Family Resilience in Chronic Illness Patients

This book focuses on family resilience among households coping with chronic illness. Drawing on case studies of families experiencing a first-ever stroke in a member, it delves deeply into the mechanisms of coping and adaptation when families face the impact of a major illness. The content is comprehensive and distinctly characterized. First, at the theoretical level, it offers a localized examination of family resilience, addressing a gap in domestic research. Second, at the practical level, it proposes a dynamic method for identifying family resilience in chronic illness contexts and, from a family strengths perspective, provides a clear pathway for social workers to intervene with families affected by chronic disease.This book is suitable for scholars and researchers across multiple disciplines, including chronic illness nursing, sociology, and psychology, serving as an academic reference for gaining deeper insight into family resilience in chronic illness and the application of related theories. It is also intended for clinical healthcare professionals, social workers, mental health practitioners, and family members of individuals with chronic conditions, offering practical guidance and insights for addressing the challenges posed by chronic illness in daily life. Ultimately, it aims to help affected families strengthen their resilience and improve their quality of life.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿;¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
