Self-management support (SMS) in primary care practice: a qualitative focus group study of care professionals' experiences

CONCLUSIONS: This focus group study highlights the importance of a collaborative, person-centred approach to SMS in the context of chronic diseases. Our findings point to the need for interventions that raise awareness and address barriers associated with SMS. Since generic SMS does not exist, the road to success is a growth process in which support must be adapted to the individual patient.PMID:38429637 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02317-4
