Session Description

The purpose of this study was 1) to examine the significance of a patient’s active or passive role in terms of his/her health management; 2) to determine if a relationship exists between his/her active and passive scores and his/her self-directed learning readiness, and 3) to identify if his/her view of one’s self as a patient (when diagnosed with a chronic disease) impacts his/her own personal health management. By using management strategies we will find solutions to the challenges that we face when it comes to our quality of life, health management, and chronic illness.
