Definition of the concept is necessary for use in research and to guide the development of interventions to facilitate PSE for symptom management in patients with cancer. . This analysis will describe the concept of PSE for symptom management in patients with cancer. . A database search was performed for related publications from 2006-2016. Landmark publications published prior to 2006 that informed the concept analysis were included. . Greater PSE for symptom management predicts improved performance outcomes, including functional health status, cognitive function, and disease status.
