Abstract
lthough it is the individual who is diagnosed with chronic disease, the entire family experiences life with the illness. Chronic illness is a multidimensional experience; A the most efficacious support for families living with chronic illness will also be multidimensional. This paper summarizes what is known about support for individuals and families in which an adult member is living with chronic illness such as cancer, heart disease, or diabetes and suggests propositions that relate the demands of illness to the nature, source, timing and outcomes of support for families living with chronic illness.
