Self-management assessment in multiple chronic conditions: A narrative review of literature

This review revealed that current literature does not operationalize self-management in multiple chronic conditions as a process, indicating incomplete assessments of self-management. To obtain a more comprehensive understanding of self-management in multiple chronic conditions, future studies should consider self-management as an iterative process in addition to prerequisites for self-management and behaviors. Such studies will inform the development of patient-centered self-management interventions for individuals with multiple chronic conditions.
