Introduction Promoting older adults to self-manage their chronic conditions is a major focus of the Macao government and healthcare professionals since more than 80% of older adults have suffered chronic conditions. Objectives This study evaluated the effect of the Chronic Disease Self-management Program (CDSMP) on self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, health status, and healthcare services utilization among Macao older adults with chronic disease over six months, and assessed whether the intervention effect persisted for one year. Methods A longitudinal and quasi-experimental design was used in this study. A total number of 158 older adults with at least one chronic disease were recruited from three Macao community centers. Participants in the study group engaged in a six-session CDSMP in the community centers and participants in the control group received usual care. The Chronic Disease Self-management Questionnaire was used to assess the outcome measures for baseline, six-month and one-year assessment. Results The age of subjects ranged from 60 to 88, 64.6% had three or more chronic diseases. The results showed that the subjects in the study group had significant improvement in self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, and some health-related indicators at the point of six months, and these improvements were still observable at the point of one year when comparing to the control group. The results also showed that the study group had a decrease in healthcare services utilization, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion This study confirmed that the community-dwelling older adults in Macao can acquire positive outcomes in self-management and health-related indicators from the CDSMP. Hence, it is worth promoting this program as a health promotion activity in community.

Professional Intervention

Chronic pain is often resistant to traditional medical management and other types of professional intervention. As such, several investigators have conducted studies of pain self-management programs. These self-management programs, however, were often led by therapists and shared much in common with traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT); the efficacy of which, despite some inconsistencies, is largely supported in the literature. Although, like CBT, many therapist led programs involve a component of self-management in the form of “homework assignments,” it is important to evaluate the effectiveness of pain self-management, which is not therapist led. Within the context of controlled investigation, we evaluated a pain self-management program that involved use of a comprehensive self-help pain management book for older adults. Contrary to expectation, we did not identify any differences in the outcomes observed in the self-help patient group as compared to the control group (i.e., participants who did not receive the pain management book until after the study was completed) despite a great deal of satisfaction with the manualized program that was expressed by the participants. The implications of these findings are discussed.

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate participant engagement and effects of an Internet-based, self-directed program for depressive symptoms piloted among adults with a chronic disease. Eligible participants ( N = 47) were randomly assigned to either the “Think Clearly About Depression” online depression self-management program or the control group. The Patient Health Questionnaire–8 and Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scales were administered at baseline and at Weeks 4 and 8 after initiating the intervention. Number Needed to Treat analysis indicated that one in every three treatment group participants found clinically significant reductions in depressive symptoms by Week 8. Paired-sample t tests showed that depressive symptoms and self-efficacy in management of depressive symptoms improved over time for those in the treatment group and not for those in the control group. Participants’ engagement and satisfaction with the online program were favorable.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a group-based self-management program for people with chronic fatigue syndrome. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Setting: Four mid-sized towns in southern Norway and two suburbs of Oslo. Subjects: A total of 137 adults with chronic fatigue syndrome. Intervention: A self-management program including eight biweekly meetings of 2.5 hours duration. The control group received usual care. Main measures: Primary outcome measure: Medical Outcomes Study-Short Form-36 physical functioning subscale. Secondary outcome measures: Fatigue severity scale, self-efficacy scale, physical and mental component summary of the Short Form-36, and the illness cognition questionnaire (acceptance subscale). Assessments were performed at baseline, and at six-month and one-year follow-ups. Results: At the six-month follow-up, a significant difference between the two groups was found concerning fatigue severity ( p = 0.039) in favor of the control group, and concerning self-efficacy in favor of the intervention group ( p = 0.039). These significant differences were not sustained at the one-year follow-up. No significant differences were found between the groups concerning physical functioning, acceptance, and health status at any of the measure points. The drop-out rate was 13.9% and the median number of sessions attended was seven (out of eight). Conclusions: The evaluated self-management program did not have any sustained effect, as compared with receiving usual care.

Osteoarthritis, as a common type of degenerative joint disease, puts older adults at high risk. It could impact the wellbeing of older adults, including physical, psychological, social, and economic factors. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of group support enhancing a self-management program on lifestyle modification behaviors among Indonesian older adults with knee osteoarthritis. Seventy-nine participants who met the inclusion criteria were recruited and assigned into the experimental group and the control group. Lifestyle modification behavior was measured during the first week, and after 6 weeks, of the program by using a Lifestyle Modification Behaviors Questionnaire (LMBQ). The internal consistency reliability coefficient of the LMBQ was 0.84. An independent t-test was conducted to examine the between group effect of the program. There was a statistically significant difference in lifestyle modification behaviors between the experimental group and the control group after receiving the program (t = 18.19, p = < 0.05). The group support enhancing self-management program effectively improved lifestyle modification behaviors among Indonesian older adults with knee osteoarthritis.
