Group discussion
•What previous experience do you have of
introducing/using self management with patients?
•What health conditions would self management
be important for?
•What does self management involve for the
patient?
•What does it require from the health
professional?
What is self-management?
Life with a long term condition: the person’s perspective
Interactions with the service: planned or unplanned
Problem solving: Time
limited consultation/s
providing motivational
support
Care planning: A system of regular scheduled
appointments, providing proactive structured
support
Care pathways: providing
specific interventions
NB : People may also be accessing a wide variety of other support e.g. from within their communities
Taken from the Health Foundation, Inspiring Improvement: Improving Outcomes by Helping People Take Control.
Wagner’s chronic care model
Wagner E H Chronic Disease Management : What will it take to improve care for Chronic
Illness?: Effective Clinical Practice 1998 1:2-4
Self-management: The Evidence
“is likely to work best when implemented as part of wider
initiatives to improve care through educating
practitioners, applying best evidence, and using
technology, decision aids and community partnerships
effectively.” (The Health Foundation, 2011)
Self-management
 All patients with chronic illness make decisions and engage
in behaviours that affect their health
 People are experts in their experience of their own condition
 Health outcomes depend to a significant degree on the day
to day decision and activities that people with chronic
conditions make and undertake to manage their condition
Self-management: Why is it
important?
 80% to 90% of all care for people with LTC is undertaken by
patients themselves and their families.
 Patients with chronic pain often find medicine and surgery does
little to help their condition
Biopsychosocial Model
 Social, cultural, personal dimensions interact
with pain mechanisms
 Understanding that each individual experiences
pain differently
Self-management: Why is it
important in chronic pain?
 Reported benefits of self management include:
 Fewer pain flare-ups
 Increased sense of control
 Less stress and improved mood
 Improved relationships
 Return to previously enjoyed activities
Self-management in Chronic Pain
Can include:
- Information on their condition
- Introducing self-management
- Psycho-education on stress and pain management
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance &
Commitment Therapy
- Exercise and Relaxation
- Preparation for Flare-ups – Have a plan!
- Creating communication with the client to get an
understanding of their pain management expectations and
barriers.

levels
Introducing Pacing and Activity
Management
• Recognising the over-activity rest cycle
• Awareness of habits – “I’ve just always done it that
•
•
•
•
way”
Tendency to push to complete perhaps because finds
it unsatisfactory to not finish
Encouragement to listen to signs of needing to stop
“Could you do the same again tomorrow?” –
promoting consistency and sustainability
Is it worth it? Values driven activity
5 Pacing Principles
 Finding your baselines – what time can I spend on an
activity before any increase in pain.
 Planning – plan activities through out the day and
including relaxation and rest breaks.
 Prioritising – what has to be done vs. what can wait
 Involving others – delegate if able
 Incorporating gentle graded exercise
Over Activity Rest Cycle V Pacing

Brain thinks
“ Situation

Key messages on activity management
•
•
•
•
Everyone has choices about the activities they wish to pursue.
Pacing is a way to manage chronic pain on a daily basis and requires some
acceptance of their limitations.
Activities important to them can also be accommodated even if this leads
to flare-ups.
Its about managing activity in a way that works for the individual and
helps to maintain their quality of life.
Some specific strategies
Exercise
 Encourage regular gentle exercise (e.g. swimming, walking)
 Make it a part of everyday activities – reminding the need to
pace and plan all daily activities
 Many don’t think they can do it based on:
 Past experience
 Fears and beliefs
 Motivation
Education, benefits and de-conditioning

Sleep
 Vicious cycle
 Sleep hygiene
 Time to unwind
 Regular bedtime- 8 hours before your alarm will ring the next day
 Avoid stimulants
 Lights out as soon as you are in bed
 If you do not fall asleep within about ½ hour, get out of bed and relax
in another room until you feel tired again.
 Repeat this step as often as you need to.
Some specific strategies
Relaxation
 Pain is influenced by emotional and social factors e.g. stress.
 Relaxation exercises calm your mind, reduce stress hormones in your blood,
relax your muscles, and elevate your sense of well-being.
 Relaxation isn’t just watching TV…
 Diaphragmatic breathing
 Progressive muscular relaxation
 Guided imagery or visualisation
 Mindfulness

What are barriers
to Self
Management?
Group discussion (10 mins)
•What barriers have you encountered?
•What barriers might you expect to encounter?
Barriers to Self-management
Katy Gordon, Pain Concern
Barriers to self-management
• Hurt and harm beliefs
Ask:
– What do they think is happening inside their body?
– Why do they think they experience symptoms?
• Pain education - weaken the grip of pain with
knowledge and understanding to allow patient to
rationalise and reason their symptoms
• Gently challenge their beliefs e.g. Is that knee older
than the other? Does the spine not crumble on a good
day – would an XR/MRI look different on a bad day
than the day before?
Barriers to self-management
 Depression
 Persistent low mood and hopelessness
 Patient may not see the point in self-management
 Poor motivation and enjoyment
 Patient may be unable to motivate themselves to change
their behaviour and sustain any changes
 Disrupted self-care
 Affected concentration and memory
 Patient may be unable to take in and/or remember selfmanagement advice
Barriers to self management
 Unhelpful thinking styles
 Black & white thinking
 Catastrophising - Assumption that the worst is
happening and will continue to happen
 Rumination
 Education
 Challenge assumptions
 Graded exposure
 Groups
Barriers to self-management
 Locus of Control
 “the extent to which
individuals believe that they can
control events that affect them”
 Internal vs external
 An external locus of control would influence an
individual’s adoption of self-management
Barriers to self-management
 Fear avoidance
Ask:
 What do they think would happen if....? And what would that
mean?
 Observation- do they use their hands to lean on things?
 Pain education
 Graded exposure approach to exercise
 Groups
Barriers to Self Management
 Expectation of Roles
 Roles of the patient
 Role of the carer
 Role of the Health Professionals
 Role of Others
Barriers to self-management
 Resources vs demands
Self-efficacy and health behaviour
change
 Transtheoretical or
“Stages of Change” model
Increasing motivation and exploring
ambivalence
 Communication is key:
 Understand the patient by listening
1. ‘Why do you think you have chronic pain?’
2. ‘What does your pain mean to you from your point of
view?
3. ‘How has the pain impacted on your life from your
point of view?’
4. ‘What would be important things for you to work on?’
5. ‘What do you think would help?’
Increasing motivation and exploring
ambivalence
 Education
 Validation/understanding patient
 Evoking change talk (motivational interviewing)
 Encourage
 Small steps
Increasing motivation and exploring
ambivalence
 What would you like to see different about your current
situation?
 What makes you think you need to change?
 What will happen if you don’t change?
 How can I help you get past some of the difficulties you
are experiencing?
 If you were to decide to change, what would you have to
do to make this happen?
