Summary

Clinicians are consistently presented with the arduous task of characterizing, identifying, classifying, and evaluating response-to-intervention when treating or examining a broad array of patient populations. The primary aim of this chapter is to outline and define wellness among patients living with chronic medical conditions (PLW-CMC). An operational definition of a chronic medical condition is one requiring ongoing management and treatment over extended periods of time, often comprised of a broad constellation of conditions including heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, infectious diseases, metabolic/endocrine disorders, genetic disorders, and disorders resulting in disability/impairment [1]. The number of persons living with one or more chronic medical conditions continues to increase, both nationally and internationally. Thus, the need for literature pertaining to interventions that optimize a patient's quality of life (QOL) is pertinent, as health status is known to be associated with an individual's perception or appraisal of wellness, life satisfaction, happiness, and overall well-being.
