Chronic Disease Self Management for Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, Post-Myocardial Infarction Care, and Hypertension
In order to avoid the premature loss of potentially relevant studies, we broadly defined "chronic disease self-management" as systematic intervention that is targeted towards patients with chronic disease to help them to actively participate in either or both of the following activities: self-monitoring (of symptoms or of physiologic processes) or decision-making (managing the disease or its impact based on self-monitoring). All interventions included in this study attempt to modify patient behavior to reach specific goals of chronic disease self-management.
We attempted to understand the characteristics particular to chronic disease self-management programs that may be most responsible for their effectiveness.
