Title: Influencing factors of self-care status in community patients with hypertension
Abstract: Objective
To investigate the influencing factors of self-care status of patients with hypertension in communities, so as to provide scientific evidences for personal self-care management of hypertension patients.
Methods
From March 2016 to August 2017, 1 010 hypertensive patients from 6 communities in Chaoyang District of Beijing were surveyed using general data questionnaire, Self-care Status and Nursing Guidance Needs Questionnaire and Medication Compliance Scale, to analyze the influencing factors of self-care status.
Results
In the 1 010 cases of hypertension patients in community, the score of self-care status was (1.70±0.22) , the score of the demand of nursing education was (1.69±0.33) , and the score of medication compliance was (3.54±0.58) . The differences in the score of self-care status of patients with different education level and different years of hypertension diagnosis were statistically significant (P<0.05) . There were significant differences in the scores of nursing guidance needs among patients of different ages and educational backgrounds (P<0.05) . There were significant differences in the scores of medication compliance among patients of different ages, occupations and years of hypertension diagnosis (P<0.05) . Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age, education level, years of hypertension diagnosis and occupation were the influencing factors of self-care status of patients.
Conclusions
Self-care status of hypertensive patients are affected by age, education level, years of diagnosis and occupations. The personal health education and guidance should be given based on patients'different social background, so as to enhance the level of self-care status and improve the patients'life quality.
