 note = {application/pdf, 論文(Article), Individuals with chronic illness face numerous challenges, but despite their medical conditions, they exercise creativity in continuing to live everyday life. Health care providers should regard them as survivors rather than victims or patients and take a holistic view of their lives rather than focusing only on pathology or behavioral modification. However, methods for achieving this holistic approach have not yet been established. The present study proposes methods to support survivors of chronic illness from a holistic standpoint using principles of conceptformation and the environmental viewpoint. Concept-formation has mainly been applied to developing innovations in the fields of business and design. The environmental viewpoint can be used as tool to promote behavior change in survivors of chronic illness. Health care providers are encouraged to utilize concept-formation as well as the environmental viewpoint, which could be useful as a means to help survivors discover alternative ways of coping with chronic illness.},
