Common sense model of self regulation

BACKGROUND: From the time of new diagnosis to treatment, cancer patients experience a variety of health problems that can affect the patient's health outcomes. Individuals with cancer are being given increasing responsibility for the self-management of their health and illness. The self-regulating common-sense model (CSM) is effective in patients' disease management. This article briefly introduces the common-sense model intervention, in which patients with cancer are affected by these interventions, what they are about, and what effects they have...

Lumbar radiculopathy, characterized by pain radiating along a nerve root, significantly diminishes the quality of life due to its neuropathic nature. Patients' understanding of their illness and the coping strategies they employ directly influence how they manage their condition. Understanding these illness representations from the patient's perspective is crucial for healthcare providers seeking to optimize treatment outcomes. This study adopted a qualitative interpretive/constructive paradigm to explore this dynamic...

Imbalance in carbon flux distribution is one of the most important factors affecting the further increase in the yield of high value-added natural products in microbial metabolic engineering. Meanwhile, the most common inducible expression systems are difficult to achieve industrial-scale production due to the addition of high-cost or toxic inducers during the fermentation process. Quorum sensing system, as a typical model for density-dependent induction of gene expression, has been widely applied in synthetic biology...

INTRODUCTION: This is the first study to use the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation theory for oral health interventions in pediatric practices. The objective of this qualitative study was to assess adoption and implementation of theory-based multilevel oral health interventions, by clinicians (pediatricians and nurse practitioners) participating in a cluster randomized clinical trial, to create an oral health toolkit for widespread dissemination into pediatric practices. METHODS: Semistructured interviews were conducted at the conclusion of the cluster randomized clinical trial with 21 clinicians from 9 practices participating in the intervention arm...

OBJECTIVES: Migraine is considered a chronic health condition that impacts both quality of life and psychological wellbeing. People with migraines use a range of management strategies, which include pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. The aim of this study was to explore individuals' experiences and perceptions of migraines and its treatment using the Common-Sense Model (CSM) of Illness Representations. METHODS: Semi-structured, one-to-one interviews were conducted with eleven individuals with a history of migraine to explore their experiences and perceptions of migraine and its treatment...

OBJECTIVE: We outline the development of a narrative intervention guided by the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation (CSM) to promote Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in a diverse college population. METHODS: We adapted the Obesity-Related Behavioral Intervention Trials (ORBIT) model to guide the development, evaluation, and refinement of a CSM-guided narrative video. First, content experts developed a video script containing information on HPV, HPV vaccines, and HPV-related cancers...

BACKGROUND: Following the COVID-19 pandemic, another large-scale respiratory epidemic has emerged in China, causing significant social impact and disruption. The article is to explore the patients' psychological and behavioral responses to the enhancement of healthcare quality. METHODS: Based on the five dimensions of the Self-Regulation Common-Sense Model, we developed an interview outline to explore the process by which patients identify disease symptoms to guide action plans and coping strategies...

Research on causal beliefs about mental illness-the beliefs people hold about what causes a particular mental illness, or mental illnesses in general-is split across a number of theories and disciplines. Although research on this subject has provided a number of insights and practical applications, the diversity of theories, terminology, and keywords makes it challenging for a new reader to gain a comprehensive understanding. We sought to address this by conducting a systematic scoping review of research on causal beliefs...

BACKGROUND: The biopsychosocial model is fundamental for the understanding and treatment of chronic pain; however, little research has focused on whether those affected show a biopsychosocial understanding. The multidimensional questionnaire Biopsychosocial Pain Concept Matrix (BiPS matrix) is presented. The conception of the BiPS matrix is based on the biological, psychological and social areas as well as on the common sense model of self-regulation with five dimensions: (1) type of disorder, (2) assumptions on the causes, (3) consequences, (4) duration of the disease and (5) possibilities for control and treatment...

PURPOSE: What symptoms do people think constitute "depression"? In a mental health literacy framework, knowing more of depression's nine core symptoms (per formal psychiatric diagnostic criteria) is thought to help people identify and seek help for depression. However, the common-sense model of self-regulation suggests that more expansive beliefs about what symptoms constitute an illness may be maladaptive, whereby viewing more symptoms as characterizing a disorder predicts greater functional impairment...

