Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between hope and medical coping styles among patients with diabetic foot ulcer.Method Fifty-four inpatients and outpatients with diabetic foot ulcer were investigated by the demographic questionnaire,the Herth hope index(HHI)and medical coping modes questionnaire(MCMQ)to investigate the status of their hope and coping styles and the correlation between them.Results The average score of hope was(36.50±5.06),which was at the high level.Confrontation was lower than the norm in coping styles(all P<0.05)and the differences between avoidance,acceptance-resignation and norm were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The average score on hope was positively correlated with confrontation but negatively correlated with avoidance(all P<0.05),and there was no significant correlation with acceptance-resignation(all P>0.05).Conclusions The hope of patients with diabetic foot is high.It is positively correlated with confrontation and negatively correlated with acceptance-resignation in coping styles.Nurses should instruct the patients to adopt positive coping styles,avoid negative coping styles and keep them at a higher level of hope.
