Abstract:
Objective To explore the current situations in self-management of cancer patients over peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) and the influencing factors. Method Self-designed general demographic data form, disease-related questionnaire and PICC self-management ability for cancer patients were used to investigate 98 tumor patients with PICC. Results The total score on self-management ability of the cancer patient with PICC was (150.85 ± 17.35). The influencing factors of their self-management of PICC included education level, economic condition, presence or absence of long-term caregivers and cognitive disorders, all contributive to the prediction of 28.60%total variance for the patients′self-management capability. Conclusions Cancer patients have a better ability in managing PICC, but a few patients failed to grasp self-management skills, which was resulted from many factors. Nurses should pay more attention to those with less education, under poorer economic conditions and without long-term caregivers, and provide them with more care and education so as to comprehensively improve their self-management skills.
