Facilitating self-management support using the behaviour change wheel (BCW) to address healthcare professionals’ behaviour

Supporting self-management in healthcare practice is essential to improve chronic patients’ daily life experiences. Primary care professionals play an indispensable role in this. Nevertheless, supporting self-management in practice comes with many challenges. The aim of this study is to identify determinants of professionals’ supportive behaviour and develop an intervention that facilitates self-management support in primary care practice, using these determinants as building blocks.
