Abstract

This research aims to explore the fundamental data on self-management in health innovation, best practice, and factors or criterions that effect to the success of self-management in health innovation, as well as to develop the model of self-management in health innovation towards community strength. In order to accomplish the objectives of this research, a mixed methodology design is adopted which consists of quantitative and qualitative methodologies (Multisite multi-case technique). The findings of this research demonstrates that most health innovations are founded by the community leaders or intellectual folks in bringing local wisdom to solve health problems and the need of overall community to cope with the health of the community. The main networks of management include Local Administrative Organization (LDO) in collaboration with Health Service Organization through the use of social capital in the community, managed by the administrative committee. Besides, the regulations and social measures are regarded as an instrumental performance guideline. Accordingly, the best practices of self-management in health innovation are for instance divided into two directions of excellence: innovation of self-management process and innovation of self-management productivity. There are 10 aspects of factors or conditions for success as follows: 1) policy of the administrators in local administration, 2) participation, 3) potentiality of social capital in the community, 4) systematic administration, 5) use of information systems, 6) support of administration networks, 7) relative relationships in the community, 8) self-management tools of the community, 9) development towards public policy, and 10) group leadership. The factors or criterions that affect to successful self-management in health innovation consist of: 1) group leadership; 2) participatory issue; 3) networking; 4) information system for development and follow-up; 5) media and public relations; and 6) self-management administration. Furthermore, the model of self-management in health innovation named "3SI SELF-MANAGEMENT MODEL", which consists of a four-step major significant performances; 1) self-discovery and self-potentiality development; 2) networking empowerment; 3) community driving process; and 4) integration for strength. Additionally, this model evaluation is expertized and certified by public hearing.
