dc.description.abstract | Chronic illness and disability restrict people's access to work and leisure occupations, so that they experience a loss of valued roles, self-identity and self-esteem (Reynolds, 1997). Swanson and Chenitz (1993) found that people with a chronic condition commonly describe themselves as having to redefine their sense of self, roles and goals, re-framing their place in the world ... and learning to live with a "new me" Jenson and AlIen (1994). This paper sets out to review the literature and demonstrate that positive participation in a leisure occupation, which is meaningful and challenging, will combat boredom and will enable the person to maintain a social identity that may have been lost when work roles are no longer an option. | en_GB |
