Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is, first, to identify available scales assessing illness representations and, second, to analyze their use in empirical works with cancer patients.
Procedure: This includes literature review.
Results: Seven measuring tools are available in the literature. Only one of them is cancer specific; 29 of the 33 included studies use one of the three Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ) versions.
Conclusion: We propose to combine these scales’ applications with other methods based on different approaches focused on sociocultural context.
Résumé
Objectif : Dresser un bilan des outils quantitatifs disponibles pour mesurer les représentations de la maladie et analyser leur utilisation empirique auprès de patients atteints de cancer.
Matériel et méthodes: Revue de la littérature.
Résultats: Sept outils de mesure des représentations de la maladie existent dont un spécifique au cancer. L’Illness Perception Questionnaire est utilisé dans 29 des 33 études retenues.
Conclusion: Associer ces échelles avec des méthodes reposant sur des approches davantage centrées sur le contexte socioculturel semble à privilégier.
