A systematic review examining whether community-based self-management programs for older adults with chronic conditions actively engage participants and teach them patient-oriented self-management strategies
Abstract
Objective To identify whether community-based Self-Management Programs (SMPs) actively engaged, or taught, individuals patient-oriented strategies; and whether having these attributes led to significant differences in outcomes.Methods This systematic review included randomized controlled trials (RCTs)and cluster RCTs reporting on community-based SMPs with a group component for older adults with chronic conditions. The ways SMPS actively engaged participants and whether they taught patient-oriented strategies were analyzed. All study outcomes were reported.Results The 31 included studies demonstrated community-based SMP programs actively engaged participants and provided strategies to improve health behaviour or care of their condition. Few included strategies to help manage the impact of conditions on their everyday lives. Seventy-nine percent of studies reported significant differences; variations in sample sizes and outcomes made it difficult to conclude whether having these attributes led to significant differences.Conclusion SMPs are not supporting older adults to use strategies to address the impact of conditions on their everyday lives, addressing the needs of older adults with multiple conditions, nor assessing outcomes that align with the strategies taught.Practice implications Health-care providers delivering SMPs to older adults need to tailor programs to the needs of older adults and assess whether participants are using strategies being proposed.

Many in-person chronic disease management and self-management programs, particularly those for older adults, are condition specific and have structured content delivered in a 6- to 8-week period, usually consisting of weekly sessions.
“Many, particularly those for older adults, who are the most likely to have chronic conditions, are condition specific and have structured content that is delivered in a 6- to 8-week period, usually consisting of weekly sessions [11].”

Over 50% of programs had content aligned with the same 4 domains (disease control, healthy behaviors, internal, and process) of the TEDSS framework, findings that mimic those of others using the TEDSS framework.
“Over 50% of the programs (18/25, 72%; disease and control domain: 14/25, 56%; healthy behavior domain: 13/25, 52%; internal domain: 13/25, 52%) had content aligned with the same 4 domains (disease control, healthy behaviors, internal, and process) of the TEDSS framework, findings that mimic those of others using the TEDSS framework to analyze program content and program outcome measures [11,75].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
