Causal attributions for somatic sensations in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and their partners
Background. Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) often make somatic attributions for their illness which has been associated with poor outcome. A tendency to make somatic attributions in general may be a vulnerability factor for the development of CFS. Methods. This cross-sectional study bas...

| description | Background. Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) often make somatic attributions for
their illness which has been associated with poor outcome. A tendency to make somatic attributions
in general may be a vulnerability factor for the development of CFS. Methods. This cross-sectional study based on self-report questionnaire data aimed to investigate
the type of attributions for symptoms made by patients with CFS and to compare this to
attributions made by their partners. It was hypothesized that patients with CFS would make more
somatic attributions for their own symptoms than control subjects and that partners of patients
with CFS would make more somatic attributions for their ill relative's symptoms but would be
similar to controls regarding their own symptoms. Fifty patients with CFS were compared to 50
controls from a fracture clinic in the same hospital and 46 relatives living with the patients with
CFS. A modified Symptom Interpretation Questionnaire was used to assess causal attributions. Results. CFS patients were more likely to make somatic attributions for their symptoms. The
relatives of patients with CFS made significantly more somatic attributions for symptoms in their
ill relative. However, they were like the fracture clinic controls in terms of making predominantly
normalizing attributions for their own symptoms. Conclusions. The data support modification of existing cognitive behavioural treatments for CFS
to investigate whether addressing partners' attributions for patients' symptoms improves recovery
in the patient. Furthermore, a tendency to make somatic attributions for symptoms may be a
vulnerability factor for the development of CFS. |
