Health trajectory is the pattern of a person's health over time (Zangerle & Kingston, 2016). Health over time stems from numerus factors operational within a nested genetic, social, behavioral, environmental, biological, political, cultural, and financial contexts that change as an individual develops and grows. Nurses must understand the causes of change and course of change in health over time to better aid their patients in adapting to possible changes in the future. That is why managing the health of patients over time involves research not just in potential problems patients may face, but also in theories that can help facilitate a greater overall understanding.
One such article aimed to promote understanding of patient processes through self-management processes. "Three categories of self-management processes were identified: focusing on illness needs; activating resources; and living with a chronic illness. Healthcare providers can best facilitate self-management by coordinating self-management activities, recognizing that different self-management processes vary in importance to patients over time" (Schulman-Green et al., 2012, p. 136). Many people now live with chronic illnesses to the point where they need sufficient patient education to cope with their increasing and changing needs. By recognizing the various self-management processes patients must endure, nurses can help patients effectively manage their illness or health problems over time. This is because nurses will be better equipped to educate their patients in the areas they need the most help in like living with...
Many patients suffering from chronic diseases require referrals, various forms of therapy and medications in order to live comfortably and with minimal complications and pain. Therefore, if nurses recognize this need, they can mobilize and plan accordingly for the patient. They can look for or recommend medical professionals to assist the patient in dealing with their health problems. They can also recommend exercise and healthy eating habits to curb problems down the road due to poor lifestyle.
Recommendations cannot just come from understanding what patients need. It must also come from researching theory. The Health Change Trajectory Model is a theoretical framework that provides a better handling of uncertain or ambiguous health outcomes. "...Health Change Trajectory Model, provides original conceptual definitions that operationalize trajectory framework in the context of changes in health. The use of a health trajectory perspective extends applications of the model to a wide range of health changes"…

Patients with Chronic ailment are especially helpless against self-destructive conduct because of the emotional misery from debilitation, social avoidance, money related pressure, and dejection ascending from a drawn-out interminable condition (Pederson, 2018). The investigation involves a few constraints.

(Sipski, Alexander, & Rosen, 1996) Finally, it includes such things as the right to be a sexual person following neurological injury, the opportunity to have knowledge about sexual changes
Summary Suchman proposed five stages of illness behavior, referring to reactions to symptoms. The first stage is the experience of symptoms. Some patients see a doctor at first sign of symptoms whereas others wait until an illness progresses to severe stages. The second stage of illness behavior is the assumption of the sick role, followed by the third stage of medical care contact. The fourth stage is the dependent-patient role, and
