Effects of health status and perceived control over illness versus symptoms on quality of life in cancer patients. - 100 p.

Adviser: Sandra Zakowski.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Herman M. Finch University of Health Sciences - The Chicago Medical School, 2000.

Internal Health Locus of Control beliefs have been associated with both distress and adjustment to illness in research with cancer patients. The present study sought to test the reality-matching hypothesis (Shapiro & Astin, 1996) and the two-process model of control (Rothbaum, Weisz, & Snyder, 1982), which suggest circumstances under which personal control beliefs would be considered maladaptive and therefore associated with increased distress and worse adjustment to illness. Responses from ninety-one cancer patients to two versions of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale-Form C (control over illness course, control over symptoms), the Profile of Mood States, the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - 4, and the Brief Pain Inventory were factor analyzed and subjected to hierarchical regression analyses. The hypotheses were not supported. Results indicated that perceived control over symptoms was not associated with pain, distress, or quality of life. Perceived control over illness course was associated with better social, emotional, and role functioning and trended toward less pain interference among patients with advanced illness only. Implications for current theories advocating placing control beliefs in context are discussed.
