chronic disease self-management education (CDSME)

Chronic Disease Self-Management Education (CDSME) is a program designed to help individuals with long-term health conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease, learn how to manage their illnesses effectively. It provides essential skills and knowledge through workshops or classes, focusing on topics like nutrition, exercise, medication management, and stress reduction. Participants engage in discussions and activities that empower them to make informed decisions about their health, set personal goals, and improve their overall quality of life. Ultimately, CDSMSE aims to enhance self-efficacy, allowing individuals to take control of their health and well-being.
