Self-Care Experiences of Adults with Chronic Disease in Indonesia: An Integrative Review.

We conducted a literature review to document what is known regarding the self-care experiences and various influencing factors among adults living with chronic disease in Indonesia, from the perspective of those living with the illness. We searched CINAHL and Google Scholar to identify peer-reviewed research focused on men and/or women living with a chronic disease (the most prevalent) in urban or rural settings in Indonesia. Using a "Self-Care of Chronic Illness" framework as a guide, information on self-care experiences and how various factors influence these experiences, was extracted and synthesized.
