Abstract:
What is already known about this topic? Self‐management plays an important role in cervical cancer survivors' well‐being. Little study has investigated whether illness perception is associated with self‐management in patients with cervical cancer. What this paper adds? Self‐management scores among patients with cervical cancer were unsatisfactory. Personal control was a significant predictor of cervical cancer patients' total self‐management. Family monthly income per person and types of surgery were also predictive of cervical cancer patients' total self‐management. The implications of this paper: Nurses and other clinical practitioners should consider the perceptions that cervical cancer patients have about their illnesses to help them maintain positive health behaviours and manage their illnesses.
