dc.description.abstract | Accurate illness perceptions are essential to the self-management of chronic illness. This study explored
trajectories of illness perceptions in persons with morbid obesity (n = 53) and persons with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (n = 52) following a patient education course. Participants completed the Brief
Illness Perception Questionnaire five times over a 1-year period. Repeated measures analysis of variance
was employed. Over time, obese participants perceived shorter illness duration, fewer consequences, less
emotional stress, and more personal control. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease participants had initial
increases in personal control and understanding, but these changes were not maintained throughout the
follow-up period. | en_US |
