Objective: To construct a structural equation model based on illness-perception theory to systematically explore the impact pathways of illness perception on fear of progression in patients with intracranial aneurysm undergoing angiography, with a particular focus on validating the mediating effect of family functioning. Methods: A total of 201 patients with suspected intracranial aneurysms who underwent digital subtraction angiography(DSA) in our hospital from January 2023 to September 2025 were enrolled in this cross-sectional survey. Before DSA examination, the brief illness perception questionnaire(BIPQ), Family APGAR Index, and fear of progression questionnaire-short form(FoP-Q-SF) were administered. Amos software was used to build a structural-equation model to analyze the pathways from illness perception to fear of progression and to examine the mediating role of family functioning. Results: The mean FoP-Q-SF score of the intracranial aneurysm angiography patients was(31.82±4.61), with the physical-health dimension(18.67±2.85) and the social-family dimension(13.23±5.29). Illness perception exerted a positive effect on fear of progression(B=2.306, 95%CI 0.228-4.263, P<0.05), a negative effect on family functioning(B=-0.743, 95%CI -0.934- -0.601, P<0.05), and family functioning had a negative effect on fear of progression(B=-2.629, 95%CI -5.404- -0.105, P<0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors(history of subarachnoid hemorrhage), the mediating effect was statistically significant(B=1.954, 95%CI 0.077-3.896,P<0.05), and the total effect of illness perception on fear of progression was significant(B=4.260,95%CI 3.444-5.109, P<0.05). Conclusion: Illness perception, family functioning and fear of progression are significantly inter-related in intracranial aneurysm angiography patients. Illness perception not only directly intensifies fear but also indirectly elevates fear by weakening family functioning; family functioning thus exerts a partial mediating effect. Primary-level clinicians should simultaneously assess patients' cognition and family support during the diagnostic waiting period, and apply low-cost communication interventions to correct catastrophic cognitions and mobilize family emotional resources so as to buffer illness-related uncertainty. |
