4138.169 The meaning of experience of congenital portwine stain: Implicatons for psychological
intervention, Manabu Matsumoto, Japan
Interviews were conducted with two patients with congenital portwine stain in order to ascertain
the need for psychological intervention. The narratives of these patients were analyzed by the KJ
method. The points analyzed were 1) how the patients defined their experiences and 2) their need
for support. The results indicated that the patient who defined her own experience as both negative
and positive seemed to make a better social adjustment, while the patient who defined his own
experience as only positive seemed to make a poor adjustment. These findings will be used in
actual psychological intervention in the near future.
4138.170 Negative mood regulation expectancies, arthritis self-efficacy, coping, depression and
pain in individuals with arthritis, Jack Mearns, Katharine Vernoy, California State Univeristy,
Fullerton, USA
This study assessed a community-dwelling sample with arthritis for arthritis self-efficacy, negative
mood regulation expectancies, coping, depression and pain. There were 79 participants, with a
mean age of 71.7 years (SD = 12.2), 87.3% of whom were female, who completed the Negative
Mood Regulation Scale, Arthritis Self-efficacy Scale, Coping Strategy Questionnaire, McGill Pain
Questionnaire, and Beck Depression Inventory-II. In simultaneous multiple regression analyses,
both NMR expectancies and self-efficacy independently related to depression. Self-efficacy also
uniquely related to pain. These results demonstrate the utility of individuals' negative mood
regulation expectancies and arthritis self-efficacy as cognitions that influence the effects of
arthritis.
