This paper addresses the question of how older people can be supported to actively self-manage their own process of ageing such that overall wellbeing is achieved and maintained for as long as possible. Starting from a resource-based approach, a new theory of self-management of wellbeing (SMW theory) is proposed, and it is shown how it can be used as a basis for the design of self-management interventions for ageing successfully. The main aspects of the theory, i.e. six key self-management abilities and the core dimensions of wellbeing, are presented as well as the theory-based 'blueprint' for the design of interventions. Empirical results of two intervention studies are briefly presented and show that the SMW theory may be a useful tool for the design and evaluation of interventions for successful ageing.
本文探讨了如何支持老年人积极自我管理其衰老过程,从而尽可能长久地实现并维持整体幸福感。从基于资源的方法出发,提出了一种新的幸福感自我管理理论(SMW理论),并展示了该理论如何能够作为成功衰老的自我管理干预措施设计的基础。文中介绍了该理论的主要方面,即六种关键的自我管理能力和幸福感的核心维度,以及基于该理论的干预措施设计“蓝图”。简要介绍了两项干预研究的实证结果,结果表明SMW理论可能是成功衰老干预措施设计与评估的有用工具。
