the present time there is no validated instrument for evaluating adult perception of threat from COVID-19. Considering the importance of perception or representation of the disease in a state of social alert, our study intended to validate an instrument measuring the psychological process of the disease caused by the coronavirus . In view of the above, this study evaluated the factor structure and reliability of the version of the Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ) for COVID-19 in a sample of adults. The sample consisted of 1014 Spanish adults (67.2% women and 32.8% men). The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a unidimensional model of the scale, which was the one that showed the best fit and explained 43.87% of the variance. This brief version has adequate psychometric properties and may be used to evaluate the perception of threat from COVID-19 in an adult Spanish population. The validation of this instrument contributes to progress in representation of COVID-19 in our culture.

Objectives: Analyze the relationship between family styles and quality of life (QoL) in adolescents with bronchial asthma and study the influence of self-esteem as a protective factor and threat perception as a risk factor.Methods: Family styles, QoL, perceived threat of the disease, and self-esteem were assessed in a total of 150 adolescents diagnosed with bronchial asthma with ages ranging from 12 to 16 years (M = 13.28; SD = 1.29), 60.7% being male. Descriptive statistics and mean comparisons were conducted according to the level of selfesteem. Relationships between variables were also studied using Pearson's correlations, and finally, the mediating role of self-esteem and the perceived threat of the disease was assessed using PROCESS.Results: Adolescents shown healthy family characteristics (high scores on affect and parental mood and low scores on psychological control) and high scores on QoL.Thirty-five percent of adolescents showed low self-esteem and a tendency to underestimate the disease. There are existing relationships between family styles and QoL; thus, healthy family characteristics (affection, parental mood, autonomy promotion) were positively associated with QoL, while psychological control was negatively associated with QoL. Disease threat and self-esteem mediated the relationship between family styles and adolescent QoL. Disease threat was negatively, and self-esteem was positively associated with QoL.Conclusions: Self-esteem and family support are protective factors for the wellbeing of adolescents with bronchial asthma; however, the high perceived threat of the disease can have negative consequences for the adolescent's health and negatively impact their QoL.
