Abstract

It offers an in-depth exploration into the diverse and complex health and illness experiences within various populations. This comprehensive examination highlights the critical role of individual and familial perspectives in understanding health and illness, emphasizing the intersectionality of cultural, social, and environmental factors. The study begins by outlining the theoretical frameworks that underpin current understanding of health and illness, including biomedical, psychosocial, and socioecological models. Methodologically, the study employs a mixedmethods approach, including qualitative interviews and quantitative data analysis, to capture the breadth and depth of experiences across populations. The research findings are expected to contribute significantly to the field of healthcare by providing a more nuanced understanding of how individual and familial factors, along with broader social determinants, influence health and illness experiences. In conclusion, this study underscores the need for healthcare systems and policies to be more responsive to the diverse needs of individuals and families. By integrating insights from this research into practice, healthcare providers can better support the health and well-being of various populations, ultimately leading to more equitable health outcomes.
