We undertook a systematic review and thematic synthesis of the qualitative literature. We searched six databases (2004¨C2015) for published studies on the provision of self-management support in one-to-one, face-to-face, patient¨Cprovider interactions for obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with 14 articles meeting inclusion criteria. Themes identified from studies were (1) dominance of a traditional model of care, encompassing the provision of generic information, exclusion of the psychosocial and temporal nature of interactions and (2) a context of individual responsibility and accountability, encompassing self-management as patients¡¯ responsibility and adherence, accountability and the attribution of blame. Interactions were constrained by consultation times, patient self-blame and guilt, desire for autonomy and beliefs about what constitutes ¡®effective¡¯ self-management. Encounters were oriented towards a traditional model of care delivery and this limited opportunity for collaboration. These findings suggest that healthcare professionals remain in a position of authority, limiting opportunities for control to be shared with patients and shared understandings of social context to be developed %K Patient¨Cprovider interactions %K self-management support %K chronic conditions %K type 2 diabetes mellitus %K chronic obstructive pulmonary disease %K obesity %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1742395317710082
