Preferred term

relationships as a factor in health treatment  

Definition

  • Close relationships such as marriage can have either a positive or negative impact on an individual's successful adjustment to and management of a chronic health condition. Because of this influence of family on health, researchers have developed family-oriented, psychosocial, or behavioral treatments to supplement the medical care received by the ill individual.
