Book Description
"Chronic Conditions and Caregiving in Canada is based on the result of a nationally funded research program conducted by teams of multidisciplinary researchers. This collection includes innovative assessment and intervention studies involving patients with diabetes, cystic fibrosis, spina bifida, HIV-AIDS, cardiac conditions, and stroke. The studies evaluate various forms of social support on the basis of a model that is outlined in the first chapter. Several chapters explore barriers to accessing support and key strategies for seeking support. The final chapters summarize the findings and outline the challenges that still face researchers in the field."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
