Personal Control Techniques in Aging and Health
Learn personal control techniques to enhance well-being in aging. This course explores strategies to manage health, increase resilience, and improve quality of life in later years.
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.

Real reviews, real results
I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
