  • To explore self-management strategies employed by older adults diagnosed with asthma.
  • To propose new models of asthma self-management that acknowledge patient expertise and self-determination.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a 9-month qualitative research approach.
  • Employed in-depth interviews with 24 older adults with asthma.
  • Incorporated an open-ended questionnaire and two participatory action research groups.

Main Results:

  • Identified three distinct asthma self-management models: Medical, Collaborative, and Self-Agency.
  • Highlighted the importance of acknowledging individuals as self-determining experts in managing their chronic condition.
  • Data suggest current self-management approaches may not fully capture the lived experiences of older adults with asthma.

Conclusions:

  • Healthcare professionals should adopt a broader understanding of self-management in chronic illness to foster self-agency.
  • Respecting patients' expertise and lived experience is crucial for effective self-management facilitation.
  • Future interventions should focus on participatory relationships and personalized support, moving beyond 'off-the-shelf' solutions.
