Relation between health literacy, self-care and adherence to treatment with oral anticoagulants in adults: a narrative systematic review
2018
Background Oral anticoagulants (OAC) are widely used in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, for optimal OAC self-care patients must have skills, among which health literacy (HL) is highlighted. We aimed to describe the relation between HL and self-care in cardiovascular patients on OAC treatment. Methods Electronic searches were carried out in the PubMed, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, SciELO, IME-Biomedicina, CUIDEN Plus and LILACS databases, limited to Spanish and English language and between January 2000–December 2016. Papers reported on adults older than 18 years, taking OAC by themselves for at least three months. PRISMA guidelines were used for p…
Fear of hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes: The role of interoceptive accuracy and prior episodes of hypoglycemia.
2017
Abstract Objective Fear of hypoglycemia (FoH) is a limiting factor for diabetes self-management and can have detrimental effects on quality of life. However, relatively little is known about its underlying mechanisms. In line with findings on patients with anxiety disorders, we hypothesized that interoceptive accuracy (IA) might be positively linked to FoH in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods 133 patients with T2DM were screened according to the extreme quartiles of the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey worry subscale (HFS-W). Overall, 66 participants (HFS-W 17) were included in the present study. Participants completed questionnaires on sociodemographic and diabetes-related measures. …
Positive impact of a family practice-based depression case management on patient's self-management.
2010
Abstract Objective Family practice-based depression case management improves depression symptoms and adherence to medication. The aim of this study was to explore the long-term effects of practice-based depression case management on patient depression-related self-management knowledge and activities. Methods This long-term follow-up of a randomized controlled trial study took place 12 months after the end of the 1-year case management intervention. We used a modified version of the depression-specific self-management questionnaire described in Ludman et al. [ Psychol Med , 33 (2003) 1061–1070]. Analyses of self-management knowledge and activities used a linear mixed model accounting for pra…
Empowering citizens for well-being and chronic disease management with wellness diary.
2010
Chronic conditions closely related to lifestyles are the major cause of disability and death in the developed world. Behavior change is the key to managing well-being and preventing and managing chronic diseases. Wellness diary (WD) is a mobile application designed to support citizens in learning about their behavior, and both making and maintaining behavior changes. WD has been found acceptable, useful, and suitable for long-term use as a part of an intervention. When used independently, however, it does not seem to have enough engaging and motivating features to support adoption and long-term commitment. The main improvement needs identified based on a review of WD-related studies were: p…
INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF-MANAGEMENT OF BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENT’S PERSONALITY AND HEALTH HABITS. THEORETICAL ASPECT
2018
Until now, there has been done little research on the purposeful biopsychosocial development of student personality in Latvia. Also, in pedagogical science there has been little done on the formation of balanced development self-management skills in humans. Each person's biopsychosocial development is in harmony with its health or lifestyle habits. The quality of student life and studies depends on their health which is affected by health habits. Their formation is closely linked to the formation of biopsychosocial development self-management skills in students. The objective of this paper is to analyse the interrelationship between personality biopsychosocial development self-management sk…
Patients' perceptions of well-being using a guided self-management plan in asthma
2004
Summary Asthma can place considerable restrictions on the health-related quality of life of asthma patients and their families; this burden may be greatest when symptoms are not adequately controlled. The Symbicort® Adjustable Maintenance Dosing Programme, consisting of studies from several different countries, compared a guided self-management plan that allows adjustable maintenance dosing using budesonide/formoterol in a single inhaler (Symbicort) with fixed dosing. Quality of life was assessed in three countries, using asthma-specific and generic questionnaires. Clinically relevant improvements in mean quality of life scores were observed from the beginning to the end of the 1-month run-…
Implementation and Outcomes of Lay Health Worker-Led Self-Management Interventions for Long-Term Conditions and Prevention: A Systematic Review.
2019
The aim of this study was to systematically review lay health worker (LHW)–led self-management interventions for adults with long-term conditions to see how the interventions have been implemented and to compose a synthesis of research findings, taking into consideration the intervention components that have been applied. We conducted systematic searches for articles published between January 2010 and December 2015 in five databases: Cochrane, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. Forty original studies were found that met the inclusion criteria: self-management with diabetes ( n = 29), cardiovascular diseases ( n = 8), and those at risk of cardiovascular diseases ( n = 3). These …
A concept to empower self-management of psychophysiological wellbeing: preliminary user study experiences.
2009
In prevention of chronic diseases, health promotion and early interventions based on self-management should be emphasized. Mental health problems and stress cause a significant portion of healthcare costs, and also complicate the management of other chronic conditions. In addition to physical health, psychophysiological and social wellbeing should be equally promoted. Thus, we have previously designed and reported the P4Well or Pervasive Personal and PsychoPhysiological management of WELLness concept for working-age citizens. The concept supports the stress and recovery management on a daily basis through improved health management strategies, and combines psychological methods with persona…
Mens sana in corpore exhausto. Emociones y gestión de sí en escuelas secundarias del sur global
2020
In recent years, emotional education has become a central element in a series of guidelines on a global scale that have been translated into various state initiatives aimed at education. Thus, Mens sana in corpore exhausto proposes to demonstrate the tension that is expressed between the growing series of discourses on emotional education and the school climate and the exhaustive bodies of teachers and directors of public secondary schools in the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires (RMBA). By way of hypothesis, these policies are considered to work on the bodies of teachers and directors, encouraging them to continue and not stop under the logic of management and self-management that throw …
