| Abstract: | Being diagnosed with a chronic illness can disrupt one’s life continuity. Narratives, such as past and future narratives are useful in reobtaining a continuity of life. An example to study narratives is recovery narratives that were previously analysed with the five components of the CHIME model. These recovery narratives and the CHIME model have been applied exclusively to people living with mental illnesses. However, people living with chronic illnesses and people living with mental illnesses face similar challenges, which might indicate that the CHIME model applies to chronic illness narratives. Studying past and future narratives can help to learn more about the recovery process of people with chronic illnesses. The narratives of 30 participants were analysed. To analyse past and future narratives of people living with chronic illnesses, the thematic analysis with a deductive-inductive approach was used. Illness narratives of the past and the desired future narratives in the form of Letters from the Future were collected as part of a larger study. The narratives were analysed under the lens of the five components of the CHIME model. All five components of the CHIME model could be recognized in the past and future narratives, with small deviations in the definition. |
