Describe the stages of adjustment to a disabiling illness or injury
|
Early reactions may be defense, shock, and denial. (“This can’t be happening to me!”) The person often is confident of recovery. The person may also experience fear and anxiety.
•The client often experiences anger and wants to retaliate, asking, “Why me? I’ll get even with someone for this!” •Many people try to bargain with God or make deals. “I will be a better person if I can just recover.” •Eventually, the client with any permanent disability must face reality and may experience severe depression. •It is hoped the client will come to accept limitations and actively participate in developing realistic long-range goals. Some people have great difficulty in attaining acceptance. Sometimes, psychiatric assistance or counseling is an essential part of rehabilitation. Children and adolescents who have been injured or who have degenerative diseases face additional challenges because they are dealing with disability or disease along with the usual challenges of maturation. |
