Educating patients: self-management approaches
1Oregon Health & Science University Portland, OR 97239, USA. burkhac@ohsu.edu
Purpose:
To review and evaluate approaches to educating patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).
Methods:
A narrative literature review was undertaken to summarize the published literature on patient education for FMS patients.
Results:
A number of studies contain specific education strategies while others are combined with exercise or movement therapies or cognitive-behavioural therapy.
Conclusions:
Self-efficacy provides an effective theoretical model from which to understand how patients change as a result of education strategies that focus on self-management. Programmes that combine education with cognitive-behavioural techniques and exercise are most effective in enhancing self-efficacy and decreasing symptoms of FMS.
