About this course
Personal control plays a critical role in shaping health outcomes and fostering resilience in aging populations. Declines in perceived, desired, and actual control often accompany the aging process, yet evidence-based strategies can mitigate these challenges and support adaptive coping. This discussion examines how personal control evolves across the lifespan, explores the distinction between primary and secondary control strategies, and highlights their impact on managing chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and chronic pain. By incorporating practical tools such as control-enhancing interventions, adaptive coping mechanisms, and personalized approaches, healthcare professionals can empower older adults, preserve autonomy, and improve quality of life. Advanced topics, including the interplay between personal control, mental health, and social support, provide additional insights for promoting healthier and more resilient aging.
