An Internet-based Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) effectively improved patient health statuses. This digital program is a viable alternative to in-person, small-group CDSMP interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health Interventions
  • Chronic Disease Management
  • Health Behavior Change

Background:

  • The small-group Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) is effective for managing chronic conditions.
  • An Internet-based CDSMP was developed to expand access to chronic disease self-management support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the Internet-based CDSMP.
  • To compare the Internet-based CDSMP with both usual care and the small-group CDSMP.

Main Methods:

  • 958 patients with chronic diseases (heart, lung, type 2 diabetes) were randomized.
  • Intervention group received Internet-based CDSMP; control group received usual care.
  • Health status, behaviors, utilization, and self-efficacy were measured at 1 year.

Main Results:

  • The Internet-based CDSMP group showed significant health status improvements compared to usual care.
  • Outcomes for the Internet-based CDSMP were comparable to the small-group CDSMP.
  • Improved self-efficacy at 6 months correlated with better 1-year health outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The Internet-based CDSMP is effective for improving health status in patients with chronic diseases.
  • This digital program offers a successful alternative to traditional small-group interventions.
  • Self-efficacy plays a key role in the long-term success of chronic disease self-management.
