The Centre for Advancement in Health (1996) proposed the following
definition:
“Involves [the person with the chronic disease] engaging in activities that protect and promote health, monitoring and managing of symptoms and signs of illness, managing the impacts of illness on functioning, emotions and interpersonal relationships and adhering to treatment regimes.” (p.1)

Kate Lorig (1993) states that self-management is also about enabling:
“Participants to make informed choices, to adapt new perspectives and generic skills that can be applied to new problems as they arise, to practice new health behaviours, and to maintain or regain emotional stability”.

What is Self-management?
Self-management is the active participation by people in their own health care. Self-management incorporates health promotion and risk reduction, informed decision making, following care plans, medication management, and working with health care providers to attain the best possible care and to effectively negotiate the often complex health system.
National Chronic Disease Strategy, 2006

Success dependent on: Relationships!
Underpins the quality of collaboration, negotiation and client centredness not just between the client and health care worker but also between health care workers who must work more as a team than individual practitioners

Impact of Flinders Tools
Traditional assessment methods focus on medical and physical
Structured approach builds rapport and mutual trust and respect
Identifies the social, economic, spiritual, emotional and cultural issues which may be barriers to self-management
Client agrees what is to be addressed, when and how. Their priorities are important!
Not all things can be tackled at once! Health workers need to look after themselves as
well! They are role models!

Stanford & Aboriginal Health
Presented course (in original format) to a group of Aboriginal community members who all have chronic conditions
Participants were invited to give feedback at every session
Through our observations, evaluation activities and a focus group after the course, we found that changes were needed

Adaptation ProcessCourse re-presented with a few minor changes…
Findings: Difficulties with language predominant Some activities needed to presented in different
order Examples to reinforce concepts were made ‘real’ Grief & Loss recognised as having a major impact
on Aboriginal people’s health – new activity designed using the same process!
Less emphasis on people attending only one 6 week course

Outline of ‘Understanding Grief & Loss’
Placed immediately after ‘Dealing with Difficult Emotions’
After a brief definition of ‘Grief’ we brainstorm “What are some of the feelings that people go through when they are grieving?”
Stages of Grief & explanation Brainstorm “What are some of the reasons for
people to feel grief?” Discussion around Coping with Grief Brainstorm “What are some ways for people to cope
with grief?” Further discussion leading to possible ways to get
help

How did it go?
Previous sessions on grief and loss difficult – some people loathe to discuss - “taboo subject”
This session, based on the process designed by Stanford, was a gentler way to get people to open up and no one objected
The process allowed people to talk generally without feeling like they were in the spotlight
