A researcher at the University of York, studying male attitudes towards self-managing long-term healthcare issues, has discovered that self-management support is better received by men if it does not threaten aspects of masculine identity.
Dr Paul Galdas, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Health Sciences, led the research published in BMC Public Health.
Dr Galdas reviewed current research evidence to see whether certain types of support are more appealing and accessible to men with long-term health conditions such as diabetes, heart failure and arthritis.
