In Brief Groups offer a forum for people with diabetes to gather and learn together. Group attendees and educators have an opportunity to use creative approaches to learning. This article defines groups, discusses related constructs, reviews effectiveness research and some of its unanswered questions, describes implementation challenges, and offers skill-building suggestions to educators who use groups as a part of an educational practice.

“…In the physical realm, important insights about self-management behaviours and healthy lifestyles have been developed and translated effectively into interventions (e.g. Clark et al 1992;Lorig et al 1999). However, successful ageing not only implies maintaining physical health, but also maintaining social and psychological wellbeing (Baltes and Baltes 1990;Kahn 1987, 1997).…”

How to understand and improve older people’s self-management of wellbeing

2005

This paper addresses the question of how older people can be supported to actively self-manage their own process of ageing such that overall wellbeing is achieved and maintained for as long as possible. Starting from a resource-based approach, a new theory of selfmanagement of wellbeing (SMW theory) is proposed, and it is shown how it can be used as a basis for the design of self-management interventions for ageing successfully. The main aspects of the theory, i.e. six key self-management abilities and the core dimensions of wellbeing, are presented as well as the theory-based 'blueprint' for the design of interventions. Empirical results of two intervention studies are briefly presented and show that the SMW theory may be a useful tool for the design and evaluation of interventions for successful ageing.

“…This self-regulation is often mainly related to the physical health aspects of aging, such as exercise and diet [see, e.g., [1][2][3]. However, the social and psychological aspects of life, such as social contacts, adaptation, and well-being, have proven to be just as important for elderly people to 'age well' [4].…”

How to Measure Self-management Abilities in Older People by Self-report. The Development of the SMAS-30

et al. 2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper presents the results of two studies carried out in order to design and test a self-report instrument to measure Self-Management Ability (the SMAS-30) in aging individuals. SMA refers to the core behavioral and cognitive abilities which presumably contribute to sustainable well-being in later life. Robust findings of the studies (n=275 and n=1338) showed that SMA could be measured reliably as a composite concept of abilities systematically linked to dimensions of well-being in adults aged 65 and over, with the different sub-scales revealing a profile of inter-related abilities. A sub-sample of participants in Study 2 (n=86) showed that the SMAS-30 had high reproducibility over a period of 16 weeks. The validity of the SMAS-30 was supported by meaningful associations with other constructs in both studies. As expected, the older and frailer the people, and the poorer their perceived health, the lower their SMA. Moreover, SMA was positively related to several dimensions of subjective well-being and the related concepts of general selfefficacy and mastery.
