Determinants of resilience in patients with rheumatic disordersYoung, Man-chi., 楊敏智. January 2012 (has links)
Introduction
Rheumatic disease is an autoimmune disorder with an unpredictable course of
exacerbation and remission. There is no known cure for the disease at the moment.
The patients’ conditions may progressively deteriorate despite intensive therapies, and
runs an erratic course with the possibility of disfiguration and alteration in body
image. Pain, disabilities and psychological distress are common. Rheumatic patients
may respond differently to the same level of pain and physical symptoms. The
understanding of the needs of rheumatic patients and how they successfully manage
the disease and optimize psychological adjustment can help develop effective
psychosocial interventions.
Aims
The aims of the study are (1) to identify the needs of rheumatic patients and
perceptions of their disease, (2) to develop a conceptual framework for psychological
adjustment, and (3) to identify factors associated with resilience in rheumatic patients.
Methods
The present study consisted of two phases. The first phase was a focus group
interview, aiming to understand the patients’ feelings and to design a questionnaire.
The second phase was a prospective questionnaire survey that includes a baseline
study and a six-month follow-up study. Patients were recruited from support groups in
Hong Kong. The baseline questionnaire was self-administrated, and the follow-up
questionnaire was administrated by telephone interview. The self-regulation model
was chosen as the basis for the conceptual framework for psychological adjustment.
The questionnaire included demographics, illness representation, coping efforts,
appraisal of coping efforts, sense of coherence, quality of care, functional disability,
and health-related quality of life. The outcome measures were functional and
psychological health, change in adjustment, and positive and negative resilience.
Results
Having a good and caring doctor, more information on the disease, and public
understanding of the disease were the needs of rheumatic patients. The patients
perceived that the disease was chronic, cyclical, and had poor consequences. They
perceived that the disease caused great pain, stress, depression and anxiety, and
affected their daily activities, appearance, and relationship with family and friends.
Poor adjustment was associated with chronic and cyclical timeline, and poor
perception of personal and treatment control. The analysis of resilience shows that
positive perception of treatment control and disease consequence, correct
understanding of disease causes, and high sense of own value and importance to the
society, were protective. While those who lacked family support and blamed
themselves or their families to be the cause of disease, were vulnerable.
Discussion and conclusions
The present study lends support to the validity of self-regulation model in
psychological adjustment to disease, but coping efforts could only partially mediate
the relationship of illness representation to appraisal of coping efforts, implying that
the coping style might not sufficiently capture the underlying differences in individual
coping styles. An effective psychosocial intervention can be developed based on the
factors associated with better adjustment and resilience, and targeted at non-working
older patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Last but not least, support from the
community, and public understanding of the disease are important for rheumatic
patients. / published_or_final_version / Psychiatry / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

Locus of control and schizophrenic adjustment : a dimensional analysis.Beck, Howard A. January 1980 (has links)
The literature indicates that: (i) locus of control is
a multi-factorial construct; and (ii) psychological maladjustment
is associated with a generalised perception that
reinforcements are not personally controlled. Little is
known regarding the importance of the identified factors to
psychopathology. The relationship between locus of control
and adjustment is empirically well established but void of
theoretical basis. The present study proposes a bridge
between locus of control and Seligman's theory of learned
helplessness .
Forty hospitalised psychiatric patients (diagnosed
schizophrenic) and forty persons chosen randomly from a voter's
roll ("normals") were administered tests of locus of control;
namely, the Internal-External scale (Rotter, 1966). The
Internal,Powerful Others and Chance Scale (Levenson, 1972)
and the Interpersonal Trust Scale (Rotter, 1967). The
Psychotic Reaction Profile (Lorr, O'Connor and Stafford, 1960),
a behavioural questionnaire, was completed for each patient.
The results suggest that a multidimensional analysis does
not add substantially to an understanding of the relationship
between locus of control and psychological adjustment. It
is however arguable that the study casts doubt on the utility
of existing measures rather than the dimensions as such.
Support was provided for the hypothesis linking locus of control
to behavioural symptoms of learned helplessness. / Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1980.
