| description | Aim To delineate and clarify the meaning of the concept of self-care monitoring from a patient perspective. Methods A systematic search was performed in the databases ASSIA, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and PubMed (January 2016–September 2021). A selection of 46 peer-reviewed articles was included in the study and analysed using Rodgers’ Evolutionary Method for Concept Analysis. Results The following four attributes were identified: Tracking symptoms, signs, and actions, Paying attention, Being confident, and Needing routines, creating a descriptive definition: “Self-care monitoring is an activity that means a person has to pay attention and be confident and needs routines for tracking symptoms, signs, and action.” The antecedents of the concept were shown to be Increased knowledge, Wish for independence, and Commitment. The concepts’ consequences were identified as Increased interaction, Perceived burden, and Enhanced well-being. Conclusions This concept analysis provides extensive understanding of self-care monitoring from a patient perspective. It was shown that the concept occurs when a person practices self-care monitoring at home either with or without devices. A descriptive definition was constructed and presented with exemplars to encourage practice of the concept in various healthcare settings and could be of relevance to people with chronic illnesses or other long-term conditions. |
