Guidance for developing supported self-management interventions for cancer survivors

The Outcome
A guidance document was produced and distributed to hospitals and cancer service providers outlining an evidence-based methodology for the development and implementation of supported self-management support. The guidance illuminated a process of: a needs assessment plan, determining intervention typology, selecting a theoretical framework, an intervention delivery strategy, selecting intervention techniques, activating an implementation plan, and ongoing evaluation. Key stakeholder outcomes to consider were also provided, including patient, clinician, commissioner, and policymaker outcomes.



Implementing self-management programmes for cancer survivors was proving successful, but it became clear that different institutions may need unique approaches to implementation. By devising a standardised protocol with elements of customisability, Nicola helped make the implementation of these programmes accessible to all.
