Examples of the theoretical methods and practical applications incorporated into the intervention.

Change objectives	Determinants	Theoretical methods	Practical application and strategies
Recipient becomes aware of and acknowledges problems in various areas of life	Awareness (Precaution Adoption Process Model or Theory of Planned Behavior)	Awareness raising providing feedback using visualization	Recipients evaluate their life areas based on the Self-Management Web.
NPsa become aware of problems in recipients’ life on other than medical domains and the benefits of assessing psychosocial areas	Awareness (Precaution Adoption Process Model or Theory of Planned Behavior)	Awareness raising providing feedback using visualization	Self-Management Web: NPs help assess recipients’ life based on the Self-Management Web
Recipients belief in their capabilities to optimize self-management behavior	Self-efficacy (Social Cognitive Theory)	Mastery experiences; Attribution of failure and success	Recipients are asked to evaluate and appoint successes to stable, internal factors, and failure to external, unstable factors. When a recipient experiences success, an NP will emphasize the role of the recipient in the success.
NPs feel self-efficacious about carrying out intervention	Self-efficacy (Social Cognitive Theory)	Modeling	NPs receive training in which they practiced delivery using role-plays
Recipients implement new actions to reach goals and break through habits	Habits (Theory of Automatic Behavior)	Implementation intentions	Recipients need to specify if-then, when, where, how, what and where they are going to perform goal-related actions
