Abstract:
Objective To study the correlation between health behavior and social support of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select 69 cases of COPD in a Class 3 hospital in Guangzhou who were stable enough to be permitted for discharge and ambulatory treatment.General information questionnaire,health promotion lifestyle (HPL) and social support research scale (SSRS) were used to assess their health behavior and social support.Results Total score of the 69 COPD patients' social support was (30.580 ± 5.097),which was medium.And total score of their health behavior was (130.710 ± 16.348),in which scores of health responsibility,body activity,nutrition,metal health,interpersonal relationship and stress adjustment were all lower than 33％,which was thelow level.There was statistically significant difference between every dimension of social support and dimensionsin health behavior including health responsibility,body activity,nutrition,metal health and stress adjustment(r =0.239-0.533,P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between objective support,support availability in social support and interpersonal relationship in health behavior (P ＞ 0.05).The total score of COPD patients' health behavior was related to the total score of their social support (r =0.371,P ＜0.01).Conclusions The health behavior and social support of COPD patients is positively correlated.Better social support and targeted nursing intervention can improve their health behavior.It is,therefore,an effective way to improve COPD patients' heath behavior by raising the level of social support.
