Abstract
Background: The scientific literature describes that self-management of chronic illness leads to improved health outcomes. Knowledge about interventions that promote self-management behaviors in children and teenagers has been poorly clarified. This study aims to map, in the scientific literature, the nature and extent of interventions that promote self-management of chronic disease, implemented and evaluated in contexts of health care provided to children and teenagers. Methods: The guidelines proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute were followed. The survey was conducted in June 2021, with access to international databases and gray literature, in Portuguese, English, French, and Spanish. Results: Interventions that promote self-management of children and teenagers can be developed through a local contact or through technological means of support for health care. The use of online supports, such as applications or communication platforms, should be parameterized with health professionals, according to the needs of users. Conclusions: The acquisition of self-management skills in pediatrics is a process supported by the family, health professionals and the community, in which the nurse, in partnership, can promote communication and health education through cognitive strategies, behavioral programs included in physical or online programs, adjusted to the patients’ needs.
Highlights
Since the beginning of the 20th century, scientific and technological innovations in neonatal and pediatric health care have led to evident changes in the epidemiology of health conditions at these stages of the life cycle
In the construction of the study, the following sub-questions emerged: (1) What are the uses of the concept of self-management of chronic illness in children and teenagers in the context of healthcare?
With regard to question 1 (What are the uses of the concept of self-management of chronic diseases in children and adolescents?), all studies addressed the paediatric population, they mostly used a broad concept of self-management, not exclusively applied to this population
Summary
Since the beginning of the 20th century, scientific and technological innovations in neonatal and pediatric health care have led to evident changes in the epidemiology of health conditions at these stages of the life cycle. - Prevent effects of incorrect therapeutic management, such as seizures - Avoiding readmissions to health services “Self-management is the interaction of health behaviors and processes related to the tasks throughout life in which people engage to take care of themselves and live well with a chronic condition.
