Self Management Support
Self management support is the assistance that caregivers give to people with long term conditions in order to encourage daily decisions that improve health related behaviours and clinical outcomes. It can be viewed in two ways:
• A portfolio of tools and techniques that help patients choose healthy behaviours
• A fundamental transformation of the patient caregiver relationship into a collaborative partnership”
Bodenheimer T, McGregor K and Sharifi C (2005) Helping patients manage their chronic conditions California Healthcare Foundation, Oakland, USA

‘a person-centred approach in which the individual is empowered and has ownership over the management of their life and conditions. The role of the health and social care professionals, services and treatment is to support the person’s journey towards living well in the presence or absence of symptoms’
Gaun Yersel! The Self Management Strategy for Long Term Conditions in Scotland 2008

The Self Management Journey
Most people do not become confident self-managers overnight. They embark on a journey where self management may not be seen as important and confidence levels vary.
4 Stages:• Beginning the journey• Finding a way• Travelling• Staying on track
Beginning the Journey
Does not see self management as an important part of living with a long term condition
Finding a Way
Recognises their role in managing health and well-being but has low confidence in their ability
Travelling
Recognises their role in managing health and well-being but has low confidence in their ability.....trying some skills, looking for ideas
Staying on Track
High confidence for many skills and can problem solve new challenges
Self Management Support
Patients cannot do it alone. They need support, information and skills to develop their self management capabilities
Agenda Setting
http://personcentredcare.health.org.uk
Agenda Setting
It is important that:
• the patient and clinician jointly agree the agenda otherwise the clinician might not know what changes the person is willing to make
• patients who succeed in making one health behaviour change will apply that learning to other areas

Setting & Negotiating the Agenda
Role Play:
Sam is a person living with a long term condition and is visiting his / her GP.

Goal Setting
http://personcentredcare.health.org.uk
Goal Setting• Though goal setting is a collaborative
process between the individual and clinician, behavioural change and better health care outcomes are more likely if the patient sets the goals.
• This is because the goal(s) will be relevant and important to them, at the time and take account of their situation.
• Follow up of goals

Goal Setting: Importance & Confidence
Exploring importance and confidence can help clarify significance of change to the patient and increase importance and confidence levels. For example..

Goal Setting - SMART
Goals should be SMART
• Specific - What are you going to do?• Measurable - How much and how often will you
do it?• Appropriate - How important is this to you? (0-
10 scale)• Realistic - How confident are you? (0-10 scale)• Time Based - When will you do it?
