Purpose: This systematic review identified, synthesized, and integrated conceptanalyses on self-care and related concepts.Design: The guidelines for systematic literature reviews of the Joanna BriggsInstitute were followed.Methods: The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature(CINAHL), PubMed, PsycINFO, and EMBASE databases were searched for conceptanalyses published in the past 20 years.Findings: A total of 26 concept analyses were identified that had been publishedon self-care, self-care agency, self-monitoring, self-management, selfmanagementsupport, symptom management, and self-efficacy. Differencesand commonalities in the examined literature were identified, and a modelwas delineated, explaining the relations among the various concepts from thenursing perspective.Conclusions: The healthcare literature has broadly described self-care andrelated concepts; however, consensus on the definitions remains beyond ourreach and should not be expected, due to the different perspectives andparadigms from which the concepts are interpreted. From a nursing perspective,self-care can be considered a broad concept encompassing the other concepts,which describe more specific individual levels of activities and processes.Clinical Relevance: Nurses are actively involved in disease management andself-management support as well as in promoting self-care in healthy and sickpeople. Referring to a model on self-care and related concepts could avoidmisinterpretations in nursing practice, research, and policy.
