Community Support, Self-Management Behavior, and The Effectiveness of Chronic Disease Management: Evidence from China

Abstract Community support plays a crucial role in community chronic disease management, but there is still a lack of analysis of the role testing mechanism based on the Chinese context. Based on CHARLS (2018), explore the impact of community support on the effectiveness of patient chronic disease management. The results showed that community support significantly promoted the control effect of chronic disease patients, and self-management behavior played a part of the mesomeric effect. Through multidimensional analysis, the mediating role of daily life management is minimal, while professional guidance has the greatest mediating effect. A community chronic disease support system centered on patient self-management should be established, and efforts should be made to improve the health promotion strategies for community chronic disease management.
