title: Self-management support for people with chronic kidney disease: Patient perspectives.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Self-management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is crucial for health outcomes and people need to be effectively supported by healthcare professionals (HCPs). Some programmes designed to improve self-management have been implemented, but people with the disease are rarely consulted regarding what they desire from these programmes.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To provide a synthesis of the literature on preferences for self-management support of people with CKD.
  
  
  METHODS
  An integrative review.
  
  
  METHODS
  Four databases (MedLine, CINAHL, PsycARTICLES and PsycINFO) were searched using relevant search terms.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The search strategy identified 1,913 records, of which 12 studies met inclusion criteria. Ten themes were identified as important areas to be addressed by self-management interventions. In addition, patient suggestions for implementation of such interventions are discussed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The principles of a person-centred approach ought to frame the support provided by HCPs when supporting those with CKD to better self-manage.
