The presence of a chronic illness not only disrupts functional, physical, and social aspects of life, but also evokes negative emotions. This situation leads to a decline in well-being and disrupts quality of life in all areas.

This Reprint addresses the complex and multidimensional challenges faced by individuals living with chronic diseases. Chronic illness affects not only physical health, but also emotional well-being, social functioning, and overall quality of life, making it a critical area of research and clinical practice. The articles collected in this Reprint explore psychosocial health, coping strategies, and the need for social and emotional support, offering a comprehensive view of patient experiences beyond clinical symptoms. By integrating perspectives from medicine, nursing, and behavioral sciences, this Reprint emphasizes holistic approaches that consider biological, psychological, and social dimensions of care. The findings presented here provide evidence-based insights that can guide healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers in improving patient-centered care and developing interventions that enhance quality of life. Through this collection, we aim to promote awareness of the importance of addressing emotional and social needs in conjunction with medical treatment, ensuring that care for chronic illnesses is both effective and compassionate.
