Effects of medication, treatment, and behavioral beliefs on intentions to take medication in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia
2018
Although familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) can be effectively managed using cholesterol-lowering medication, patients often fall short of complete treatment adherence. Identifying the psychological factors associated with self-regulation of FH medication is important to inform interventions to maximize adherence. The aim of the present study was to test an integrated psychological model in predicting FH patients' intentions to take medication.FH patients attending clinics in seven countries were invited to participate in a cross-sectional survey study. Consenting patients (N = 551) completed self-report measures of generalized beliefs about medication overuse and harms, beliefs in treatmen…
Parantajat ja tieteentekijät : piirilääkärit Ruotsin valtakunnassa 1700-luvun lopulta 1800-luvun alkuun
2014
Piirilääkärilaitoksen perustaminen oli eräs niistä Ruotsin valtakunnan valtiojohtoisista toimenpiteistä, joilla pyrittiin kohentamaan sotien ja kulkutautien seurauksena harventuneen väestön terveydentilaa.

Piirilääkäreillä oli etuoikeus virkansa harjoittamiseen, ja he olivat velvollisia raportoimaan toiminnastaan lääkintäkollegio Collegium Medicumille. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään piirilääkäreiden ammatillista toimenkuvaa ja heidän tapaansa käsittää sairaudet ja hoitaa niitä. Lähteinä ovat piirilääkäreiden laatimat vuosikertomukset Collegium Medicumille vuodesta 1769 vuoteen 1809. Vuosikertomukset ova…

Illness perceptions of COVID-19 in Europe: Predictors, impacts and temporal evolution

Objective: Illness perceptions (IP) are important predictors of emotional and behavioral responses in many diseases. The current study aims to investigate the COVID-19-related IP throughout Europe. The specific goals are to understand the temporal development, identify predictors (within demographics and contact with COVID-19) and examine the impacts of IP on perceived stress and preventive behaviors. Methods: This was a time-series-cross-section study of 7, 032 participants from 16 European countries using multilevel modeling from April to June 2020. IP were measured with the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. Temporal patterns were observed considering the date of participation and t…
