The goal of this article is to deeply analyze the application and value of CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy) in the self-management of chronic diseases of the elderly. This article combs the development track, basic principle and application scope of CBT, summarizes the research status of self-management of elderly patients with chronic diseases, and discusses the relationship between CBT and self-management of elderly patients with chronic diseases. On this basis, this article puts forward the implementation strategy of CBT in the self-management of elderly patients with chronic diseases, and discusses the possible problems and countermeasures in the application process. It is found that CBT can help elderly patients with chronic diseases to change their views on diseases, enhance their enthusiasm and ability of self-management, and then significantly improve their healthy behavior and quality of life by means of key means such as cognitive reconstruction, behavior activation and problem-solving skills. The great potential and development prospect of CBT in self-management of elderly patients with chronic diseases are emphasized, and suggestions for future research are put forward, including conducting large-scale clinical trials, exploring the combination of CBT with other intervention methods, and paying attention to the effect of long-term intervention.
