Organization.
Characteristics of chronic illness according to WHO are following:
 Chronic illness takes a longer period for development, throughout which there might be no
visible symptoms.
 Chronic disease exists for longer duration, which might lead to other health complications.
 Chronic diseases are majorly caused by risk behaviors such as use of tobacco, smoking,
poor nutrition or lack of physical activities.
 It can last from 3 months to a year or even longer duration.

QUESTION 2
Provide five examples of major chronic conditions in Australia.
1. Asthma:
A condition in which the airways narrow and swell and reduce extra mucus. It causes
difficulty in breathing.
2. Diabetes mellitus:
In this disease human body cannot use glucose a type of sugar normally.
3. Heart, stroke and vascular disease:
They are a type of Cardiovascular diseases comprising heart and blood vessels which
move and pump blood around the body (Chronic conditions in Australia, 2021).
4. Cancer:
It is disease in which occurs when the cells of a human body grow uncontrollably and
spreads to the whole body.
5. Kidney disease:
This disease occurs when the kidneys of a human body gets damaged and become unable
to filter the blood as it should.
QUESTION 3
Explain the Wagner Model for chronic illness.
Wagner Chronic Care Model recognizes the six elements of health care system which
encourages chronic disease care. The elements include: health system, self management
support, delivery system design, community, decision support and clinical information
systems. The model is applicable to a range of chronic diseases, target population and
health care settings. Combination of change concepts under each element identified
encourages productive communication between the informed patients who actively
participate in health care and the provides with expertise and resources. The goal of this
model is to deliver care which is safe, timely, effective, equitable, efficient and patient-
centered.
Question 4
What is Integrated Chronic Disease Management?
Integrated Chronic Disease Management (ICDM) aims to improve the community and
health systems so that people with a chronic disease can receive the effective care across
the different stages of that disease. In ICDM, the role of Primary Care Partnerships is to
focus on facilitating service system integration between the primary health care and other
agencies in the delivery of services. It also aims to improve the client experience and
outcomes. It also involves supporting practice change which can lead to improve
interaction, care planning and referral (Integrated Chronic Disease Management, 2021).

QUESTION 5
We all grow up in different environmental and social conditions, for example where we live,
how we are raised, our cultural backgrounds, and the education we receive. These conditions
impact our lives, health and overall well-being. List five different life conditions and explain
how each has an impact on our health and well-being.
Cultural backgrounds: Cultural backgrounds are the standards of living and values of
persons. This can impact in their well-being and health as factors like nonacceptance of a
person due to cultural differences can cause depression.
Income levels: Per capita incomes of a human is related to his mortality levels i.e. the
people who have low incomes the mortality of the diseases and rates tend to be increased.
Socio-Economic demographics: Socio-Economic demographics of people like education
levels can affect the health. Educated persons have awareness about their hygiene and
nutrition. People with low education levels have low knowledge about hygiene and health,
which will increase the risks to disease.
Environmental determinant: The environmental conditions such as non-availability of
safe drinking water and inadequate management of disposal can lead to increased disease
risk.
State of condition: The population living and raised in poverty are forced to live in damp
houses with inadequate sanitation and insufficient heating which affects their well-being.
QUESTION 6
What are the core elements of the continuum of chronic disease prevention and care?
The elements of continuum of chronic disease prevention and care includes following:
1. Community
2. Health care systems
3. Self management support
4. Delivery system design
5. Decision support
6. Clinical information system (Berwick, 2019)
Based upon the recent evidences the additional themes were involved in Chronic Care
Model are:
7. Patient safety
8. Cultural competency
9. Care Coordination
10. Community policies
11. Case management

QUESTION 7
Research the Australian National Chronic Disease Strategy, for ‘chronic disease prevention
and care across the continuum’. What are the four key action areas under this strategy?
The key action areas under chronic disease prevention and care across the continuum are
as follows:
1. Prevention across the continuum: It focuses on the risk factors which increase
the likelihood that the disease will develop and the protective factors which
decrease the likelihood.
2. Early detection and early treatment: It includes the approaches and future
directions for early detection and treatment of diseases.
3. Integrity and continuity of prevention and care: It provides current approaches,
planning, supporting and future directions for integrity and continuity of care to the
diseases.
4. Self management: It provides the current approaches and future approaches such
as reorienting the health systems, prioritizing patient participation and involving
capacity of peers.
QUESTION 8
Explain the importance of maintaining a positive life role for a person with a chronic illness.
Maintaining a positive life role for a Chronic illness patient is important because:
 It can be uplifting and helpful to the patients and transform negative thoughts into
the positive thoughts.
 The positive cultures can transfer over to assumptions about the health which helps
in healing faster.
 It can be uplifting and helpful to the patients.
 Positive approach can help in making the worse things into cognizant.
 It can make the patients to complete the simple task which they felt impossible as a
chronic disease patient.
 Positivity might help the mental health of people with chronic disease.
QUESTION 9
Explain the five stages in the transtheoretical model of change?
The stages of TransTheoretical Model of change are:
1. Precontemplation: In this stage people do not want to take decisions in the near
future as they are unaware of problematic consequences.
2. Contemplation: In this stage people recognize their problematic behaviors and
then aim to start the healthy behavior in near future (The Transtheoretical Model
(Stages of Change), 2019).

3. Preparation: In this stage people are determined and ready to take appropriate
action in the next few days.
4. Action: In this stage, people aim to keep moving ahead with their changed
behaviors or modify their problematic behaviors.
5. Maintenance: In this stage, people have kept their changed behaviors for more
than 6 months and aim to prevent relapse to previous stages.
Termination: In this stage people eliminate their past problematic behaviors and aim to
stay in the maintenance stage.
