Summary: This qualitative study explored the experiences of patients maintaining peer support groups after UK NHS group pain management programs (PMPs). The research found that continued peer support helped participants consolidate self-management skills and improve social life recovery. However, not all individuals found benefit in continuing to participate in peer support meetings after the PMPs ended.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between self-efficacy and self-management among stroke high-risk populations. The results showed that self-efficacy improved social support, with subjective support and support utilisation promoting self-management. However, objective support hindered self-management. The mediating effect of social support varied by type, and the positive effect of subjective support was offset by the detrimental effect of objective support.

Summary: Given the high prevalence of chronic conditions and multimorbidity in older adults, there is a need to better understand and measure self-care and self-management for a person-centered approach. This scoping review identified and mapped instruments measuring self-care and self-management of chronic conditions by older adults. A total of 107 articles (103 studies) containing 40 tools were included, showing substantial variation in aims, structure, theoretical foundations, development, and settings of the tools. The quantity of tools highlights the importance of assessing self-care and self-management, and decisions about suitable tools should consider the purpose, scope, and theoretical foundation.

Summary: This study investigates the effectiveness of goal management in online health communities (OHCs) for patients with chronic diseases, considering social support and self-regulation. The results show that informational support contributes to goal progress and self-reflection. Emotional support enhances self-reflection in patients with non-mental diseases. Additionally, the study finds that patients' self-reflection facilitates goal progress, while the lack of attention control hinders goal progress and self-reflection. Grounded in social cognitive theory, this study is among the first to empirically examine the effect of self-regulation and social support in OHCs.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of a 6-week Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) on self-efficacy, mental health, health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), and health responsibilities among vulnerable populations with chronic disease. The results showed that the intervention improved self-efficacy, mental health, HR-QoL, and health responsibilities for patients with chronic conditions, but did not significantly impact dietary habits, physical activity, substance use, and sleep and fatigue. For caregivers without a chronic condition, only doctor visits significantly decreased.

Summary: This review summarized the state of patient activation interventions for self-management of chronic conditions, identified effective intervention elements, and compared intervention effectiveness across different chronic conditions. While most interventions showed significant improvement in patient activation, meta-analysis of some randomized controlled trials did not confirm these findings. It is suggested that patient activation should be uniformly assessed and addressed across all chronic conditions to enhance patient engagement in care.

Summary: In a randomized trial conducted in Alberta, Canada, a tailored self-management education and support (SMES) program designed using advertising principles was found to reduce the rate of clinical outcomes among low-income older adults. The intervention included health promotion messaging and relay of clinical information to patients' healthcare providers. The study showed that the rate of the primary outcome, including death, myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary revascularization, and hospitalizations for cardiovascular-related conditions, was lower in the SMES group compared to the control group.
