Highly anxious patients and those who were fatigued after orchidectomy might benefit from a multidisciplinary intervention. Continue reading →

How to measure self-management abilities in older people by self-report. The development of the SMAS-30

Posted on December 6, 2005 by






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… Continue reading →
