Resum	The Illness Perception Questionnaire—Revised (IPQ-R) is a 70-item measure (brief version: 38 items) developed by Moss-Morris and colleagues (2002) to assess how individuals perceive and cognitively represent their illness. Based on Leventhal's Common Sense Model of illness representation, the IPQ-R measures nine dimensions: Identity (symptoms associated with the illness), Timeline (perceived duration and course), Consequences (expected impacts on functioning and quality of life), Personal Control (perceived ability to influence the illness), Treatment Control (perceived effectiveness of medical treatment), Illness Coherence (understanding of the illness), Concern (worry about the illness), Emotions (emotional responses to the illness), and Causation (attributed causes of illness). These cognitive representations profoundly influence coping behaviors, treatment adherence, emotional well-being, and actual health outcomes. The IPQ-R is widely used in chronic disease management (diabetes, asthma, cardiac disease, arthritis), mental health, rehabilitation, and health psychology research to understand illness-specific beliefs and to guide psychosocial interventions.	The Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC) is an 18-item measure developed by Wallston, Wallston, and DeVellis (1978) to assess individual differences in health-related beliefs about the locus of control—that is, to whom or what people attribute responsibility for their health. The MHLC measures three dimensions: Internal control (belief that health is determined by one's own actions and responsibility), Powerful Others control (belief that health is determined by healthcare providers, family, or powerful authority figures), and Chance control (belief that health is determined by fate, luck, or uncontrollable events). These beliefs profoundly influence health behavior engagement, treatment adherence, and response to health information. The MHLC is widely used in health behavior research, patient education evaluation, and clinical practice to understand how beliefs about health control shape behavior and to tailor communication styles.
