Ability, Disability, and Chronic Conditions. Prior to completing this discussion, read
the Schneiderman (2004) article, “Psychosocial, Behavioral, and Biological Aspects of Chronic Diseases,” and
review any relevant Instructor Guidance.
In 200-250 words, analyze the basic issues of human biology as they relate to chronic conditions and describe the
interaction between disability, disease, and behavior. Examine and discuss the impact of biological health or
illness on social, psychological, and physical problems from the micro, mezzo, and macro perspectives. Choose a
chronic condition from those provided in your text and consider how you might feel, think, and behave differently
if the condition were affecting you versus if the condition were affecting a stranger. How might you think
differently about this chronic condition if it were affecting someone close to you, your neighbor, or someone in
your community? Please include at least two supporting scholarly resources.
Cancer. Prior to completing this discussion, read Chapter 9 in the textbook, the
“Introduction to the Miller Family” document, and review any relevant Instructor Guidance.
Our stage of life, intellectual/cognitive abilities, and sociocultural position in life, affect our perspectives and
resultant behaviors about a number of conditions including cancer. Consider the information provided in the
“Introduction to the Miller Family” document. Both Ella and Elías have been diagnosed with cancer. Ella has
been fighting cancer with complementary and alternative methods with some success for many years. Elías, her
grandson, is 10 years old and has recently been diagnosed with leukemia but has not yet begun treatment. Putting
yourself in either Ella or Elías’s place, what might your perspective on your cancer be? Integrate how the stage of
life, cognitive abilities, and sociocultural position of your chosen person impacts her/his perspective on his/her
individual disease.
