Summary: This study examined the self-management practices and levels of self-efficacy among adults with cancer under treatment in Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia, and found that self-efficacy, age, and education level were significant factors associated with patients' self-management practices. Age, gender, marital status, and duration of cancer were also identified as associated factors of self-efficacy. Enhancing patient adherence to self-management practices and increasing patient self-efficacy through educational interventions tailored to patient demographics and disease-related characteristics are crucial in cancer management.

Summary: This study explores whether patients' Patient Competencies (PCs) change during oncological inpatient rehabilitation, finding that self-regulation, managing distress, and coping self-efficacy slightly improved during rehabilitation but returned to initial levels at 9 months. Differential improvement was seen in seeking information and interest in social services, while some coping behaviors decreased markedly from the end of rehabilitation to follow-up.

Summary: This study aims to improve our understanding of self-efficacy in individuals newly diagnosed with MS by examining self-efficacy trajectories and identifying patient characteristics associated with trajectories in the first year following diagnosis. The study found that self-efficacy remains relatively stable in the first year following a MS diagnosis, but high symptom severity is associated with decreased self-efficacy at 12-months postdiagnosis. Clinical characteristics, such as MS diagnosis and disability level, also appear to influence the course of self-efficacy in this postdiagnosis year. Timely interventions can enhance self-efficacy and improve specific clinical characteristics, promoting healthy self-management of MS.

Summary: This study focuses on the daily interactions of cancer patients in a WeChat mutual help group and explores how social media technology can assist in the treatment and recovery process for cancer patients. The research finds that the WeChat group is a timely, popular, continuous, and accurate source of health knowledge for participating cancer patients. It also shows that the group provides patients with emotional support, recognition, and encouragement. In addition, the study reveals that the WeChat mutual aid group enhances patients' self-efficacy through successful experiences, imitating behavior, verbal persuasion, and emotional support.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy on aspects of social support and self-management behaviors in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The results showed that perceived social support had a partial mediating effect on self-management behaviors through self-efficacy. Therefore, interventions to increase self-efficacy and social support could enhance self-management behaviors in this population.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a self-management efficacy questionnaire (SMEQ-PSO) for patients with psoriasis (PSO) and evaluate its psychometric properties. The questionnaire, consisting of five dimensions and 28 items, demonstrated high content validity index, appropriate factor structure, and good reliability. Therefore, the SMEQ-PSO can be used to assess the self-management efficacy among PSO patients and provide personalized interventions based on their individual circumstances to improve health outcomes.

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: This study investigated the correlation between sociodemographic characteristics, self-management, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin. The results showed a significant negative correlation between HbA1c value and self-management score, indicating better self-management in patients with lower HbA1c values. Assessment tools are recommended to improve self-management ability and enhance blood glucose control in type 2 diabetic patients.

Summary: Optimal patient adherence to treatment is crucial for successful secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, unsatisfactory adherence rates have been consistently observed for CVD risk factors and treatment. This consensus document provides a modern reappraisal of adherence to optimal treatment and offers simple, practical, and feasible suggestions to achieve this goal in the clinical setting, focusing on evidence-based concepts.

Summary: In a rapidly changing health and care landscape, it is important to acknowledge the need for integrated care with a patient-centered approach. Unfortunately, care systems are often fragmented and focused on the condition rather than the patient. To address this issue, the Science Committee of the Association of Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions of the European Society of Cardiology has issued a statement on integrated care for those with cardiovascular disease. This statement outlines the evidence, challenges, and recommendations for practice, education, and research.

Summary: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a negative impact on psychological well-being and quality of life (QoL). This study examined the mediating role of self-efficacy, coping styles, and psychological distress on the relationship between illness perceptions and QoL in CKD patients. The findings suggest that psychological interventions targeting the mediating psychological processes associated with illness perceptions and psychological distress are likely to enhance QoL in CKD patients. The explained variance was 63.8%.

Summary: This study explores the interpretation of MS-targeted nutrition messages using semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that dietary changes made by patients with MS after diagnosis are a coping mechanism to address uncertainty, fear of disease progression, and the risk of relapse. The admiration and skepticism towards extremist MS diets depend on individual vulnerability and support from healthcare professionals. The unique MS journey influences the interpretation of the messages, driven by engagement, practicality, and credibility.

Summary: This study examined how language choices made by call handlers affect the progress of complaint calls and the stance of the callers. The findings showed that displaying affiliation at relevant moments in the conversation helps advance the call and de-escalate the complaint, while the absence or misplacement of affiliation may lead to escalation. Early intervention in establishing affiliation with the caller's concerns and reasoning is crucial for de-escalation.

Summary: This paper aims to understand the facilitators and barriers perceived by general practice physicians in initiating anticipatory guidance around firearm safety. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 18 GPs to explore their perspectives. Barriers to providing secure firearm storage counseling include inadequate screening mechanisms, limited understanding of who is at risk for firearm injury, time pressures, concerns about patient receptivity, and a need for training. Structural issues need to be addressed before focusing on how to have conversations about firearm safety.

The results suggest that this education approach is highly feasible and acceptable, and may improve health outcomes for participants. However, the evidence of effectiveness is limited and the quality of studies varies. Further research is needed to establish the effectiveness of this education approach for different patient and caregiver groups.
