Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

43.5K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Digital Health
  • Patient Empowerment

Background:

  • Patient-centeredness is key in healthcare quality, emphasizing collaboration with self-help services in rehabilitation.
  • Despite efforts, cooperation between German rehabilitation clinics and self-help organizations is inconsistent, with limited research.
  • Integrating self-help into healthcare facilities is vital for quality patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the "self-help friendliness" (SHF) of rehabilitation clinics by analyzing their internet presence.
  • To measure and compare self-help orientation on clinic websites as an indicator of SHF.
  • To identify clinic criteria associated with the presentation of self-help information online.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative content analysis of 400 randomly selected German rehabilitation clinic websites.
  • Systematic website screening using a 16-criteria instrument to assess self-help orientation (0-16 score).
  • Binomial logistic regression to determine factors influencing website self-help orientation based on clinic characteristics.

Main Results:

  • 61.0% of clinics scored low in self-help orientation; 41.8% had no self-help orientation.
  • 39.5% of websites showed high self-help orientation, with 7.3% achieving exceptional scores.
  • Clinics in oncology, neurology, and addiction care significantly predicted higher self-help orientation; size and sponsorship did not.

Conclusions:

  • The study reveals a significant gap in the self-help orientation of rehabilitation clinic websites, indicating unmet potential.
  • Increased emphasis on displaying self-help resources and fostering collaboration with self-help groups is recommended.
  • Adopting the SHF concept and integrating self-help into clinic missions can enhance patient-centered care.
