Abstract

Background/Purpose: Self-management is a key component of effective chronic illness care and improved patient outcomes. To date, however, research focusing on self-management among HNC survivors has been lacking. The present study addresses this knowledge gap by investigating the role of specific self-management behaviours in predicting HRQL in HNC survivors who had completed primary treatment. Methods: Participants (N =177) were HNC survivors aged 18yrs+ at diagnosis and were 1-5yrs post-primary treatment. Hierarchical regression analysis explored the unique role of self-management behaviour using the Health Education Impact Questionnaire (heiQ), controlling for lifestyle (Block 1: marital status, household income and smoking status) and psychosocial variables (Block 2: body image concern, fear of recurrence and cognitive functioning), in predicting HRQL. Results: The model as a whole explained 62% of the variance in HRQL. Self-management behaviours accounted for 8% of the variance, once lifestyle variables (R2= .219) and psychosocial variables (R2Change=.325) had been controlled for. Critically, in terms of self-management behaviour strategies, social integration and support (SIS; B= -.283, p
