ObjectivesThe Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) is a standardized self-management intervention for patients with various chronic diseases. CDSMP provides self-management skills to enhance patient health, well-being, and coping skills. The present study evaluates the effectiveness of CDSMP delivered in routine clinical services on health, health behaviors and healthcare utilization in patients with various chronic illnesses.MethodsA pragmatic single group pre-post design evaluated the effectiveness of the CDSMP in an Irish cohort using self-report data collected by service providers in hospital, community health and patient organizations. Data on health, health behavior and healthcare utilization were collected at baseline ( n = 263), immediately post-program ( n = 102), and six months ( n = 81) after enrollment.ResultsCDSMP participants reported statistically significant increases in activity levels, self-efficacy, energy and quality of life, and a significant decrease in depression scores at six months follow-up. There was a significant decrease in self-reported visits to the GP and in total nights spent in hospital.DiscussionThis national pre–post study provides preliminary evidence for the potential effectiveness of CDSMP delivered during routine care in improving important health outcomes and reducing health care utilization among a heterogeneous sample of chronic disease patients.

Purpose: To evaluate whether implementation factors or fidelity moderate chronic disease self-management education program outcomes. Design: Meta-analysis of 34 Arthritis Self-Management Program and Chronic Disease Self-Management Program studies. Setting: Community. Participants: N = 10 792. Measures: Twelve implementation factors: program delivery fidelity and setting and leader and participant characteristics. Eighteen program outcomes: self-reported health behaviors, physical health status, psychological health status, and health-care utilization. Analysis: Meta-analysis using pooled effect sizes. Results: Modest to moderate statistically significant differences for 4 of 6 implementation factors; these findings were counterintuitive with better outcomes when leaders and participants were unpaid, leaders had less than minimum training, and implementation did not meet fidelity requirements. Conclusion: Exploratory study findings suggest that these interventions tolerate some variability in implementation factors. Further work is needed to identify key elements where fidelity is essential for intervention effectiveness.

Purpose Hearing loss self-management refers to the knowledge and skills people use to manage the effects of hearing loss on all aspects of their daily lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-reported hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Method Thirty-seven adults with hearing loss, all of whom were current users of bilateral hearing aids, participated in this observational study. The participants completed self-report inventories probing their hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between individual domains of hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Results Participants who reported better self-management of the effects of their hearing loss on their emotional well-being and social participation were more likely to report less aided listening difficulty in noisy and reverberant environments and greater satisfaction with the effect of their hearing aids on their self-image. Participants who reported better self-management in the areas of adhering to treatment, participating in shared decision making, accessing services and resources, attending appointments, and monitoring for changes in their hearing and functional status were more likely to report greater satisfaction with the sound quality and performance of their hearing aids. Conclusion Study findings highlight the potential for using information about a patient's hearing loss self-management in different domains as part of clinical decision making and management planning.

The health political discourse on self-care is dominated by the view that the selfmanaging patient represents a more democratic and patient-centric perspective, as he or she is believed to renegotiate the terms on which patient participation in health care has hitherto taken place. The self-managing patient is intended as a challenge to traditional medical authority by introducing lay methods of knowing disease. Rather than a meeting between authoritative professionals and vulnerable patients, the self-managing patient seeks to open up new spaces for a meeting between experts. The present paper questions these assumptions through an ethnographic exploration of a patient-led self-management program called the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program. The program is concerned with what its developers call the social and mental aspects of living with a chronic disease and uses trained patients as role models and program leaders. Drawing inspiration from Annemarie Mol’s term ’logic’, we explore the rationale of ’situations of selfmanagement’ and identify what we call a ’logic of change’, which involves very specific ideas on how life with a chronic condition should be dealt with and directs attention towards particular manageable aspects of life with a chronic condition. This logic of change entails, we argue, a clash not between ’medical’ and ’lay’ forms of knowledge but between different logics or perceptions of how transformation can be achieved: through open-ended and ongoing reflection and experimentation in social settings or through standardised trajectories of change. Returning to the literature on lay forms of knowledge and illness perspectives, we question whether programs such as the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program – despite its apparent patient-centric perspective – reproduces classical hierarchical relations between lay and expert knowledge, albeit in new forms.
