The aim of the study was to examine how private self-awareness defined in terms of rumination and reflection processes is related to flexibility both in thinking and coping as pivotal elements of adaptation to chronic illness. Methods: Participants in the study were 100 patients with non-specific inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis). The following instruments were used: the Rumination-Reflection Questionnaire (RRQ) by Paul D. Trapnell and Jennifer D. Campbell, the Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire by John P. Dennis and Jillon S. Vander Wal, the Flexibility in Coping with Stress Questionnaire by Małgorzata A. Basińska and collaborators, the Short Self-Assessment of Depression and Anxiety by Andrzej Kokoszka, and a sociodemographic questionnaire developed by the present authors. Results: Ruminative tendencies were found to correlate negatively with a single dimension of cognitive flexibility, i.e. sense of control, and with a single dimension of coping flexibility, i.e. repertoire of coping strategies. Both these relationships were strengthened by the presence of self-assessed depression symptoms (the former), and self-assessed anxiety (the latter). The significance of reflective tendencies for flexi- bility was limited to a simple relationship with the dimensions of alternatives, variability and reflectiveness. Conclusions: In the work with people suffering from non-specific inflammatory bowel conditions it is important to reduce the pa- tients’ ruminative tendencies and monitor their anxiety and depression symptoms. If such symptoms are persistent, appropriate interventions seem to be equally important. H2: Relationships of ruminative and reflective tendencies with cognitive flexibility and coping flexibility are mediated by depression and anxiety.","PeriodicalId":39142,"journal":{"name":"Postepy Psychiatrii i Neurologii","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5114/PPN.2019.86254","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70510501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A survey method was used with self-completion questionnaires. The analysis was based on 211 questionnaires. Results: 97% of PCPs state that the primary form of treatment for psychiatric patients should be some form of out-patient health care. 61% of PCPs state that the prestige of psychiatry in the opinion of doctors of other specializations is average, 50% think that majority of psychiatrists are satisfied with their choice of specialization, and 73% believe that the level of responsibility of a psychiatrist is high. 71% of PCPs believe that the funding of psychiatry is on a lower level than in other areas of medicine, 67% believe that psychiatric treatment is moderately effective, while 26% state that it is highly effective. However, PCPs believe that 60% of the society assesses it as moderately effective and 38% as ineffective or mostly ineffective. Conclusions: Almost all PCPs state that the primary form of treatment for psychiatric patients should be community care. They do not see psychiatry as being so underfunded and stigmatized within the society as psychiatrists do. PCPs assess the efficacy of psychiatric treatment to be at a much higher level than do psychiatrists, which may result from a limited contact with the group of severely ill patients. The opinions indicate a need to introduce educational programs for family doctors.","PeriodicalId":39142,"journal":{"name":"Postepy Psychiatrii i Neurologii","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5114/ppn.2019.89132","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70510891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
