What are the components of effective chronic condition self-management education interventions for children with asthma, cystic fibrosis, and diabetes? A systematic review

Chronic conditions of childhood are common [1]. In Australia, asthma affects one in every 10 children, type one diabetes mellitus (T1DM) affects one in every 100 children, and cystic fibrosis (CF) affects 1 in every 2500 children [1,2]. Together, these three conditions impact the Australian population more than any other childhood chronic conditions (i.e., high social, health service resource and financial costs) [1,3]. With such high prevalence rates, it is almost inevitable that, over the course of a clinician ’s career, they will need to provide chronic condition self-management (CCSM) support to children.
