Chronic illness-related issues faced by a university professor and how they affect his performance

Abstract

This study aims to highlight the challenges that a university professor faces as a result of chronic diseases, as well as how these issues affect how well he performs his teaching, supervising, and scientific research duties. It also aims to highlight how the performance of the university professor varies depending on the type of chronic disease. The study's findings showed a high level of problems brought on by chronic diseases, but that these problems had no impact on the professors' performance at work and that there were no statistically significant differences in career performance based on the type of chronic disease. The intentional sample used the snowball method and included 44 professors from the University of Laghouat.
