    Notes: This study examined the effects of attempting social influence on cardiovascular reactivity. Subjects were randomly assigned to a noncontingent reward condition or one of three conditions in which receipt of a monetary reward was contingent on their ability to influence another individual through a persuasive communication. In the contingent conditions, the task was presented as either easy, difficult, or very difficult. Measures of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate were recorded while subjects prepared and delivered the persuasive communication (contingent conditions) or reviewed and read aloud the same statement without an incentive to influence. The contingent conditions produced significantly higher levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate reactivity during preparation and speaking. Further, reactivity was higher in the difficult condition than in the easy and very difficult conditions. The findings are discussed in terms of an interpersonal equivalent of traditional active coping tasks.

    Affiliative Need, Different Types of Social Support, and Physical Symptoms (1989)

    Notes: Less tangible types of social support (emotional, informational, and companionship) were shown to predict reports of physical symptoms as a joint function of both affiliative need and negative life events, while the effects of tangible support depended only upon the occurrence of negative life events (the prototypical buffering effect). Low affiliative need individuals tended to benefit from both types of support, while high affiliative need individuals benefited primarily from more tangible support. The results were discussed in terms of the proposal that low affiliative need individuals hold a more problem-focused view of social support, while high affiliative need individuals tend to take a less personally instrumental stance toward interpersonal interaction.

    Patient Adherence in Chronic Illness: Personality and Coping In Context (1996)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Journal of personality 64 (1996), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-6494
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Psychology
    Notes: Previous reviews have concluded that there is no evidence for a predictable association between person factors and regimen adherence in chronic illness. The brief current review of the literature reveals that past work has been limited by the lack of a common structural theory of personality and the failure to consider the interaction of person factors with disease and treatment context. Application of the five-factor model of personality to adherence research will reduce divergence in the field and and in the orientation and interpretation of future work. Evidence suggests that an interactive perspective recognizing the moderating influence of contextual factors on the behavioral expression of personality traits will contribute to the prediction of adherence behavior.

    Notes: Abstract The five-factor taxonomy of personality traits has received increasing attention in the literature regarding personality correlates of health outcomes and behaviors. We examined the association of the five NEO Five-Factor Inventory dimensions to medical regimen adherence in a sample of 72 renal dialysis patients. Results indicated that Conscientiousness (Dimension III) is a five-factor trait significantly associated with adherence to the medication regimen. No other NEO-FFI dimension was significantly associated with patient adherence.

    Notes: Abstract The present study compared ambulatory blood pressure in male and female subjects preselected for high and low hostility levels and investigated interpersonal daily stress as a possible mediational mechanism. Ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate were measured in 48 male and female students previously classified as high or low on the Cook-Medley Hostility (Ho) Scale. Subjects wore an ambulatory monitor for a working day and also completed measures of perceived social support, daily interpersonal stress, and health behavior information. Results indicated that subjects scoring high on the Ho scale had higher mean levels of ambulatory systolic blood pressure than low Ho subjects, even when controlling for traditional risk factors, such as cigarette smoking. High Ho subjects also reported greater daily interpersonal stress and less social support than low Ho subjects. Perceived interpersonal stress partially accounted for the relationship between hostility and blood pressure. Subjects high in hostility showed greater mean ambulatory systolic blood pressure levels. Consistent with the transactional model of hostility and health, the relationship between hostility and blood pressure appears to be partially accounted for by the daily experience of interpersonal stress.

    Notes: Abstract Attributions have been found to influence theimpact of stressful life events. This study examined therole of attributions in emotional adjustment toend-stage renal disease (ESRD). The Illness Attributions Inventory (IAI) was developed to access threeattributions for problems created by ESRD and itstreatment -- self-blame, acceptance of responsibility,and other blame. Factor analyses and associations with measures of adjustment and personalitygenerally support the distinctiveness of these threedimensions, but suggested that self-blame and acceptanceof responsibility can also be seen as inversely related components of a single dimension. Inprospective analyses, high acceptance ofresponsibility/low self-blame was associated with betteremotional adjustment.The effects of other blame onadjustmentwere context-specific. Among patients reliant on dialysis staff, otherblame was associated with better adjustment over time.Among patients responsible for their own dialysistreatments, other blame was associated with worse adjustment over time.

