GARZON DE LAVERDE, Dora Isabel; ROJAS GIL, María Piedad y HIGUERA-DAGOVETT, Elkin. Reconfiguration of the Meaning of Chronic Disease: The Emergence of Wellbeing. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.2, pp.441-454. Epub 01-Jul-2020. ISSN 1794-9998. https://doi.org/10.15332/22563067.6322.
This research intends to gain insight into the pathways on which people narratives are configured and reconfigured to obtain the emergence of wellbeing. This is done through generative dialogues established by patients with chronic diseases at different stages of the life cycle, their families and health professionals. A qualitative research was carried out with a narrative-conversational design. Chronic disease experience is organized in problem-based stories and depicts a scenario where the self is crystallized in the relationship carer-patient, which implies the construction of an identity centered on the impossibility of taking care in a widespread sense that, in turn, fades the diversity of self. New insights on chronic disease experience have emerged during the conversational process, providing different meanings and relations. Therefore, it comprises a co-evolution towards novel ways of organization and generative coping, which enables new strategies to empower the patient and involve their relatives in a process of shared responsibilities aimed at improving the health status of people with chronic diseases.
