"The individual’s ability to manage the symptoms, treatment, physical and social consequences and lifestyle changes inherent in living with a chronic condition."
Barlow, et al. Patient Educ Couns 2002;48:177.
Slide 5: Patient Educ. vs. SMS

Skills are generalizable.
|

- To carry out normal activities.
- To manage emotional changes.
Based on work by Corbin and Straus.
Slide 7: Collaborative Care

"If physicians view themselves as experts whose job is to get patients to behave in ways that reflect that expertise, both will continue to be frustrated. Once physicians recognize patients as experts on their own lives, they can add their medical expertise to what patients know about themselves to create a plan that will help patients achieve their goals."
Funnell & Anderson. JAMA 2000;284:1709.
Slide 8: What Self-Management Support isn’t…

- List barriers and strategies to address barriers.
- Specify Followup Plan.
- Share plan with practice team and patient’s social aupport.
An arrow leads up to Assess Beliefs, Behavior and Knowledge. Arrows lead from Assess to Arrange followup (e.g., visits, phone calls, mailed reminder) and Advise on specific information about health risks and benefits of change. Arrows lead back and forth between the Personal Action Plan and Arrange and Advise. Two more arrows also lead back and forth between the Personal Action Plan and Assist: Identify personal barriers, strategies, problem solving techniques, and social/environmental support and Agree: Collaboratively set goals based on patient’s interest and confidence in their ability to change the behavior. In addition, an arrow leads from Agree to Assist.
