Self-Management Flashcards
Differentiate
Self-care vs. Self Management
self care: considered the tasks performed at home by people to prevent illness rather than managing an existing illness
* includes activities of daily living
self-management: the day to day management of chronic conditions by individuals over the course of an illness
* involves knowledge and beliefs, self-regulation, and social facilitation
similarities
*person engages in specific behaviours to achieve outcomes
Antecedents of self-care
define, list
Antecedents:
* what needs to be present for self care in chronic illness to exist
Includes:
* illness or treatment
* health systems: access, cost, relationships with providers
* environment: sociocultural, physical, access (internet)
Attributes of Self-Care
define, list
Attributes:
* what contributes to the likelihood of self-care - what does it look like?
Includes:
* readiness - for self-care
* ability - cognitive, mental health, age, sex, gender
* activity/practice - characteristics we see in self care relate to self-efficacy - having ability may result in increased confidence and individuals may be empowered to try something more difficult next time - i.e. breaking down tasks into smaller tasks
Consequences of Self-Care
- acceptance of disease
- health care cost reduction
- illness stability
- relief of stress
- quality of life
- changes in lifestyle
- enhancement of knowledge and awareness
- increase in adjustment with the disease

Describe
Proximal vs. Distal Outcomes
- proximal: individual and family self-management, cost of healthcare
- distal: health status, QOL, cost of health (direct and indirect)
- intervention is included as influencing context and process to influence proximal and distal outcomes
- context = risk and protective factors; process = self management
Self-Management Programs
- tailored to specific groups with a variety of delivery strategies successful at improving health outcomes
- aim to enhance ability of individual to imrpove health status, regardless of where they fall on the health-disease spectrum
- cross primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of care and prevention
Outcomes of Self Management
- condition outcomes - things to do to help improve illness
- individual, family and environmental outcomes - enhanced social support
- proximal vs. distal outcomes
- client-reported outcome measures
- population level chronic disease self-management data - promote greater health in the community
Role of Self-Efficacy
- belief in oneself to be able to do something
- self-management and efficacy are significantly correlated
Bandura on self-efficacy
4 components
- mastery experience - able to perform something successfully; able to master task
- vicarious experience - see positive outcomes in others and believe more in self - “if they can do it, so can I”
- social persuasion - can be positive or negative; positively encouraging or influencing someone to improve self-confidence
- psychological factors - self talk to promote selves and ability to be successful at meeting a goal or doing something
Assessment of COPD is based on:
- level of symptoms
- risk for exacerbatinos
- severity of spirometry abnormality
- presence of comorbid conditions
Nursing Practice Related to Self-Management
list 5 points
- coaching as a technique to enhance self-management and family management
- medication and treatment self-management
- nursing care coordination, technology, and medication self-management
- resources and supports
- interprofessional collaboration
Challenges with Self-Management Programs
4 points
- access far from guaranteed
- philosophy of client empowerment
- assumption of education - if management programs target too many interventions, can be overwhelming for patients
- potential widening between ‘haves’ and have-nots - SES can widen gap if interventions are for-profit or interventinons that require purchasing resources, transportation, etc…
