This straightforward volume examines today's health care picture in human and financial terms, focusing on the three leading causes of death in America-cardiovascular disease/stroke, diabetes, and cancer-and four debilitating conditions that confound both patients and professionals-arthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, and low back pain.
Morewitz applies current figures and expert future projections to the often-vague concepts of chronically ill patients and associated spiraling costs of care. Composite case studies put a needed human face on these growing populations and their needs. The book's consistent format and the author's lucid style make it as accessible as it is clinically useful.
Up-to-date, real-world coverage for each disease includes:
- Risk factors, including socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, gender, and age
- Typical disease processes and psychosocial symptoms
- Treatment options and rehabilitation outcomes
- Stress, quality of life issues, and coping strategies
- The impact of health care disparities on illness and disability
- Patient education and self-management techniques
Chronic Disease and Health Care describes the realities of diseases and their treatment with great clarity and insight, to give practitioners better understanding of patient populations and researchers access to critical health areas. In addition, the book is imperative reading for health care administrators involved in resource allocation, program planning, and cost reduction.
CHRONIC DISEASES AND HEALTH CARE: New Patterns of Diabetes, Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Fibromyalgia, Low Back Pain, Cardiovascular Disease, and Cancer. Twenty-?ve million Americans are victims of chronic disease, and approximately two-thirds of all deaths each year are due to cardiovascular disease (including stroke), cancer, and diabetes. This book evaluates new trends in epidemiology, health care costs, risk factors, treatment and rehabilitation outcomes, stress and coping strategies, social support, disability, patient education, and self-management for seven prevalent chronic diseases. Case studies from a clinical psychologist's private practice and the research literature are used to clarify the issues underlying chronic diseases and health care. There are many questions still to be addressed in the ?eld of chronic disease and health care. What is the prevalence of chronic diseases? What are the health care costs associated with these c- ditions? What are the major risk factors and health care disparities that contribute to the development of chronic diseases? How have these risk factors and health care disparities changed over time? What impact do chronic diseases have on disability, quality of life, and health care disparities? How do individuals cope with the stresses of chronic diseases? What are the most effective forms of social support? What are the most effective treatments and v vi PREFACE rehabilitation programs for chronic diseases? How can patient education and self-management activities be improved to help patients and their families better understand and treat their conditions? Chapter One analyzes the latest trends in the epidemiology of
