To understand the complexities of managing long‐term conditions and develop appropriate responses, micro‐, meso‐ and macrolevels must be considered. However, these levels have not been combined in a single analytical framework of long‐term condition management (LTCM). This article aims to describe a framework of LTCM practice and research that combines societal levels and key agents. The actor‐level framework, based on the works of Abram De Swaan and Randall Collins, provides a broader understanding of LTCM as an interdisciplinary research field compared to previous contributions. The framework has three main advantages. First, it encourages knowledge production across levels and actors that address the complexity of long‐term illness management. Second, it broadens the scope of LTCM as an interdisciplinary research field and practice field. Finally, it facilitates the integration of knowledge production from different disciplines and research traditions. The framework could stimulate interdisciplinary research collaboration to enhance knowledge of processes and interactions influencing the lives of individuals with long‐term conditions.

重新思考长期状况管理：参与者级别的框架

要了解管理长期条件的复杂性并制定适当的应对措施，必须考虑微观、中观和宏观层面。然而，这些水平并没有结合在一个单一的长期状况管理 (LTCM) 分析框架中。本文旨在描述一个结合社会层面和关键代理人的 LTCM 实践和研究框架。与之前的贡献相比，基于 Abram De Swaan 和 Randall Collins 作品的演员级框架提供了对 LTCM 作为跨学科研究领域的更广泛理解。该框架具有三个主要优点。首先，它鼓励跨级别和跨参与者的知识生产，以解决长期疾病管理的复杂性。其次，它拓宽了 LTCM 作为跨学科研究领域和实践领域的范围。最后，它促进了来自不同学科和研究传统的知识生产的整合。该框架可以激发跨学科研究合作，以增强对影响长期疾病患者生活的过程和相互作用的了解。
