Chronic Illness: Ethical Narrative and Cognitive Approaches
Learn how chronic illnesses impact patients' psychosocial and ethical narratives. This course equips health professionals with tools to provide empathetic, holistic care while acknowledging the diverse ways patients interpret their experiences.

About this course
This course explores “meaning-making” in chronic illness through cognitive and narrative perspectives. The cognitive approach examines the foundational concepts, forms of meaning-making in coping with chronic illness, sociodemographic and medical influences, and empirical findings on its link to disease adaptation. The narrative approach addresses the temporal aspects of illness, identity disruption and reconstruction, moral dimensions, and the impact of social context on patients' stories. Finally, the course considers how each approach—or their combination—can be ethically applied in clinical settings to enhance culturally sensitive patient care.
