Description
This thesis examined the relationship between mental imagery and motivation for self-care in chronic disease management. A scale measuring frequency of health cognitions found greater motivation in those frequently imagining change. However, an intervention designed to increase frequency and intensity of these health cognitions found no change in behaviour. This research demonstrated that imagery-based training may not be effective in sustaining motivation in chronic health, but leaves open the possibility that it could assist in initial stages of disease management.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
