| Application | prognosis and risk assessment |
| Objective | To examine (a) the relation between patient characteristics and illness perceptions, and (b) the independent predictive value of illness perceptions for future QoL. |
| p Value | <0.01 |
| Conclusion | Patients who had a strong belief that the illness caused negative emotions reported low scores on the MCS (B= –0.43, p<0.01) and the Worries scale (B= –0.60, p<0.01) and high scores on the PCS scale(B=0.23, p=0.01). |
