National study of chronic disease self‐management: 6‐month and 12‐month findings among cancer survivors and non‐cancer survivors

ConclusionsFindings suggest that participation in CDSMP, an evidence‐based chronic disease self‐management intervention not specifically tailored for cancer survivorship, may significantly improve physical and psychosocial health status and key health and healthcare behaviors among cancer survivors. Additional research is needed to elucidate cancer survivors' unique needs and examine the benefits of tailored versions of CDSMP. Nevertheless, CDSMP, available at scale nationally and internationally, is a promising intervention for cancer survivors and should be considered a valuable component of survivorship care.
