Dear Reza ,
not necessarily , the concept of self-management is more closely related to self regulation, autonomy and self leadership and it is not required of you to search for it when you target self- efficacy .
my papers on self efficacy could provide you with reflections and findings
good luck with your study

Thank you Dr. Tae-Yeol Kim for the differentiation along with examples.
Thanks Dr. Rahimi. For sure, I'll read those papers.
Dear Reza,
Self-efficacy theory has been used to promote self-management in patients with various chronic diseases, such as diabetes and osteoarthritis. It has been shown that strategies to improve self-efficacy are effective in improving health behaviours (e.g. exercise practice), physical and psychological health status and health care utilization. Please refer to my publications shown below.
