When darkness falls at mid-day: young patients' perceptions and meanings of chronic illness and their implications for medical care.
CONCLUSION: Young adults diagnosed of certain chronic illnesses ascribe supernatural interpretations to their disease condition. These determine their attitude to their condition as well as health seeking behaviours adopted by them and their families. Responses interfered with their biomedical care and thus have implications for health promotion and healthcare planning and policy. PMID: 23661817 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
