慢性病患者必须适应新的生活环境，并管理对个人健康的持续威胁。患者经常相互比较，这可能会影响他们的心理和身体健康。一个问题是，健康心理学家是否可以制定干预措施，从战略上促进使用此类比较来优化调整。本文批判性地回顾了使用选择、叙述和反应方法进行研究中患者比较的证据。讨论的重点是经验文献中的差距，并介绍了一些新的基本概念，在社会比较，这可能会推进知识的过程中的医疗病人。还提供了建议，需要通知有效的社会比较干预措施的未来设计的研究类型。
The chronically ill patient must adjust to new life circumstances and manage ongoing threats to personal health. Patients often make comparisons with each other, which can have effects on their psychological and physical well-being. One question is whether health psychologists can develop interventions to strategically facilitate the use of such comparisons to optimise adjustment. This paper critically reviews evidence on patients' comparisons in studies using selection, narration and reaction methods. Discussion focuses on gaps in the empirical literature and describes some new basic concepts in social comparison, which may advance knowledge about the process in medical patients. Recommendations also are provided about the kinds of studies needed to inform the future design of effective social comparison interventions.
