| 4. | Descripción | Resumen | Introduction: Turkish migrants are one of the largest migrant groups in Germany. They often have poorer health care outcomes than the majority population. One reason could be that illness perceptions of this population are not sufficiently considered in health care. The aim of the present exploratory study was to examine illness perceptions of Turkish migrants in tertiary prevention using the self-regulatory model as the underlying research framework. Furthermore, the study aimed to provide insights into the relationship of illness perceptions and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Methods: Overall 73 patients with diabetes, cardiovascular or other diseases were surveyed by means of a quantitative questionnaire during their hospital stay. For the assessment of illness perceptions the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire was used. In order to get a better insight into beliefs about causal attributions, the third part of the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire was applied. Results: Patients with diabetes or cardiovascular diseases had slightly stronger beliefs that their disease was caused by aging or the will of God as compared to those with other diseases. Quality of life was associated with several illness representations. Amongst others persons less concerned about their disease and those with lower beliefs about consequences had a higher (HRQOL). Conclusions: The study showed that perceptions of supernatural causes have to be considered as relevant attributions in health care services for Turkish migrants. Assessing and addressing these beliefs in health care provision may improve health care outcomes and can be regarded an important component of culture-sensitive health care. |
