* Physical dimension

This refers to the physical symptoms of the illness, such as pain, fatigue, and diarrhoea.

* Psychological dimension

This refers to the psychological impact of the illness, such as anxiety, depression, and stress.

* Social dimension

This refers to the social impact of the illness, such as the loss of employment, social isolation, and discrimination.
