Week 2 project
The Impact of Chronic Illness
Identify one person from the illness group you chose in Week
1. The person should not be a patient at the facility in which you work. You
can use friends, family members, or coworkers. Do not use the person’s name in
the paper but only initials. Administer the questionnaire you created in Week 1
to that person. Compile the data and analyze the responses to better illustrate
where this person, his or her family, and friends are in relation to accepting
the diagnosis in relation to the standard health or illness definitions. The
analysis should also include coping skills, treatment, and support aspects of
the illness. Identify how this will direct care plan development for the chosen
illness group.
Compile a report of your interview with the questions you
created, the responses you received, your analysis, and your interpretation of
how it will affect planning care for the group in a 4- to 5-page Microsoft Word
document.
Support your responses with examples.
On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA
format.
