Illness Perceptions, Coping, and Quality of Life in Vestibular Schwannoma Patients at Diagnosis
Otology and Neurotology, 08/28/08
Vogel J et al. - Vestibular schwannoma patients experience impaired QOL compared with healthy controls and reference groups. Their illness perceptions are in between those of patients with acute and chronic pain, and their coping behavior is less active in general. This may have implications for clinical decision making and for optimizing interaction with patients. Changing illness perceptions and coping by means of an intervention and encouraging social support by means of patient support groups may improve QOL in VS patients.
