  • psychological resources appraisals and coping and their relationship to participation in spinal cord injury a path analysis
    Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2014
    Co-Authors: Claudio Peter, Rachel Muller, Marcel W M Post, Christel M C Van Leeuwen, Christina S Werner, Szilvia Geyh
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective To test the Spinal Cord Injury Adjustment Model and gain a better understanding about whether and how the psychological resources general self-efficacy (SE), purpose in life (PIL), appraisals, and coping influence participation in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Design Cross-sectional data collection within the Swiss Spinal Cord Injury Cohort. Setting Community setting. Participants Persons with SCI (N=516) who are ≥16 years old and living in the community in Switzerland. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Participation was measured with the restrictions subscale of the Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation-Participation, General SE with the General Self-Efficacy Scale, PIL with the Purpose in Life Test-Short Form, appraisals with the Appraisal of Life Events Scale, and coping with the Brief COPE. Results General SE ( r =.32) and PIL ( r =.23) were associated with less participation restrictions. The initial model yielded a poor model fit. The modified final model had an acceptable fit (χ 2 11 =36.2; P Conclusions The results only partly support the double-mediating effect as suggested in the SCI adjustment model because both direct and indirect effects on participation were observed. Individuals with higher general SE and PIL perceive less participation restrictions. General SE seems an appropriate target to enhance participation. Longitudinal studies are needed to support our findings.

  • relationship of threat appraisal with coping appraisal to fear of cancer recurrence in breast cancer survivors
    Psycho-oncology, 2012
    Co-Authors: Heather L Mcginty, Jamie L Goldenberg, Paul B Jacobsen
    Abstract:

    Objectives: Prior research suggests that fear of cancer recurrence (FOR) is very common among cancer survivors. This study examined the extent to which the interaction of threat appraisal and coping appraisal accounted for differences in FOR in cancer patients who recently completed treatment. It was hypothesized that greater FOR would be related to a combination of high threat appraisal and low coping appraisal. Methods: A sample of 155 early stage breast cancer patients (mean age = 59 years) who completed surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy between 6 and 24 months previously (mean = 12 months) completed measures of FOR, threat appraisal (perceived risk and severity of a potential cancer recurrence), and coping appraisal (perceived response efficacy and self-efficacy to perform diet and exercise recommendations to reduce recurrence risk). Basic demographic and clinical information were also collected. Results: Threat appraisal accounted for 30% of the variance in FOR (p<0.001) while coping appraisal accounted for 0% (p = 0.64). After accounting for these variables and relevant covariates, the interaction of threat appraisal and coping appraisal explained 2% of the remaining variance in FOR (p = 0.04). As hypothesized, survivors who reported high threat appraisal and low coping appraisal had the highest FOR. Conclusions: Future research should focus on examining these relationships longitudinally and further assess coping appraisal and how it impacts cancer recurrence fears.
