目的。本研究的目的是探讨自我评价过程对类风湿性关节炎 (RA) 患者心理健康的影响。方法。该研究采用纵向研究设计，有 4 个数据收集点。参与者是 227 名最近诊断为 RA 的成年人。通过邮寄问卷和电话访谈收集数据。评估了心理健康的两个维度——积极情感和消极情感。结果。我们发现，在认为被评估的能力非常重要的参与者中，在时间 1 时较高的满意度与在时间 2 和时间 4 时较少的消极情感相关。然而，满意度在任何时间点都与积极情感无关。结论。研究结果表明，对与疾病相关的能力的不满会加剧心理困扰。研究结果还强调需要进行研究来检验积极情绪在适应 RA 中所起的作用。
Objective.The purpose of this study was to examine the effect that self‐evaluation processes have on psychologic well‐being among individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods.The study used a longitudinal research design with 4 data collection points. Participants were 227 adults with recently diagnosed RA. Data were collected via mailed questionnaire and telephone interview. Two dimensions of psychologic well‐being were assessed—positive affect and negative affect.Results.We found that, among participants who viewed the abilities being evaluated as very important, greater satisfaction at time 1 was associated with less negative affect at time 2 and time 4. Satisfaction was not associated with positive affect at any of the time points, however.Conclusion.Study findings indicate that dissatisfaction with illness‐related abilities can exacerbate psychologic distress. The findings also highlight the need for research examining the role that positive affect plays in adaptation to RA.
