Abstract:
Objective Based on the Integrated Theory of Health Behavior Change(ITHBC),the influencing factors of home medication safety were explored in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods This qualitative de-scription,involving a semi-structured in-depth interview of 22 CHF patients based on purposive sampling,was con-ducted from December 2022 to May 2023,at 3 hospitals in Changsha,Hunan.NVivo 11.0 software was used to or-ganize and code data,and content analysis was performed to analyze data.Results Totally 9 generic categories be-longing to 4 categories were extracted.These were knowledge(knowledge of disease and knowledge of medication safety),attitude and belief(attitude towards diseases and medication belief),self-regulation(participation in medica-tion safety self-management and growing through experience),and social facilitation(hospital consultation services,family support and objective situation interference).Conclusion Knowledge,belief,self-regulation and social facili-tation were interrelated to influence medication safety behavior of patients with CHF at home.Medical workers,family members and society should work together to provide medication safety information,create a supportive envi-ronment,focus on improving patients'awareness and ability of self-regulation,strengthen their belief in taking medi-cation,and ultimately ensure the home medication safety for CHF patients.
