“…In this context, self-care refers to involvement in promoting health through the augmentation of internal and external resources and the prevention of adverse sequelae (Riegel et al, 2012). The core of self-care is the performance of daily routine behaviours and making healthy decisions based on the patient's current status (Dickson and Riegel, 2009), aiming to promote or maintain health (Richard andShea, 2011, Riegel andDickson, 2008). These perspectives might, at least on a general level, be possible to transfer to day surgery.…”

“…In these conditions, care is shifting to outpatient settings requiring people to learn how to manage on their own [5]. Chronic condition self-management refers to the ability of an individual, in conjunction with family, community, and healthcare professionals, to manage symptoms, treatments, lifestyle changes, and psychosocial and cultural consequences of health conditions [6]. Studies show that behavior patterns are among the main determinants of health, with actual healthcare services following far behind the individual's social circumstances [7].…”

Chronic conditions are the leading cause of death in the world. Major improvements in acute care and diagnostics have created a tendency towards the chronification of formerly terminal conditions, requiring people with these conditions to learn how to self-manage. Mobile technologies hold promise as self-management tools due to their ubiquity and costeffectiveness.The delivery of health-related services through the use of mobile technologies (mHealth) has grown exponentially in recent years. However, only a fraction of these solutions takes into consideration the views of relevant stakeholders like healthcare professionals or even patients. The use of behavioral change models (BCM) has proven important in developing successful health solutions, yet engaging patients remains a challenge. There is a trend in mHealth solutions called gamification that attempts to use game elements to drive user behavior and increase engagement. As it stands, designers of mHealth solutions for behavioral change in chronic conditions have no clear way of deciding what factors are relevant to consider.The focus of this work is to discover factors for the design of mHealth solutions for chronic patients; to do so, negotiations between medical knowledge, BCM, and gamification were explored through an embedded case study research methodology. The data obtained was thematically analyzed to create the Model for Motivational Mobile-health Design for chronic conditions (3MD).The 3MD model guides the design of condition-oriented gamified behavioral change mHealth solutions. The main components are: 1) Condition-specific, which describe factors that need to be adjusted and adapted for each particular chronic condition; 2) Motivation-related; which are factors that address how to influence behaviors in an engaging manner; and 3) Technologybased, which are factors that are directly connected to the technical capabilities of mobile technologies. 3MD also provides a series of high level illustrative design questions for designers to use and consider during the design process.The present work addresses a recognized gap in research and practice, and proposes a unique model that could be of use in the generation of new solutions to help chronic patients.

Abstract-Self-care is a human function that should be carried out by the individuals themselves, in order to preserve their life, health and self-esteem. During the past ten years, some approaches used by physicians and nurses to support self-care were identified to complement professional practices and structures, such as clinical supervision or leadership. This quantitative study was developed in a hospital in the North of Portugal. The start question was: "How to organize the system of clinical supervision in order to promote self-care and to contribute to the quality of care?" Participants were 110 patients hospitalized in a ward of the above-mentioned hospital. Two instruments were used to collect data. The first was a questionnaire focused on self-care and was filled out by rehabilitation nurses. The second instrument evaluated self-care as recorded in nurses' electronic records filled during the caring process. Data analysis pointed out that self-care notes in patient anamnesis were limited to hygiene, while the degree of dependence was often ignored. There appears to be some confusion in the records regarding concepts and evaluation of the degree of dependence in self-care. Suggestions are made to promote self-care inside the system of clinical supervision, in order to provide appropriate healthcare to patients.Index Terms-Clinical supervision, self-care, dependency, quality of care.
