Although with only limited conceptual work. Despite the pervasiveness of pain in adults, there has been a lack of conceptual work to elucidate meaning of adult's self-management of chronic pain.DesignConcept Analysis.MethodRodgers (2000) evolutionary approach of concept analysis was used to systematically analyze 44 articles from different databases. Only 12 articles used the concept of chronic pain self-management. Data were extracted using standardized forms and analyzed using thematic analysis.ResultsThis concept analysis identified six attributes of adult self-management of chronic pain: (1) multimodal interventions; (2) patient-provider relationship; (3) goal setting; (4) decision making; (5) resource utilization; and (6) chronic pain problem solving.Copyright © 2021 American Society for Pain Management Nursing.
