Abstract

Background: To deliver adequate care to patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), it is important to know which patients use what type of care. This knowledge is valuable, as modification of these factors may be used as means to regulate healthcare use. Our objective was to examine the predictive value of psychological characteristics for future healthcare use, independent of clinical characteristics.Methods: In total 845 adult CHD-patients participated in a longitudinal questionnaire study, with a two-year follow-up period. Linear regression analyses with negative binomial log link function were performed predicting healthcare used during the previous year. Psychological predictors were Type D personality, quality of life (QoL), depressive symptoms, trait-anxiety, happiness, optimism, and illness perceptions, independent of the number of co-morbidities, disease complexity and functional status. To control for clustering we included the variable type of centre (regional versus tertiary referral).Results: Patients who reported more healthcare use had a complex defect, a poor functional status, no Type D personality, and a poor QoL. They moreover felt their CHD had a severe impact on their life and believed their CHD could be managed by themselves or treatment.Conclusions: Healthcare use is not entirely determined by disease complexity and functional status but also by psychological patient characteristics. It can by hypothesised that reducing the negative impact experienced and informing patients about strategies to manage their CHD, will modify their future healthcare use. Additional research is necessary to examine this possibility.

Abstract

Background:To improve patients’ quality of life (QoL) we need to identify modifiable determinants, such as illness perceptions. Patients’ illness perceptions are known to regulate emotional responses and health-behaviour. Illness perceptions comprise several components: consequences, control, coherence, changeability and emotional representations.Aims:To examine (a) the relation between patient characteristics and illness perceptions, and (b) the independent predictive value of illness perceptions for future QoL.Methods:A longitudinal study in 845 patients with congenital heart disease was conducted. Patients completed three questionnaires: the IPQ-R (illness perceptions) and two years later the SF-36 and TAAQOL-CHD (QoL). Linear regression analyses were performed relating illness perceptions to patient characteristics (sex, age, disease complexity and functional status) and QoL.Results:Patients with a complex defect or poor functional status reported poor illness perceptions. Independent of patient characteristics, poor illness perceptions (i.e. a strong belief that the illness has severe consequences; a weak belief that you have a coherent illness understanding and that the illness can be controlled by treatment; and a strong belief that the illness is changeable and causes negative emotions) were predictive of future QoL.Conclusion:Illness perceptions independently predict QoL, suggesting that QoL may be improved by altering patients’ beliefs about their illness. For example, increasing patients’ knowledge regarding their disease and informing them about treatment opportunities may enhance their QoL.Keywords: Congenital heart disease, quality of life, illness perceptions

Abstract

Contains fulltext : 108996.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Background: Type D personality, characterized by high levels of negative affectivity and social inhibition, is related to mortality, morbidity, poor health status, quality of life (QoL) and less healthcare utilization in various cardiovascular patient groups. To date, studies in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are lacking. Aims: (1) To examine the prevalence of Type D personality in CHD patients; (2) to compare Type D to non-Type D patients with regard to disease severity, functional status, health status and QoL; and (3) to examine the extent to which Type D personality is independently related to healthcare utilization. Methods: A total of 1109 adult CHD patients were included in a questionnaire survey. Due to missing data, 302 patients were excluded. Results: The prevalence of Type D personality was 20.4%. Type D patients reported a poorer functional status, health status and QoL than non-Type D patients (p
