Illness Perceptions, Coping Styles and Psychological Distress in adults with Huntington's Disease
Researcher: Natalie Arran, Trainee Clinical Psychologist
What is the aim of the study?
Many people can experience changes in their how they feel after being diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease, for example, feeling low or worrying more. Research has shown that people’s beliefs about the illness and conditions that they experience can affect their mood and quality of life.
This study aims to find out:
- What thoughts, ideas and beliefs do people who have been diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease have about Huntington’s Disease?
- What are the coping strategies most commonly used by people with Huntington’s Disease?
- Do these thoughts, ideas and beliefs about Huntington’s Disease help explain people’s psychological distress?
Who am I looking for?
I am hoping that around 100 people, aged 18 years and over, who have been diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease people will take part.
What if you decide to take part?
If you decide to take part, you will be required to complete a series of questionnaires which may take approximately 60 minutes to complete. You can complete the questionnaires online by clicking on the link below.
