Aims: The aim of this study was to provide an overview of existing knowledge about self-management assessment tools used in patients with schizophrenia, and levels of self-management and associated factors in these patients.
Background: Self-management empowers patients with chronic conditions to manage their illness and psychosocial consequences. With respect to patients with schizophrenia, knowledge concerning self-management is scarce. A systematic review of existing literature focusing on self-management in these patients may contribute to further research programming and practice development.
Design: A systematic review of the literature.
Data Sources: A systematic literature search was conducted in March 2015 in Medline, Embase, PsycINFO and CINAHL.
Review Methods: Twelve articles were included. Data were extracted and categorized following the objectives of this review: (1) self-management assessment tools and their psychometric properties; (2) level of self-management; and (3) factors associated with self-management in patients with schizophrenia.
Results: The PIH scale, the PAM-MH and the IMR scale were used to assess self-management. The overall psychometric quality of these instruments showed to be fair to poor. The level of self-management in patients with schizophrenia is comparable with other mental health conditions, higher than general population and lower than patients with physical health conditions. Several factors (e.g. sense of coherence, recovery and hope) were found to be associated.
Conclusion: Further efforts are needed to increase the methodological quality of psychometric research on self-management assessment tools. More insight in the level of self-management and associated factors may enhance the development of future interventions.

Using Community Engagement to Create a Telecoaching Intervention to Improve Self-Management in Adolescents and Young Adults With Cystic Fibrosis: Qualitative Study.
J Particip Med
January 2025
Division of Allergy & Pulmonary Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, MO, United States.
Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at risk for deviating from their daily treatment regimen due to significant time burden, complicated daily therapies, and life stressors. Developing patient-centric, effective, engaging, and practical behavioral interventions is vital to help sustain therapeutically meaningful self-management.
Objective: This study aimed to devise and refine a patient-centered telecoaching intervention to foster self-management in AYA with CF using a combination of intervention development approaches, including an evidence- and theory-based approach (ie, applying existing theories and research evidence for behavior change) and a target population-centered approach (ie, intervention refinement based on the perspectives and actions of those individuals who will use it).

Background: Telehomecare monitoring (TM) in patients with cancer is a complex intervention. Research shows variations in the benefits and challenges TM brings to equitable access to care, the therapeutic relationship, self-management, and practice transformation. Further investigation into these variations factors will improve implementation processes and produce effective outcomes.

Background: Approximately 30% of the adult population experiences symptoms under the concept of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). To identify patients with TMD who may require further evaluation, three screening questions (3Q/TMD) have been introduced.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence of self-reported TMD and the amount of treatment received by patients in the Public Dental Service in Stockholm and how many were referred to an orofacial pain specialist.