    Perceived health competence, health locus of control, and patient adherence in renal dialysis (1996)

    Notes: Abstract An emerging view in the literature regarding health locus of control (HLC) and health behavior suggests that HLC beliefs might affect behavior only through the interaction of HLC with other health-related expectancies. We examined internal and powerful others HLC beliefs as moderators of the relationship between a recently developed measure of “perceived health competence” and medical regimen adherence in 81 renal dialysis patients. The hypothesized interaction was significant, suggesting a moderating role for HLC. The pattern of the interaction differed from prediction. Greater perceived health competence was associated with more favorable adherence only for those patients scoring low on internal and high on powerful others HLC. This pattern suggests that a high degree of perceived competence is advantageous for those patients with predominant confidence in the actions of their health-care providers.

    Notes: Abstract This study examined the influence of cognitivedistortion (e.g., catastrophizing, overgeneralization)on functional impairment among coronary heart disease(CHD) patients undergoing outpatient cardiacrehabilitation. Forty-two CHD patients completed a versionofthe Cognitive Errors Questionnaire (CEQ; Lefebvre,1981) shortly after hospital discharge at the initiationof the rehabilitation program. Functional impairmentwas assessed both pre- and postrehabilitation usingscales from the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP; Bergner etal., 1981) and a measure of peak exercise performance.Consistent with prediction, patients' CEQ scores were significantly associated withresidualized change in two areas of illness-relatedfunctional impairmentafter controlling for diseaseseverity and prerehabilitation levels of functioning.Patients endorsing a high number of cognitive errors onthe CEQ reported greater impairmentin mobility andpoorer social functioning after completion of therehabilitation program relative to patients making a low number of cognitive errors. CEQ scores did notsignificantly predict changes in impairment in homemanagement or recreational activity or in peak exerciseperformance. These findings provide further evidence that cognitive constructs might be useful inunderstanding individual differences in functionalrehabilitation in medical populations and may haveimplications for the design of cardiac rehabilitationprograms.

    Family support, physical impairment, and adherence in hemodialysis: An investigation of main and buffering effects (1992)

    Notes: Abstract Patient noncompliance is a pervasive problem among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Previous studies have implicated social support as an important correlate of adherence behavior in other chronic illness groups, but little research has examined this relationship in a hemodialysis population. The present study examined the main and interactive effects of social support in the family and illness-related physical impairment with regard to patient compliance in a sample of 78 hemodialysis patients. Results indicated that patients holding perceptions of a more supportive family environment exhibited significantly more favorable adherence to fluid-intake restrictions than did patients reporting less family support. Family support was not associated with adherence to dietary restrictions. The effect of family support on fluid-intake adherence was not moderated by level of physical impairment. This pattern suggests that the influence of support on adherence is more attributable to a main or direct effect, as opposed to a buffering process in the face of increased physical impairment.

    Notes: Abstract End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with an increased incidence of psychological distress. The present research examined the salutary effects of a supportive family environment on the psychological well-being of ESRD patients receiving renal transplants. Patients (N=57) completed a measure of perceived family support and an assessment of the physical impact of their illness. Psychological well-being was assessed utilizing two measures of depression and two measures of anxiety. One group of patients was classified as experiencing high illness-related physical dysfunction. In this group, patients perceiving a less supportive family environment displayed significantly higher levels of psychological symptoms of depression and anxiety than patients with a more supportive family environment. A second group of patients was classified as experiencing low illness-related physical dysfunction. In this group, the perceived level of family support was not significantly related to their relatively lower reported levels of depression and anxiety.
