使用内隐模型疾病问卷(IMIQ)从三个样本中收集数据,以评估常识性疾病陈述的自我调节模型中所描述的疾病陈述。确定了一个因素结构,显示了一些相似的常识模型。这种结构被用来检查疾病的学生和病人的陈述有关三种疾病-类风湿性关节炎(RA),多发性硬化症(MS),和人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)。不同疾病和应答状态(患者与学生)的代表性不同。学生评价个人有更多的个人责任RA或MS比患者,此外,患者/学生之间的评分差异是更大的MS比RA。患者比学生更了解RA和MS症状的可变性。这项研究表明IMIQ作为评估疾病认知的工具的价值,并表明疾病表征作为个人经验和个人相关性的函数而不同。
Data were collected from three samples using the Implicit Models of Illness Questionnaire (IMIQ) to assess illness representations as described in the self-regulation model of common sense illness representations. A factor structure was identified which displayed some similarities to the common sense model. This structure was used to examine illness representations of students and patients concerning three illnesses—rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Representations differed across illnesses and respondent status (patient vs. student). Students rate individuals as having more personal responsibility for RA or MS than did patients; moreover, the difference between patient/student ratings was greater with respect to MS than it was for RA. Patients were more aware of the variable nature of RA and MS symptoms than were students. This study demonstrates the value of the IMIQ as a tool for assessing illness cognitions and suggests that illness representations differ as a function of personal experience and personal relevance.
