title: Responding to the challenge of chronic illness.
abstract: The management of chronic illnesses represents a major health challenge with interventions still being dominated by approaches that are more appropriate to acute conditions. Nurses have a key role to play in meeting the health needs of people with chronic illnesses and yet place little value on this type of care. This article reviews the Corbin and Strauss model of nursing which has proved effective in the management of a wide range of chronic illnesses.
