“…Although the questionnaire has been translated into 36 languag- 78 health psychology report es, there are only a few published adaptation studies (Broadbent et al, 2015). We managed to find a cohesive study in Spanish (Pacheco-Huergo et al, 2012), Danish (Raaij, Schröder, Maissan, Pool, & Wittink, 2012), Dutch (Hallegraeff, Schans, van der Krijnen, & Greef, 2013) and Farsi (Bazzazian & Besharat, 2010).…”

Background This study presents the Polish validation of the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, a nine-item scale which was constructed to assess the cognitive and emotional representations of illness among Polish patients. This tool is derived from the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation of Health and Illness. Participants and procedure This study included 923 chronically ill people with the following diseases: eczema (E), bronchial asthma (BA), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Hashimoto’s disease (HD), diabetes type II (D), acne (A), glaucoma and cataract (G, C), HIV/AIDS, ischaemic heart disease (IHD), psoriasis (P), breast and stomach cancer (C), and multiple sclerosis (MS). Test–retest reliability was assessed in 358 patients with selected chronic illnesses. Concurrent validity was assessed by correlating Kurtzke’s EDSS and the Brief IPQ in 140 MS patients. Discriminant validity was verified by comparing means for the tool among four groups of patients. Results The Polish version of the Brief IPQ showed good test–retest reliability. The scale also demonstrates good concurrent validity in MS patients. The discriminant validity of the Brief IPQ was supported by its ability to distinguish among different illnesses. Conclusions The Brief IPQ is a good, short and easy to use tool for assessing the perceptions of illness among Polish patients.

“…Data were collected using a three part self‐rated questionnaire: (i) demographic and health related characteristics (age, sex, marriage status, education level, income, family living status, duration of illness, history of hospitalization over the past 6 months); (ii) the Persian version of the Perceived Stress Scale‐14 (PSS‐14) (Maroufizadeh, Zareyan, & Sigari, ); and (iii) the Persian version of the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief IPQ) (Bazzazian & Besharat, ).…”

“…One item assesses understanding of the illness, and one open‐ended response asks respondents to list the three most important causal factors for their illness. Bazzazian and Besharat () demonstrated the construct validity of the Persian version of the Brief IPQ using confirmatory factor analysis. Moreover, test–retest reliability of the eight subscales ranged from .50 to .75 in the present study (Cronbach's α).…”

Psychosocial risk factors, such as perceived stress, not only increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, but also act as barriers for treatment adherence and cardiac rehabilitation. In this study, we examined the predictive role of perceptions for illness to perceived stress in Iranian patients participating in a cardiac rehabilitation program. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2017 to determine correlations of demographic variables and domains of illness perception with perceived stress, and to develop a predictive model for perceived stress. In total, 150 patients with cardiovascular disease, who were admitted to a cardiac rehabilitation center, completed the questionnaires. (i) demographic and health-related characteristics; (ii) the Perceived Stress Scale-14; and (iii) the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. The mean perceived stress was 16.2 (8.4), and five illness perception subscalestimeline, personal control, treatment control, understanding and emotional responsewere associated with increased perceived stress. Variables in the multi-variate predictive model accounted for 48% of the total variance in perceived stress. The results demonstrated the value of assessing and managing the patients' perceptions of illness to reduce their perceived stress, which could support adherence to cardiac rehabilitation programs.

“…Similarly, B-IPQ has been validated for different conditions and languages [29][30][31][32][33][34], although only lately translated to Swedish for use in adolescents with ADHD [14]. The B-IPQ [21] covers five domains: identity, timeline, cause, control and consequences [35][36][37][38][39].…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of Swedish translations of the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire-Specific (BMQ-Specific) and Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) for use in adolescents with ADHD. Methods: Forward and backward translations of the BMQ-Specific and B-IPQ scales to Swedish were conducted and reviewed by adolescents with ADHD and professionals. The validity and reliability of both questionnaires were investigated in a cross-sectional study of 101 adolescents (13-17 years) on a long-term prescription of ADHD medication recruited from two child and adolescent psychiatric outpatient clinics in Sweden. Results: Regarding the BMQ-Specific, principal component analysis (PCA) loadings confirmed the previously defined components of Specific-Necessity and Specific-Concern. The PCA for B-IPQ revealed two components, the first one, B-IPQ Consequences, captured questions regarding perceptions of the implication of having ADHD (items 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8) and the second one, B-IPQ-Control, the perceptions of the capability to manage the ADHD disorder (items 3, 4 and 7). The Cronbach alpha coefficients for BMQ-Specific-Necessity scale was a ¼ 0.80, for BMQ-Specific-Concern scale a ¼ 0.75, B-IPQ Consequences a ¼ 0.74 and for B-IPQ-Control a ¼ 0.44. Conclusions: The present results prove the Swedish translation of BMQ-Specific and B-IPQ to be valid and reliable for utilization in adolescents with ADHD. The PCA confirmed the original components for BMQ-Specific and the recent findings of two main B-IPQ components describing emotional and cognitive implications versus the capability for self-care maintenance of ADHD.
