Conventional approaches to chronic illness in Australia have failed to meet the complex needs of sufferers, leading to an exponential rise in interest in and use of complementary self-care, particularly amongst women. In this study, drawing on a unique national sample of women suffering from chronic illnesses will provide critical insight into women’s complementary self-care practices and structures of disadvantage. This study will be the first worldwide to document previously ‘hidden’ complementary self-care practices, providing a new framework for understanding and promoting women's health and wellbeing in the context of chronic illness.

在澳大利亚，传统的慢性病治疗方法未能满足患者的复杂需求，导致对补充性自我护理的兴趣和使用呈指数级增长，特别是在妇女中。在这项研究中，利用一个独特的国家样本的妇女患有慢性病将提供关键的洞察妇女的补充自我保健的做法和结构的不利地位。这项研究将是世界上第一个记录以前“隐藏”的补充性自我保健实践的研究，为理解和促进慢性病背景下的妇女健康和福祉提供了一个新的框架。
