- W329526515 abstract "The Common-Sense Model of illness beliefs was applied to HIV/AIDS and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), two chronic illnesses with differences in media exposure, which may relate to illness beliefs. Think-aloud methodology was used to explore how 12 young adults approached a questionnaire about people living with HIV/AIDS and RA. The present article addresses three themes that arose in a thematic analysis of the think-aloud transcripts. Participants described HIV/AIDS and RA in ways that reflect and inform the Common-Sense Model. Sources of information were simultaneously critiqued and relied upon. Beliefs about other people's knowledge suggested empathy, but assumptions about access to healthcare. These findings add support for the Common-Sense Model and inform methods of assessing illness belief. It is pertinent to investigate the nature and sources of beliefs about chronic illnesses held by illness-free individuals because these beliefs inform how illness-free individuals perceive people living with a chronic illness (Seacat, Hirschman, & Mickelson, 2007). Leventhal's Common-Sense Model (CSM) of illness beliefs is a theoretical perspective that has been applied to the beliefs of individuals with a number of specific chronic illnesses (Leventhal, Brissette, & Leventhal, 2003; see also Hagger & Orbell, 2003) and to illnessfree individuals (e.g., Figueiras & Alves, 2007; Holliday, Wall, Treasure, & Weinman, 2005; Schiaffino & Cea, 1995). Further research is required to evaluate the methods used to assess illness beliefs and also to consider the function of any descriptive information about specific chronic illnesses given to respondents who do not have the illness in question. The present study provides an exploration of these issues in relation to two chronic illnesses: rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and HIV/AIDS. These two specific immune-related illnesses make for a pertinent comparison because RA has been found the subject of beliefs that are stigmatising (McQuade, 2002), although it does not hold the renown of HIV/AIDS (Seacat et al., 2007). Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is considered a chronic illness for individuals who have access to antiretroviral treatment, which can extend the timeline of progression to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) (Klimas, Koneru, & Fletcher, 2008). The global HIV prevalence has been estimated to be 33.3 million (UNAIDS, 2010). Although Australasia appears relatively isolated from this pandemic (UNAIDS, 2010), it remains pertinent to examine beliefs about HIV in this location because of local discursive constructions of 'complacent' attitudes to sex (Braun, 2008) and arguments about potential 'vulnerability' to the sexual transmission of HIV (Dickson & Davidson, 2006). Routes of HIV transmission have been the subject of considerable public health education efforts (Albarrac[i']n et al., 2005; Willig, 1992). Sexual transmission of HIV is a critical moral junction given the perception that the pandemic can be attributed to gay men (Seacat et al., 2007) and/or women (Dworkin, 2005). These attributions are likely to link to the stigmatization of individuals living with HIV/AIDS, as well as stigmatizing the behaviours associated with transmission (Seacat et al., 2007; Visser, Makin, & Lehobye, 2006). Another prevalent immune-related chronic illness is rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which affects around 1 in 100 people (Lee & Weinblatt, 2001; Taylor, Smeets, Hall, & McPherson, 2004). RA is an autoimmune disease resulting in swelling and destruction of the joints (Lee & Weinblatt, 2001). The exact cause of RA is uncertain but viral infections or mineral tars (e.g., in coffee or cigarette smoke) have been implicated as precipitating factors (Alamanos & Drosos, 2005; Karlson, Mandl, Aweh, & Grodstein, 2003). Like HIV/AIDS, RA has no known cure but medications can ease symptoms and slow progression (Lee & Weinblatt, 2001). …" @default.
