Self-Management: A Comprehensive Approach to Management of Chronic Conditions.
- Abstract:
For both clinical and economic reasons, the increasing number of persons living with chronic conditions represents a public health issue of growing importance. Emphasizing patient responsibility, and acting in concert with the provider community, self-management represents a promising strategy for treating chronic conditions— moving beyond education to teaching individuals to actively identify challenges and solve problems associated with their illness. Self-management also shows potential as an effective paradigm across the prevention spectrum (primary, secondary, and tertiary) by establishing a pattern for health early in life and providing strategies for mitigating illness and managing it in later life. We suggest ways to advance research methods and practical applications of self-management as steps in its future development and implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract:
Tanto por razones clínicas como económicas, cada vez son más las personas que llevan adelante su vida con alguna enfermedad crónica, lo que representa una cuestión de salud pública cuya importancia está en aumento. Al hacer hincapié en la responsabilidad del paciente y la importancia de actuar conjuntamente con la comunidad de prestadores de servicios de salud, el automanejo representa una estrategia prometedora de atención de las enfermedades crónicas que permite ir más allá de la información para enseñar activamente a las personas a detectar y resolver los problemas asociados con la enfermedad que tienen. El automanejo también resulta prometedor como un paradigma eficaz en el espectro de la prevención (primaria, secundaria y terciaria) porque establece un modelo de salud en la niñez y proporciona estrategias para mitigar la enfermedad y manejarla en las etapas posteriores de la vida. Proponemos diversas maneras de mejorar los métodos de investigación y las aplicaciones prácticas del automanejo, que a la vez pueden ser pasos en su desarrollo y ejecución futura.
