The aims for Phase Three are to: (a) test the effectiveness of the WTW intervention in
promoting psychosocial adaptation, fostering self-management, and contributing to an
improved quality of life; and (b) explore associations among focal, contextual, and residual
stimuli; psychosocial adaptation, chronic illness self-management; and quality of life. The
WTW Conceptual Model for Adaptation to Chronic Illness is displayed in Figure 1. (Figure 1
