Mishel's Uncertainty In Illness Theory
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Grappling with the fact that one has a terminal illness reaches far beyond the initial fear reaction associated with learning such a reality; figuring out what needs to be done in the way of treatment options, interpreting test results, dietary requirements and emotionally digesting the definitive diagnosis can lead patients into a downward spiral of unmitigated anxiety. The extent to which this level of uncertainty cultivates unnecessary stress that in turn serves to exacerbate the patient's situation is both grand and far-reaching; that Mishel's Uncertainty in Illness theory seeks to mollify those fears by educating patients about various support systems and ways in which to remain in control of one's life speaks to the ability each individual has to empower herself with the capacity to promote their own care without depending upon others to gain the critical information they need to address the illness.
