Title: | Assessment of Chronic Illness-Related Cognitive Fusion: Preliminary Development and Validation of a New Scale with an IBD Sample | Authors: | Trindade, Inês A. Ferreira, Cláudia Pinto-Gouveia, José |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Project: | This research has been supported by the first author (Inês A. Trindade), PhD Grant (SFRH/BD/101906/2014) sponsored by FCT (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology). | Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings | Abstract: | Although research recognizes the advantages of creating specific content measures, no specific measure of chronic illness-related cognitive fusion had been developed to date. The current study presents the development and validation of the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire-Chronic Illness (CFQ-CI) in a sample of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and the analysis of the role of this construct in the psychological health of those patients. Results indicated that the 7-item CFQ-CI was a unidimensional measure of cognitive fusion in patients with chronic illnesses, and that scores had adequate/good internal consistency and construct, convergent, and discriminant validity. This study also showed that chronic illness-related cognitive fusion as assessed by the CFQ-CI acted as a mediator in the association between both IBD-related symptoms and shame with quality of life. The development of the CFQ-CI may thus contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms influencing functional outcomes in chronic illness. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/47696 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10880-017-9536-5 | Rights: | openAccess |
