  • Descrição: Studying the psychological experience and the individual interpretation of a serious illness is an important task, as these factors can affect coping strategies and the psychological and somatic outcome of the illness. In clinical practice, to screen out maladaptive reactions and to effectively plan the psychological interventions, we need measuring tools that can be applied among a wide range of patients and can measure the illness-related emotional and cognitive representations in detail. The aim of our study was to examine the applicability of the drawing test version (PRISM-D) we developed from the Pictorial Representations of Illness and Self Measure test and its posttest in clinical practice among cancer patients. We applied the Pictorial Representations of Illness and Self Measure drawing test and its posttest for 150 cancer patients undergoing hospital treatment. According to the quantitative data from the tests, patients underwent considerable suffering from illness, however, there was a large heterogeneity in the level of suffering in the sample. The majority of the patients in the sample associated negative feelings to their illness, such as distress, fear, sadness, uncertainty. As for illness representations, they interpreted their illness as a sign, a difficulty, a task to solve, a struggle, a loss, an adversity or a personal failure. The size and placement of the circle symbolizing the illness can be used to identify patient reactions to deny or understate illness as well as patients who experience their illness very seriously. This information is crucial in the understanding of illness behavior and the coping with illness. Our study has supported this test as a measuring tool which is well applicable to quickly gain complex information both in clinical practice and in research, to measure illness-related emotional and cognitive representations, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
