Nearly one-half of the estimated 1.63 million American patients who survived the polio epidemics of the 1940s and 1950s are re-experiencing symptoms of the acute illness. This exploratory study of 125 aging post-polio survivors examined the differences of symptom distress, health locus of control, and coping resources for survivors who had and those who had not incurred a chronic physical disability following the acute phase of poliomyelitis. The Symptom Rating Test, the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale, and the Coping Resources Inventory were used. No significant differences were found between disability groups concerning symptom distress, health locus of control, or coping resources. However, significant negative correlations were found between coping resources and both the quantity and severity of symptom distress. The differences found between perceived health locus of control and both coping resources and symptom distress were marginally significant.
在20世纪40年代和50年代脊髓灰质炎流行疫情中幸存下来的约163万美国患者中，近一半正在再次经历急性疾病的症状。这项针对125名老年脊髓灰质炎后幸存者的探索性研究，考察了在脊髓灰质炎急性期后出现和未出现慢性身体残疾的幸存者在症状困扰、健康控制点和应对资源方面的差异。使用了症状评定测试、多维健康控制点量表和应对资源量表。在残疾组之间，未发现症状困扰、健康控制点或应对资源方面存在显著差异。然而，应对资源与症状困扰的数量和严重程度之间均存在显著负相关。在感知到的健康控制点与应对资源和症状困扰之间发现的差异具有微弱的显著性。
