semenvatting

This study examined the factor structure of the Illness Cognition Questionnaire (ICQ) in three samples: chronic pain (CP), chronic fatigue (CFS) and fibromyalgia (FM). Former research in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis indicated a three-factor structure (helplessness, acceptance and perceived benefits). For 449 Flemish CP-patients, 296 Flemish CFS-patients and 372 Dutch FM-patients, complete data on the ICQ were available. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed, as well as a multi-group analysis to assess the stability of the factor structure in these three patient groups. Finally, norms were calculated. The three-factor structure was confirmed in CP, CFS and FM. Moreover, the three-factor model can be considered as invariant across the three samples. An analysis of variance indicated a significant difference in ICQ-scores between the three samples. Therefore, separate norms were calculated for the three different chronic conditions. The Illness Cognition Questionnaire seems to be a valid instrument to assess the proposed generic illness cognitions (helplessness, acceptance and perceived benefits) in patients with CP, CFS and FM.
