Harnessing the power of collaborative leadership in the management of chronic health conditions

ABSTRACT The study explored the key factors associated with the increase in the prevalence of chronic health conditions and the appropriate collaborative leadership approaches pursued by the healthcare managers and other stakeholders involved in the management of chronic diseases. The study utilized grounded theory methodology and the data were selected through a rigorous approach that ensured that the selected databases were comprehensive, relevant and inclusive. The study showed that the integrated efforts towards enhanced disease awareness lead to a significant increase in positive lifestyle change (t = 2.009, P = 0.0001), similar results were observed with increased disease screening (t = 2.192, P = 0.001). A significant reduction in the prevalence of chronic diseases was also achieved through integrated efforts aimed at disease screening (t = 3.223, P = 0.002) and disease awareness (t = 2.009, P = 0.0001). The adoption of team-based self-management of chronic health conditions was also reported to result in a significant reduction in the disease severity (r = −0.43, P = 0.03), cost of care (r = −0.56, P = 0.002), and increased quality of life (r = 0.711, P = 0.005). This study suggests that the healthcare managers should liaise with other stakeholders in the adoption of enhanced disease awareness, increased disease screening, and team-based self-management in the management of chronic health conditions.
