Authors' recommendations:
Commissioners and providers should consider how they promote a culture of actively supporting self-management
• Successful self-management interventions are multicomponent and tailored to individuals' needs
• Key components of self-management support include education, action planning, and practical, psychological and social support
• Condition-specific self-management support reduces overall hospital use and improves quality of life in the short-term; effects on costs are mixed
• Work schedules, family commitments, lack of transportation, and the cost of medication and dietary changes are possible barriers to patients engaging with self-management
• Key considerations for implementation include strong clinical leadership, training and resources, and regular
evaluation
