Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical status of disease self-management ability in patients with chronic hepatitis B liver fibrosis and to analyze the effect of gratitude,social support and perceived stress on the ability.Methods Totally 236 patients with chronic hepatitis B liver fibrosis were selected from Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital by convenient sampling from January 2016 to June 2017 and investigated with the general information questionnaire,the Chronic Hepatitis B Self-Management Scale,the Gratitude Resentment and Appreciation Test (GRAT),the Social Support Rating Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale-Chinese (CPSS).PASW Statistics 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 were used to analyze the effects.Results The disease self-management score in patients with chronic hepatitis B liver fibrosis was (94.41 ± 16.78).According to correlation analysis,gratitude,social support and perceived stress were positively correlated with disease self-management (r=0.327,0.339;P < 0.05);while perceived stress was negatively correlated with disease self-management (r=-0.574,P < 0.05).The multiple linear regression analysis and model fitting showed that gratitude had direct effect on disease self-management (β=0.314);social support had direct influence (β=0.354) and indirect (β=0.199) effect on it;and perceived stress had direct (β=-0.567) and indirect (β=-0.058) on it.Conclusions The patients with chronic hepatitis B liver fibrosis show a relatively poor disease self-management ability.Clinical medical and nursing staff shall cultivate the patients' gratitude,mobilize their social support,reduce their perceived stress and improve their disease self-management ability.
