Abstract
This minireview provides an in-depth analysis of the application of self-efficacy system interventions (SESIs) in the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD), encompassing foundational theories, clinical practices, technological advancements, future prospects, and contentious issues. The discussion includes the application of self-efficacy theory in CVD management as well as patients’ psychological and behavioral characteristics and principles of intervention design. Furthermore, this minireview explores the impact of SESIs on patients’ quality of life, implementation strategies, and rehabilitation outcomes. The introduction of digital tools, personalized intervention designs, and remote monitoring technologies are also addressed. Future prospects are examined in terms of developmental directions, potential challenges, and innovative applications, while controversial issues are considered in relation to intervention effectiveness, ethical concerns, and cost-benefit analyses. This minireview aims to provide a comprehensive theoretical and practical reference for SESIs in CVD management and to promote further advancements in this field.
Core Tip: Self-efficacy system interventions (SESIs) integrate digital tools and personalized strategies to enhance self-management and outcomes in cardiovascular disease. This minireview synthesizes evidence on SESI’s theoretical foundations, clinical effectiveness, technological advancements, and implementation challenges. It highlights innovative approaches, such as teach-back methods, mobile health applications, and remote monitoring, while addressing controversies regarding efficacy variability, ethical considerations, and cost-effectiveness. By bridging theory, practice, and emerging technologies, SESI offers a scalable framework for optimizing patient-centered care and guiding future research in chronic disease management.
