Acceptance of chronic conditions often has been studied from the perspective of grief and loss. This paper presents a new conceptualization of acceptance of chronic conditions that is grounded in the perspective of those living with a chronic condition and focuses on adaptation to and acceptance of change in one's life. Data obtained from a sample of 822 persons with multiple sclerosis and a sample of more than 2,000 polio survivors support the reliability and validity of the new Acceptance of Chronic Health Conditions Scale.
人们常常从悲伤与失落的角度来研究对慢性病的接受情况。本文提出了一种对慢性病接受情况的全新概念化理解,它基于慢性病患者的视角,着重关注对生活变化的适应与接受。从822名多发性硬化症患者样本以及2000多名小儿麻痹症幸存者样本中获取的数据,支持了新的《慢性病健康状况接受度量表》的可靠性和有效性。
