The effects of chronic illness on individuals and their significant others are explored. Through the use of exemplars of common chronic illness conditions, the emphasis is placed on the use of holistic nursing, and the relational role of the nurse in assisting clients and families to promote health, manage chronic health conditions and prevent complications.
