Quality of Life and Psychosocial Adaptation to Chronic Illness and Disability

Abstract: This article describes and presents an initial analysis of a quality-of-life—based model of psychosocial adaptation to chronic illness and disability. This model, termed disability centrality, represents a conceptual and theoretical synthesis of several existing theories and models, drawn from the quality-of-life, rehabilitation counseling, and rehabilitation psychology literature. The model was analyzed in a cross-sectional analysis using survey-based research among 72 college students with disabilities. The … Show more

“…Models of psychosocial adaptation to chronic illness and disability address the impact of CI over a range of life domains, with employment being one of the domains most consistently identified as contributing to overall quality of life (Bishop, 2005;Livneh, 2001). The physical symptoms exper ienced by employees with chronic illness at work are often cited as reasons for resigning; however, there is research evidence to suggest that the real reasons for leaving employment include 'ugly organisational processes', which include a perceived lack of support and recognition of their contribution in the workplace (Vickers, 2008) leading to a reduced sense of personal efficacy (Johnson, Amtmann, Yorkston, Klasner, & Kuehn, 2004).…”

“…While models of psychosocial adaptation to chronic illness (CI) acknowledge the key role of the workplace as a contextual influence in the adaptation process (Bishop, 2005;Livneh, 2001), the mechanisms that underlie and promote positive work experiences for employees with chronic illness are poorly understood. A number of studies have reported higher levels of work-related impairment for CI employees than for non-CI comparison groups (Collins et al, 2005;Dean, et al, 2005); however, evaluations of psychosocial factors related to workplace well-being are comparatively rare.…”

“…A dor crônica provoca limitações que vão além do aspecto físico, pois também abrange aspectos psicológicos e sociais que interferem nas atividades do cotidiano, o que impede uma satisfação pessoal, provocando situações de esgotamento (POLIZELLI; LEITE, 2010). A vivência de uma doença crônica (em especial, de começo tardio) envolve um complexo processo de adaptação e traz consigo um conjunto de alterações que podem desafiar a visão que o indivíduo tem de si, das suas capacidades e do mundo (BISHOP, 2005). Os sujeitos do estudo passaram por vivências de incapacidade decorrentes da doença e sofrimento relacionado, além de possível desengano quanto a uma possibilidade de melhora.…”

“…A vivência de uma doença crónica (em especial de começo tardio) envolve um complexo processo de adaptação e traz consigo um conjunto de alterações que repentinamente podem desafiar a visão que o indivíduo tem de si, das suas capacidades e do mundo: a) alterações de papeis pessoais, sociais e profissionais; b) sofrimento físico e psicológico; c) auto-cuidado, por vezes complexo e prolongado; d) interferência ou evidente restrição na realização das actividades diárias (Bishop, 2005).…”
