Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In addition, due to the physical effect they produce, chronic diseases also have a strong psychosocial impact on both the sufferer and his or her family members. These diseases can affect mood, quality of life, sexuality, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, etc. Thus, it is important to establish interventions both to prevent and diagnose these diseases early and to establish care that can improve the quality of life, sexuality, moods, etc. of the people who suffer from them.
This Special Issue, entitled “Chronic Diseases: Biopsychosocial Impact, Interventions and Preventive Measures” seeks papers on new research aimed at preventing chronic diseases and identifying problems related to them and interventions to improve the health status of people who suffer from them. We also welcome high-quality systematic reviews related to these issues.
