Example text
The stress category included such features of life as specific losses through losing one’s job or bereavement, as well as long-term, less dramatic strains imposed by problems at work or at home. Physical trauma was a difficult category to construct, and covered a heterogeneity of factors including fairly simple phenomena such as falls and knocks, as well as more complex and culturally significant events such as a hospital operation or THE EXPERIENCE OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS 33 miscarriage. Any taxonomy is problematic, and the assignment of particular factors to more general categories depends a great deal on taking account of the context in which the event was discussed.
However, the extent to which a particular activity is problematic depends on the context in which it is performed (Locker, 1983). The inability to open a tin of food is no problem if you have never wanted or needed to do it, and there is somebody else there to do it for you. The experience of RA must be examined in relation to the context in which people live. It is this wider contextual aspect of chronic illness that is underplayed in most rehabilitation studies of activities of everyday life (Williams, 1987).
For the non-cancer patients the problem posed was a relatively academic exercise. For the cancer patients it was an invitation to reflect on the meaning and purpose of their lives. For people asked to explain the aetiology of their own serious illness, particularly where there are strong cultural associations with death or with life in a wheelchair, the explanations are likely to have more nuances because they are also interpretations of the meaning of their own life and the lives of those close to them, and justifications of the way they have lived their lives.
