New Book Highlight: Self-Management in Chronic Illness : Principles, Practice, and Empowerment Strategies for Better Health

New Ebook Highlight

We’ve recently added Self-management in chronic illness : principles, practice, and empowerment strategies for better health to our online collection, written by MU’s own Dr. Laura Schopp, recently retired faculty in the Department of Health Psychology in the School of Health Professions.

This book, consisting of three parts, provides insights into the aspects of self-management as it relates to its definition and application. It highlights how self-management can be applied to various long-term health conditions, for different populations or target groups and in different contexts. The text provides an overview of self-management and the rationale for its applications by illustrating its use in specific clinical conditions and in different sub-populations and target groups.

Academics can use the book as a textbook when teaching postgraduate and undergraduate students about self-management as a technique to facilitate community reintegration for individuals living with long-term conditions. It can also be used by clinicians to enhance their management of individuals with long-term conditions. Furthermore, researchers can use the text to expand and support their research in this area.

You can access the book online.

Increase Your Research Impact: Choosing The Right Journal

By Rachel Alexander   Posted in J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library Resources and Services
Posted on

Research published in a high-impact factor journal reaches a wider audience. Thus, publishing in journals with higher impact factors and metrics is a great way to increase the reach of your research. Further, impact factors are a tool used to evaluate research in promotion and tenure committees.

Utilize the library’s journal evaluator tool to evaluate the quality and impact of your journal prior to submission. This tool will save you time by pulling impact factors, CiteScore, and other quality indicators for the journals you need, all in one place. All you need to search is the journal title or the ISSN.

Check out our library guide for more information on impact factors and journal metrics.
