Aim: The report gives information about the first clinical verification of a shortened Czech version of the most widely used questionnaire which enables diagnosing the patient's perception of illness - questionnaire IPQ-R (Moss-Morris et al., 2002). The study had three aims: to evaluate patient's perception of illness in a homogenous sample, to evaluate interpretations of the results by nurses including the determination of educational needs of patients, to find out the nurses opinion on justified use of the questionnaire in nursing anamnesis.

Methods: Shortened questionnaire IPQ-R-CZ (Brief) contains 20 items and comparable psychometric parameters of the original "long" version IPQ-R-CZ. It features five variables which characterize patient's perception of illness. The observed sample comprised 100 patients with mostly cardiovascular disease and five nurses who administrated the questionnaires and evaluated them using a key.

Results: The clinical verification showed that it was easy for the nurses to identify specific domains of educational needs based on results.

Conclusion: After some changes and verification based on factor analysis, the questionnaire could supplement the nursing anamnesis and become the basis for educational process in selected patients.

Keywords: patient, perception of illness, questionnaire IPQ-R-CZ, questionnaire IPQ-R-CZ (B), educational need, nursing diagnosis
