Chronicity and Pandemic: Research Perspectives and Educational Actions to Support, in Changement, the Adult with Chronicity

The pandemic has introduced new elements of complexity in the existence of subjects, exposing them to unprecedented forms of fragility. These considerations take on greater meaning in the chronic condition in which such complexity must be reconciled with the tasks of the management of the disease. Starting from the results of a qualitative research on the formative dimensions in the self-management of diabetes, the paper highlights the contribution that the socio-material perspective on the chronicity experience can offer in outlining new research possibilities and educational actions that activate transformative resilience processes, to support the subject in living current life scenarios.
