Women discussed a loss of self-determination during periods of illness, particularly in relation to hospitalization, when they perceived "having one's freedom stripped away" (p. 55) [ 37], treatment [ 43] and threat of custody loss [ 41].
Determination of household AIDS-illness required identification of three or more AIDS-defining illnesses (i.e. HIV-wasting syndrome, Kaposi sarcoma, oral candidiasis, vaginal cancer, jaundice or herpes zoster).
Some of the characteristics associated with resilience in physical illness are self-efficacy, self-empowerment, acceptance of illness, determination, optimism, hope, and mastery [ 29].
The determination of the level of illness acceptance broadly matches the more and more common interest of medicine studies in the issues related to the quality of life.
The data obtained during the follow-up were final determination of diagnosis, duration of illness (recovery duration), treatment with antimicrobials, and number of days absent from DCC. Physicians were notified of the NP culture results after the follow-up.
We inferred that the logarithmic relationship between the single score scale, the CGI-SCH, and the plural score scale, the BPRS, might be an important tool in our determination of the severity of illness.
Though the role of illness duration in the determination of potential neuroprogression has not yet been definitively identified, our findings support onset age as a more significant predictor of poor illness course than total illness duration.
In addition, the determination of adequate treatment for mental illness should be assessed by an appropriately trained mental health provider familiar with the procedure and necessary compliance.
Longitudinal studies would enable determination of incidence of key chronic illnesses, with data being collected directly from patients as well as from clinical records.
Early (pre-ICU) determination of DNR status reduces the number of futile admissions to the ICU leading to a probable reduction in overall severity of illness.
