Assessment of illness representations in mental disorders: A mini review

Evaluation des représentations dans les troubles psychiques : une mini revue

Résumé

Health beliefs, and especially illness representations, have been widely used to understand clinical out-comes and psychosocial adjustment in people with physical diseases. However, this area of research has been under-explored in the field of mental health, and the few studies that have been conducted have used very differen tmethods. Therefore, the aim of our study was to identify the tools and methods that have been used to evaluate illness representations inpsychiatry. To this end, a mini review has been conducted and 58 articles werere tained. This mini review highlights that the quantitative method is the most used, and that the scales mobilised are often adapted for the study, but not validated. Indeed,multiple modifications and adaptations have been made by the authors (e.g.deletion of subscales, addition of items) ,which lead to questions about the reliability of what is measured In the future, it is essential to have a validated generic tool for mental disorders, which could be based on the Illness perceptions questionnaire for schizophrenia.
