The Influence of Patient-Provider Communication on Self-Management Among Patients With Chronic Illness: A Systematic Mixed Studies Review.
Synthesis in Journal of advanced nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo explore the influence of patient-provider communication on patient self-management of chronic illness.
designSystematic Mixed Studies Review. DATA SOURCES: CINAHL, Google Scholar, EMBASE and PubMed were searched until March 2024.
methodsEmployed a result-based convergent design and the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool to evaluate studies. Narrative analysis, quantitative studies and thematic analysis for qualitative studies and overall results.
resultsThirteen articles published between 2003 and 2023 were included. Chronic illnesses studied: diabetes, heart failure, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. Data synthesis yielded the overarching theme: adaptive interpersonal communication. An approach that adapts communication content to each patient's unique needs, employs verbal and nonverbal communication, builds a connection and establishes patient rapport.
conclusionAvailable evidence suggests that patient-provider communication influences chronic illness self-management. A provider's ability to adjust and tailor their communication style is an important factor in helping patients to achieve optimal self-management. Future research should explore this phenomenon in other common chronic illnesses not included in this review. Additionally, research on the patient's role in this process could help improve patient-provider communication. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Findings from this review have significant implications for shared and participatory decision making, where patients and providers collaborate to develop plans of care for patients to achieve optimal self-management. Additionally, this review can contribute to the development of educational content and communication strategies for nurses and all healthcare professionals caring for patients with chronic illnesses. IMPACT: This is the first mixed studies systematic review to describe the influence patient-provider communication on patient self-management of chronic illness. These findings consolidate existing evidence, providing a pathway for practical application to clinical practice and the potential to significantly impact the delivery of patient-centred care and healthcare quality. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
