När smärtan blir en del av livet : Livsomställning vid kronisk sjukdom och funktionshinder
When Pain Becomes Part of Life : Coping with Chronic Illness and Disability
Author
Summary, in English
By thus regarding life adjustment as a long-term process, the meaning of living with one's illness or disability is made clear. It should not be regarded as a finished event. Instead it will become a potential stress factor for the rest of the life.
Since these women are active workers, the importance of the rehabilitation situation for the life adjustment process is given special attention in the study. One conclusion is that a holistic rehabilitation (the personal working through process, medical and vocational measures) must be taken into account and co- ordinated in order to make it possible for the life adjustment to proceed.
