Health within illness

| Annotation | The results are presented of an interpretative phenomenological study of eight people with a chronic illness or disability and their experiences of feeling healthy. The themes emerging that describe their health experiences include: honouring the self; seeking and connecting with others; creating opportunities; celebrating life; transcending the self; and acquiring a state of grace. The significance of these results is that they provide for a reconceptualisation of health and illness. Such a reconceptualisation calls for a transformation in nursing care, from a problem focus and a deficit perspective, to one which focuses on the client's capacity and the promotion of health and healing.
