Self-reliance

The concepts of self-reliance and self-management are closely related but different. Self-reliance is mainly about ADL and IADL. Self-management is not just about being able to deal well with the consequences of the disease (e.g. ADL and IALD) but above all about having a good life with the disease.

In the case of Mr Albai, it seems as if he is self-reliant, because his ADL and IADL are regulated. Self-management is necessary, however, to maintain good family ties. For example, Mr Albai could deal differently with his pain (arthritis) by learning to be less dependent on his family.
