| Popis: | This qualitative study examined how individuals with catastrophic illness and injury managed their personal and social world. The 28 males and females had endured their chronic conditions from 3 to 25 years prior to the study. Participants were individually interviewed. Responses were analyzed using grounded theory methods. Individuals with catastrophic illness and injury experienced three phases in bearing their situation: finding out, facing reality, and managing reality. Individuals did not progress through stages as has been argued by stage theorists. Rather, the phases flowed together and were reexperienced continuously. Individuals employed three strategies—protecting, modifying, and boosting—in all of the phases to help them endure their circumstances. |
