Self-management concept is underpinned from the psychological and behavioural science literature based on notion of an individual’s ability to control and manage health effectively. There are numerous variation of the strategy and duration used in the programs. Mostly, the outcome of the study that focused on the behavioural measured the changes of physical activities, diet, and smoking. To assess those behavioural changes, various measurement were used. In conclusion, self-management concept, components, outcomes, and measurement may have been different between one study to another.
