Self-management support interventions for persons with chronic disease: an evidence-based analysis
Ontario Health Technology Assessment Series
|November 7, 2013
Summary
The Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) showed modest short-term improvements in health status and behaviors for chronic disease patients. However, it did not impact healthcare utilization, and more research is needed for long-term effects.
Area of Science:
- Chronic disease management
- Health behavior interventions
- Clinical effectiveness research
Background:
- Self-management support interventions are increasingly utilized to aid individuals in managing chronic diseases.
- The Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) is a prominent example of such interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically evaluate the clinical effectiveness of self-management support interventions for individuals with chronic diseases.
- To assess the impact of these interventions on health status, behaviors, self-efficacy, and healthcare utilization.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2000 and 2012.
- Ten RCTs, including nine evaluating the CDSMP, were included, comparing interventions against usual care.
- A random-effects model was used to pool results, focusing on short-term outcomes (median 6 months).
Main Results:
- The CDSMP demonstrated statistically significant, though clinically minimal, short-term improvements in health status measures (pain, disability, fatigue, depression, self-rated health) and health-related quality of life.
- Significant improvements were observed in healthy behaviors, including exercise, symptom management, and communication with healthcare professionals.
- No significant differences were found in healthcare utilization, such as GP visits, emergency department visits, or hospitalizations.
Conclusions:
- The CDSMP offers modest short-term benefits for chronic disease self-management, particularly in health status and behaviors.
- Evidence regarding healthcare utilization and long-term outcomes remains inconclusive, with high uncertainty due to data reporting limitations.
- Further research is recommended to explore sustained effects, clinical impact, and patient subgroup responses to self-management interventions.
