Abstract

This review aimed to clarify the concept of self-management in the context of physical frailty and to provide insights that support the development of interventions to prevent physical frailty. A concept analysis using thirty-three studies was performed, six attributes of the concept "self-management of physical frailty" were identified: {Cooperating with healthcare professionals or familiar persons}, {Investing and managing in resources}, {Acquisition and maintenance of individualized self-management strategies}, {Self-directed process}, {Goal setting and personalized action planning} and {Living with one's own health condition with a positive attitude}. Self-management of physical frailty can be defined as a process in which an individual independently sets goals and action plans, engages in strategies such as exercise and nutritional management, and lives with one's own health condition with a positive attitude by collaborating with healthcare professionals and others, in addition to utilizing resources. To support the process in which an individual independently sets goals and action plans, engages in strategies, self-management support based on learning theories that lead to cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes is necessary.
