Monitoring Attentional Style And Medical Regimen Adherence In Hemodialysis Patients, Alan Christensen, Patricia Moran, William Lawton, Deanna Stallman, Anne Voigts
Monitoring Attentional Style And Medical Regimen Adherence In Hemodialysis Patients, Alan Christensen, Patricia Moran, William Lawton, Deanna Stallman, Anne Voigts
Alan J. Christensen
Previous research involving individuals facing chronic health problems suggests that an attentional style characterized by pronounced monitoring of threat-relevant information is associated with poorer behavioral and emotional adjustment. This study examined the hypothesis that a pronounced monitoring style would be associated with poorer medical regimen adherence in a sample of 51 chronic hemodialysis patients. Hierarchical regression analyses (controlling for demographic factors and trait anxiety) revealed that "high monitors" exhibited higher interdialysis weight gains and higher serum K values reflecting poorer adherence to fluid-intake and dietary restrictions. However, monitoring was not associated with a measure of medication adherence. Partial support was …
Children's Responses To Peer Conflicts Involving A Rights Infraction, Andrea Hopmeyer Gorman, Steven Asher
Children's Responses To Peer Conflicts Involving A Rights Infraction, Andrea Hopmeyer Gorman, Steven Asher
Andrea Hopmeyer Gorman
Examined whether generalization about prosocial style of well-accepted children applies to conflicts involving rights infraction. Interviewed fourth- and fifth-graders about strategies for handling situations in which a peer infringes on their rights. Found that well-accepted children were neither aggressive nor particularly prosocial in conflict situations; they responded with verbally assertive strategies, unlike low-accepted children, who relied on adults.

Health Beliefs, Personality, And Adherence In Hemodialysis Patients: An Interactional Perspective, John Wiebe, Alan Christensen
Health Beliefs, Personality, And Adherence In Hemodialysis Patients: An Interactional Perspective, John Wiebe, Alan Christensen
Alan J. Christensen
Research examining the main effects of health beliefs and personality on medical regimen adherence has yielded inconsistent results. This study tested the hypothesis that health beliefs and personality predict adherence in an interactive manner. Components of the Health Beliefs Model, Conscientiousness (C) from the NEO-Five Factor Inventory, and regimen adherence were assessed in a sample of 70 in-center hemodialysis patients. In a hierarchical regression analysis, the interaction of health beliefs and C failed to explain a significant portion of the variance in interdialysis weight gain, a measure of adherence to fluid restrictions, after controlling for demographic characteristics. The interaction did …
Cynical Hostility, Powerful Others Control Expectancies, And Patient Adherence In Hemodialysis, Alan Christensen, J. Wiebe, W. Lawton
Cynical Hostility, Powerful Others Control Expectancies, And Patient Adherence In Hemodialysis, Alan Christensen, J. Wiebe, W. Lawton
Alan J. Christensen
The present study examined the joint role of cynical hostility and powerful others health locus of control expectancies in predicting regimen adherence in a sample of center hemodialysis patients. METHOD: Forty-eight hemodialysis patients completed the Cook-Medley Hostility (Ho) Scale and the Powerful Others Health Locus of Control (PHLC) scale. Adherence to the fluid-restriction and phosphorus reduction components of the treatment regimen was assessed by examining patients' interdialysis session weight gains and serum phosphorus (P) levels. RESULTS: In a hierarchical regression analysis, higher hostility was associated with significantly higher serum P levels indicating poorer dietary and medication adherence. The main effect …
