Description

Chronic disease is the most prominent health care problem in Canada. (1) Many initiatives to improve chronic disease care are being implemented and are commonly grounded in the Chronic Care Model (CCM). (2) This model adopts a system-wide approach to managing chronic diseases, identifying patient self-management as a key element. Improving patient self-management of chronic conditions can improve outcomes such as reducing blood pressure and glycemic levels; (1,2) optimizing quality of care; and improving health services use. (3,4) Self-management support (SMS) enables patients to better manage their illnesses; carry out normal roles and activities; and manage the emotional impact of their illnesses in partnership with their health care providers. (5) In Canada, however, as many as 40% of adults with chronic diseases report rarely or never talking with their primary health care provider about specific self-management to improve their health. (6) There are increasing efforts to understand patients' experiences managing their chronic conditions and accessing resources to support their self-management. (6,7) However, there is a paucity of information on providers' perspectives and experiences. Lack of knowledge about self-management courses among providers may contribute to lower community-based SMS course effectiveness. (8) Identified barriers to providers incorporating SMS in their work include competing time demands during clinical encounters, concerns over sustainability, and perceived lack of cultural relevancy to some patients.
