Convalescence is the period of recovery and recuperation following an illness, injury, or surgery. It is a critical phase in the healing process where the body gradually regains strength, energy, and overall health. Research in convalescence focuses on understanding the physiological, psychological, and social factors that influence the recovery process and identifying effective strategies to support and enhance the recovery of individuals during this period. This research area is important for improving patient outcomes, reducing complications, and enhancing overall well-being during the recovery process.
