Presenters: Elaine C. Wiersma (PhD), Associate Professor, Department of Health Sciences at Lakehead University and Lisa Loiselle (MA), Associate Director of Research at Murray Alzheimer Research and Education Program (MAREP)
This event will provide an overview of concepts of self-management in chronic disease prevention and management, and discuss how concepts of self-management can be applied in the dementia context. Self-management, or learning the skills to continue to live healthy and well lives with a chronic condition, has typically been used in chronic conditions that are physical in nature, but not as frequently with dementia or mental health conditions. Self-management approaches for dementia care and research exploring the meanings and perceptions of self-management in the dementia context will be presented.
