Abstract:
Objective:To analyze and clarify the meaning of the concept of self-advocacy among patients with chronic diseases using the Rodgers evolutionary concept analysis method.Methods:A systematic search was conducted in databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Embase, Medline, VIP, Wanfang, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database for studies related to self-advocacy in chronic disease patients from February 1, 1992, to June 30, 2024. The Rodgers evolutionary concept analysis method was applied to analyze the selected literature.Results:A total of 72 articles were included in this study. The concept attributes of self-advocacy in chronic disease patients were identified as cognitive awareness, self-action, and resource integration. The antecedents involved included personal characteristics, skill learning, and available support. The outcomes covered improved symptom management, adherence to treatment plans, enhanced nursing and quality of life, and reduced demand for healthcare. The measurement tools used were the Patient Self-Advocacy Scale, Self-Advocacy Scale, Elderly Safety Advocacy Empowerment Scale, and Female Cancer Patient Self-Advocacy Scale.Conclusions:The conceptual attributes of self-advocacy in chronic disease patients were clarified through the Rodgers evolutionary concept analysis method. Future research can combine quantitative and qualitative studies to further explore the significance of self-advocacy in patients with chronic diseases.
