This review examines how coping strategies can improve psychosocial interventions for chronic illness patients. Enhancing coping skills, particularly problem-focused ones, shows promise for improving quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Medical Social Science
  • Health Psychology

Background:

  • Coping is crucial for managing chronic illness.
  • Psychosocial interventions aim to improve quality of life for chronically ill patients.
  • Translating coping theory into practical interventions presents challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of coping in psychosocial interventions for chronic illness.
  • To assess the impact of coping-focused interventions on patients' quality of life.
  • To identify areas for improving coping interventions in chronic illness care.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of 35 studies on coping interventions for chronic illness.
  • Analysis of studies across seven chronic disease types (AIDS, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, chronic pain, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis).

  • Evaluation of interventions targeting coping behaviors and cognitions.

    • Main Results:

    • Explicit focus on "coping" in interventions is rare.
    • Many studies address illness management behaviors/cognitions equivalent to coping.
    • Encouraging results, primarily improving specific coping strategies, especially problem-focused ones.

    Conclusions:

    • Coping interventions show positive but limited effects, often targeting single strategies.
    • Greater explicit consideration of the coping concept is needed for intervention development.
    • Future interventions should focus more on appraisal, resource utilization, and strategic coping.
