<title>Methods</title>
<p>This study collected data from 148 cancer patients who had visited D hospitals in B city, Korea. A structured questionnaire was distributed to determine patient characteristics, healthcare provider autonomy support, basic psychological needs, and self-management. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and regression analysis that implemented Baron and Kenny’s method for mediation were used for analyses.</p></sec>

<title>Results</title>
<p>Self-management was significantly correlated with the level of healthcare provider autonomy support (r = 0.38, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001), autonomy (r = 0.40, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001), competence (r = 0.25, <italic>p</italic> = 0.002), and relatedness (r = 0.32, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001). Furthermore, autonomy (β = 0.30, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001) and relatedness (β = 0.22, <italic>p</italic> = 0.008) had partial mediating effects on the relationship between healthcare provider autonomy support and self-management (Z = 3.13, <italic>p</italic> = 0.002 and Z = 2.29, <italic>p</italic> = 0.022, respectively).</p></sec>
<sec>
<title>Conclusion</title>
<p>Autonomy and relatedness mediated the impact of healthcare provider autonomy support for self-management among cancer survivors. This suggests that strategies for enhancing autonomy and relatedness should be considered when developing self-management interventions for cancer survivor patients.</p></sec>
