Correlation Between Self‐Management Behavior and Self‐Efficacy in Patients With Lower Extremity Arterial Disease

Le résumé fourni par la source

Lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) is a common condition that significantly impacts patients' quality of life and increases the risk of disability. Effective self-management is critical for patients with LEAD to improve health outcomes and prevent disease progression. This study aims to explore and analyze the internal correlation between self-management behavior and self-efficacy of patients with lower extremity artery disease. A convenience sampling method was used to select 146 patients with LEAD who visited the vascular surgery department in a hospital in Shanxi Province from January 2022 to December 2022. The Chronic Disease Self-Management Behavior Scale and the Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale were used to assess patients' self-management behaviors and self-efficacy levels. Pearson correlation analysis was employed to explore the relationship between the two. The total self-management behavior score of 143 patients with LEAD was 17.64 ± 3.24. The total self-efficacy score was 33.24 ± 4.11. The total score of self-management behavior was positively correlated with the total score of self-efficacy. The self-management abilities of patients with LEAD are generally low. Healthcare providers should focus on enhancing self-management behaviors, boosting patients' confidence in managing their condition, correcting misconceptions, and providing targeted interventions.
