| Annotation | This review and synthesis of the literature on older adults' self-care defines the construct in terms of preventive behaviours and responses to illness that are performed by lay people on their own behalf. Self-care is placed in an historical context, and theoretical perspectives and key findings concerning its incidence, correlates and barriers are reviewed. This is followed by a review of the process and outcomes of interventions designed to promote self-care. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research, policy, and practice. (RH). |
