DIGITAL MEDIA IN CHRONIC DISEASE SELF-MANAGEMENT

ABOUT

RESEARCH UNIT DISELMA

The research unit DISELMA (Digital Media in Chronic Disease Self-Management) examines the continued use and effects of digital chronic disease self-management in its interpersonal, organizational, and societal contexts and the pertaining phenomena on each level.
 
DISELMA comprises six individual projects that bring together researchers from different subdisciplines of communication science and universities across Germany to investigate the multi-level and multi-perspective topics of interest. By integrating these individual projects and employing innovative methods and research designs, DISELMA aims to specify theoretical connections between the different levels and make them fruitful for related areas. Additionally, the integrated evidence on the significance of digital media in chronic disease self-management aims to contribute to healthier conditions and empower individuals to better cope with their conditions.
