Nigerian Health Care Providers and Diabetes Self-Management Support: Their Perspectives and Practices

Aim(s)To explore the meaning of healthcare self‐management support for post‐discharged stroke patients.MethodRodgers' evolutionary approach was used to identify antecedents, attributes, related terms, surrogate terms and consequences.Data SourceLiterature from 2012 to 2022 was searched from MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Google Scholar.ResultsThree antecedents preceded healthcare self‐management support for post‐discharged stroke patients: loss of inpatient support, preparedness for self‐management and presence of self‐management support. Healthcare self‐management support for post‐discharged stroke patients was defined by eight attributes: pre‐discharge assessment and planning; provision of continuous education and training; collaborative goal‐setting; reinforcement and documentation of vital information; coordination of post‐discharge care; provision of rehabilitation support and promoting community reintegration; provision of counselling support; and using clear communication, patient empowerment and promoting self‐efficacy. The identified consequences of the concept were as follows: improved patient outcomes; improved life quality; decreased healthcare cost; decreased re‐admission rate and inpatient care burden; and decreased complication rate.ConclusionHealthcare self‐management support for post‐discharged stroke patients is an emerging concept that can help to significantly improve stroke patients' health outcomes and life quality. However, its applicability is uncertain considering the workload, time and resources available to healthcare professionals. There is a need for future studies to focus on the feasibility and applicability of this concept in clinical practice and to identify any challenges healthcare providers may have in supporting stroke patients after discharge.ImpactThis concept analysis brings clarity to the concept of healthcare self‐management support of post‐discharged stroke patients and distinguishes it from other self‐management supports. It provides an opportunity for further studies and a pathway for generalized healthcare self‐management support for stroke patients after discharge to improve health outcomes and quality of life.No Patient or Public ContributionNo patients, service users, caregivers or members of the public were involved in conducting this concept analysis.
