Daniela Lemmo, Ph.D. in Gender Studies, is a Psychotherapist and Researcher of Clinical Psychology at the University of Naples Federico II. Her research focuses on motivational processes and self-care engagement in people with chronic illnesses across the lifespan, within clinical health psychology. She explores the psychological dynamics underlying self-care behaviors, with a focus on emotional and narrative processes in prevention and chronic illness management. She has addressed women’s health from a gender-sensitive perspective and studied the mind–body relationship, examining meaning-making in oncological prevention and the adaptation to breast cancer in women under 50. She has participated in international collaborations between the University of Naples Federico II and the Centre for Medical Ethics at the University of Oslo, exploring intersections between medical ethics and clinical psychology. She conducts research interventions in hospitals and primary care to promote patient engagement and motivation for self-care. Using quali-quantitative methods, she investigates clinical models based on narrative meaning-making. She was part of the research action project MIRIADE, an innovative model for identifying adherence profiles in cancer screening, and is now involved in the national research program Age.It, focusing on change motivation in self-care for chronic conditions and the promotion of healthy aging.
