NHES SKILLS

Self Management

Having self management skills "means following specific steps or actions for safety, hygiene and stress management". A student demonstrates appropriate application of this skill when he / she can show the correct steps to take in an emergency, the actions to avoid risk and stay safe, the habits to develop to stay healthy, and the ways to keep stress from having an unhealthy impact. Some examples of activities that build this skill include demonstrations, interviews, role plays. (from: Assessing Health Literacy: A Guide to Portfolios).
