BACKGROUND
Individuals' beliefs about the etiology of persistent physical symptoms (PPS) are linked to differences in coping style. However, it is unclear which attributions are related to greater expectations for improvement.
METHOD AND RESULTS
A cross-sectional regression analysis (N = 262) indicated that Veterans with Gulf War Illness (GWI) who attributed their GWI to behavior, (e.g., diet and exercise), had greater expectations for improvement (p = .001) than those who attributed their GWI to deployment, physical, or psychological causes (p values > .05).
CONCLUSIONS
Findings support the possible clinical utility of exploring perceived contributing factors of PPS, which may increase perceptions that improvement of PPS is possible.

背景
个体对持续性躯体症状（PPS）病因的信念与应对方式的差异有关。然而，目前尚不清楚哪些归因与对改善的更高期望有关。
方法和结果
横断面回归分析（N=262）表明，将海湾战争病（GWI）归因于行为（如饮食和锻炼）的海湾战争老兵对改善的期望更高（p=0.001），而将 GWI 归因于部署、身体或心理原因的老兵对改善的期望较低（p 值>0.05）。
结论
研究结果支持探索持续性躯体症状的潜在可归因因素的可能临床意义，这可能会增加对改善持续性躯体症状的可能性的认知。
