Abstract:
Objective:To explore the influence of mutuality between patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and family caregivers on their positive emotions and positive coping styles based on the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) .Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From January to July 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 101 pairs of CHF patients and their family caregivers in the Department of Cardiovascular of the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University. The self-designed General Information Questionnaire, the Mutuality Scale (MS) , the Chinese version of Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) and the Chinese version of Simple Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey of patients with heart failure and their family caregivers, and we established the APIM for the mutuality to positive emotions and positive coping styles.Results:In terms of the actor effect, the mutuality of CHF patients and their family caregivers could affect their own positive emotions (regression coefficients were 3.922, 3.427; P<0.01) and positive coping styles (regression coefficients were 2.936, 2.828; P<0.01) . In terms of the partner effect, the mutuality of family caregivers could affect the positive emotions (regression coefficient was 2.744, P<0.01) and positive coping styles (regression coefficient was 2.198, P<0.05) of CHF patients. Conclusions:CHF patients' emotions and coping behaviors are positively affected by the perceived mutuality between themselves and family caregivers, suggesting that clinicians should pay attention to the evaluation of the mutuality in CHF family care and actively explore intervention programs focusing on the mutuality.
