Implementation of self-management support in cancer care and normalization into routine practice: a systematic scoping literature review protocol.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Cancer survivors face a myriad of biopsychosocial consequences due to cancer and treatment that may be potentially mitigated through enabling their self-management skills and behaviors for managing illness. Unfortunately, the cancer system lags in its systematic provision of self-management support (SMS) in routine care, and it is unclear what implementation approaches or strategies work to embed SMS in the cancer context to inform health policy and administrator decision-making. METHODS/DESIGN:A comprehensive scoping review study of the literature will be conducted based on methods and steps identified by Arksey and O'Malley and experts in the field. Electronic searches will be conducted in multiple databases including CINAHL, CENTRAL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, AMED, Cochrane
