“…The results of this study underline the need to strengthen the quality of self-management support, including behaviour change, given by nurses and improve evidence-based practice. Providing vocational theoretical and skills training on self-management support, including nurses' understanding of self-management and explicit and consistent use of effective BCTs in routine practice, might boost the efficacy of self-management support in primary care (Jansink et al, 2010;Noordman et al, 2014;van Eijk-Hustings, Daemen, Schaper, & Vrijhoef, 2011;van Hooft, Dwarswaard, Bal, Strating, & van Staa, 2016). To further enhance the adoption of selfmanagement in primary care, efforts must be devoted to the sustainability and integration of the gained knowledge and skills into routine practice while maintaining compliance with other clinical demands (Heinrich, Candel, Schaper, & de Vries, 2010;Jansink et al, 2013;Noordman et al, 2013;van Eijk-Hustings et al, 2011).…”
