Thirty-one articles were identified, published between2004 and 2023.Reporting Method: Followed the Enhancing the Quality and Transparency of Health Research guidelines—PreferredReporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020.Results: Self-management in children and adolescents with chronic illness, in school age, in a community context, consists ofa process of acquiring knowledge and beliefs that promote the self- efficacy of this population in developing skills to face needsinherent to the health condition.Conclusion: Promoting self-management goes beyond simply educating for skill acquisition. Participants with stronger beliefsin their ability to control their behaviours are more successful in self-management. The activation of resources that position thechild as an agent of change is recommended.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient Care: It contributes to the development of strategies that promote self-management across different healthcare disciplines, focusing on education and change, but also on psychological encouragementto foster confidence in change.Impact: Competent self-management during childhood promotes autonomy, empowerment, and control of the condition, withconsequent physical and emotional well-being, quality of life, family stability, and social development.No Patient or Public Contribution: There was no direct contribution from patients or the public in this work (literaturereview). |
