{"product_id":"9780190669867","title":"Promoting Self-Management of Chronic Health Conditions: Theories and Practice","description":"It is common for a doctor or healthcare professional to see an individual with a chronic health condition only a few times a year for a brief office appointment. Yet, the individual has to live with the health condition 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So, who really is in charge of managing the health condition? The individual has to \"micro-manage\" their condition, while healthcare professionals can provide advice on treatment approaches or the \"macro-management\" of the chronic health condition.  \u003cem\u003ePromoting Self-Management of Chronic Health Conditions\u003c\/em\u003e covers a range of topics related to self-management-theories and practice, interventions that have been scientifically tested, and information that individuals with specific conditions should know (or be taught by healthcare professionals). Data suggest that currently a majority of individuals in the U.S. has a chronic health condition, and as society ages and healthcare continues to improve individuals' life-spans, more people will experience a chronic health condition. Health systems need to shift from an acute care model of treatment to a chronic care treatment model, in view of this trend. The expanding need for the development and scientific analysis of formal self-management programs accompany this increase in chronic health conditions. This book serves the critical purpose of helping to increase understanding of self-management and how healthcare providers can empower individuals with chronic health conditions to self-manage.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072554647792,"sku":"9780190669867","price":97.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780190669867_p0.jpg?v=1763660794","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780190669867","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