In their systematic review on parent illness representations in their children with anorexia nervosa (AN), Marchetti and Sawrikar (International Journal of Eating Disorders, 2023) integrate past research on the parental experience of the illness, investigating whether the Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation (CSM) is a useful framework for understanding parental responses to AN. Given that family-based treatment (FBT) is a first-line treatment for adolescents with eating disorders and is based upon integrating parents into the treatment process, it is especially relevant to explore how parent illness representations may impact FBT...

INTRODUCTION: Patients with breast cancer and endocrine therapy-related symptoms often experience pain, self-denial, anxiety, fear of recurrence and despair, which can be extremely physically and psychologically traumatising for the patients. Failure to receive effective support and management reduces adherence to medications, leading to a higher risk of relapse and mortality. Clearly, it is paramount to identify what support these patients may need and how to meet their symptom management needs...

Over the past decade, scholarly attention has increasingly focused on what is known as the 'refugee gap', which refers to the great difficulty asylum seekers and refugees face in entering the labour market in the host country. This poses a grave threat of social and occupational marginalisation for this group and highlights the role of systemic factors in facilitating resilience outcomes. By adopting a systemic perspective, this research aims to provide a critical reflection on the key features that should be considered when designing and implementing effective career counselling interventions for asylum seekers and refugees...

Marchetti and Sawrikar (International Journal of Eating Disorders, 2023) used the framework of the Common-Sense Model of the Self-Regulation to explore the perceptions and experiences of parents caring for individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) from a systematic review of the literature. The studies they reviewed delved into the subjective experiences of parents and considered the influence of emotional and cognitive representations of AN which were predominantly negative. Parents play a key role in all stages of the management of an eating disorder and so our commentary sets the findings into the wider context of eating disorder services...

Background  Noise and drug-induced hearing loss (HL) is becoming more and more serious, but the integration and analysis based on transcriptomics and proteomics are lacking. On the one hand, this study aims to integrate existing public transcriptomic data on noise and gentamicin-induced HL. On the other hand, the study aims to establish the gentamicin and noise-induced HL model of guinea pigs, then to perform the transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. Through comprehensive analysis of the above data, we aim to screen, predict, and preliminarily verify biomarkers closely related to HL...

INTRODUCTION: Adolescents with functional (nonepileptic) seizures experience challenges self-managing this mental health condition, especially at school where adolescents experience stress, bullying, accusations of faking seizures, and stigma. According to the Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation, adolescents' self-management decisions and outcomes may be shaped by their functional seizure illness representation (perceptions or mental depictions formed in response to a health threat)...

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common, seriously impairing, and often recurrent mental disorder. Based on the predictions of the Circumplex Model of Marital and Family Systems and the Common-Sense Self-Regulation Model, the aim of the present prospective study is to examine the predictive value of clinical outcomes of a process model in which associations between perceived family functioning and patient's clinical outcomes (i.e., symptom severity and suicide risk) are mediated by illness representations and coping strategies...

Background: The Common-Sense Model of illness self-regulation underpins illness-specific cognitions (including both illness perceptions and a fear of cancer recurrence; FCR). There is evidence in adults of associations between FCR, illness perceptions, and mental health in adult cancer survivors. However, there is limited empirical research examining these constructs within the developmentally distinct population of adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of cancer. The current study aimed to bridge that gap to inform potentially modifiable treatment targets in this population...

OBJECTIVE: Research indicates that parents experience distress while caring for a child with anorexia nervosa. Applying the Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation (CSM), a framework to describe responses to illness may help to understand the antecedents of parental distress, which could inform how to support parents in treatment. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize outcomes from qualitative research in relation to parents' experiences of caring for a child with anorexia nervosa using the CSM...

PURPOSE: To examine associations between illness perception, also called illness cognitions or appraisals, disposition of passive coping, and symptoms of anxiety and depression, and to test whether passive coping mediates the associations between illness perception and symptoms of anxiety and depression. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Longitudinal, multicentre study. Participants were inpatients of spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation. Measures included the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ), the Utrecht Coping List passive coping subscale (UCL-P), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)...
