Illness representations in chronic diseases: A literature review
Abstract
The prevalence of chronic illnesses, including hypertension, stroke, heart failure, diabetes mellitus, cancer, and chronic kidney disease, is rising globally. The primary causes of death and disability among patients are these kinds of illnesses. Consequently, healthcare professionals must focus more on these illnesses. This study aims to collect and examine articles related to illness representations in chronic diseases. A search for relevant literature was conducted using the following keywords: "Illness Representations," "Female," "Patient," and "Chronic Diseases" across three databases: PubMed, Taylor & Francis, and Science Direct. Time for articles with searches published from 2018 to 2023. Five articles were selected after screening 762 total articles in accordance with the PRISMA flowchart guidelines. The findings indicated that different populations have different representations of chronic diseases and that these diseases are reflected in the course of illness. It is important to take into account various factors that influence the way illnesses are portrayed, including stable health conditions, knowledge, perception, the duration of the illness, and marital satisfaction. It should be possible for future research to examine how illnesses are represented as chronic diseases in greater detail using a range of research designs.
