Enhancing Clinical Practice with Community-Based Self-Management Support Programs

  • Chapter

  • 1316 Accesses

Abstract

Beyond treatment of the presenting clinical issues, an essential challenge of working with people with arthritis in clinical practice is helping the individual develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage their disease on a day-to-day basis. Clinicians can play a key role in helping their patients become effective self-managers through the self-management support they provide within the clinical encounter and through referral to evidence-based self-management support programs (specifically physical activity, self-management education, and weight control programs) in the community. The purposes of this chapter are to describe why evidence-based community programs are an important adjunct to clinical care in arthritis, discuss specific types of community programs useful for people with arthritis, and identify strategies to help people with arthritis commit to participating in these valuable community resources.
