Rezumat

Încadrarea Cercetării în Contextul Științific: Semnificația reprezentărilor acestor boli este contribuția lor în a înțelege sensul și definiția pe care o atribuim bolii, precum și a modului în care le facem față și ne adaptăm (Leventhal et al. 1980). Participanții frecvenți acaparează foarte multe servicii medicale și îngreunează personalul și sistemul medical. (Bass & May 2002). Metodologie: Scopul acestui studiu au fost să caracterizeze percepția asupra bolii și a stării de rău printre participanții frecvenți și să înțeleagă cum aceștia percep sensul stării de sănătate. În acest articol prezentăm rezultatele a zece interviuri în profunzime semi-structurate. Rezultate: Rezultatele cercetării arată cum percepțiile asupra bolii, precum și deficiența în a face față bolilor în rândul participanților frecvenți, constituie un element care perturbă viața normală și necesită o utilizare considerabilă a serviciilor medicale datorită sensului de disconfort și a presiunii. Concluzie: Folosirea a unui model de intervenție, care să îmbunătățește reziliența psihică, pare a fi o posibilă soluție pentru reducerea fenomenului de participare frecventă.
