Self-management<\/h1><\/header>\n\n\n

Our Theme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Improving health outcomes in diverse populations through the science of self-management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Focus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Self-management is defined as a process by which individuals and families use knowledge and beliefs, self-regulation skills and abilities, and social facilitation to achieve health-related outcomes. Self-management takes place in the context of risk and protective factors specific to the condition, the physical and social environment, and the individual and family. Proximal outcomes are self-management behaviors and cost of health care services; distal outcomes are health status, quality of life and cost of health. Self-management is applicable to chronic conditions as well as health promotion [1-2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The science of self-management is advanced by scientists who are developing and testing self-management interventions in various health and illness conditions and with diverse populations. Their findings can then be translated to practice and curricula. The Self-Management Science Center at 51ÁÔÆæ<\/a>\u00a0is the nexus for collaboration among scientists at 51ÁÔÆæ and at universities nationally and internationally. The science is guided by the Individual and Family Self-Management Theory<\/a>, which was developed by Drs. Ryan and Sawin who were Self-Management Center Scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
