Meta-Analysis: Chronic Disease Self-Management Programs for Older Adults

Abstract: Self-management programs for diabetes mellitus and hypertension probably produce clinically important benefits. The elements of the programs most responsible for benefits cannot be determined from existing data, and this inhibits specification of optimally effective or cost-effective programs. Osteoarthritis self-management programs do not appear to have clinically beneficial effects on pain or function.

“…In self-management, patients solve their health problems as an active participant (Sohng, Kim, & Cho, 2001). Self-management programmes in the elderly have been studied in people who have diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and osteoarthritis, and it has been proven to improve self-efficacy (Chodosh et al, 2005).
