Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the uncertainty in illness of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to explore the influencing factors and humanistic care strategies.Methods:The general situation questionnaire and the uncertainty in illness scale were used to investigate the influencing factors of uncertainty in illness and positive humanistic care strategies in patients with SLE.Results:Patients with SLE were at a high level of uncertainty in illness,of which the unpredictability and uncertainty scored higher but lack of information and complexity were of lower scores.Educational status,family income,and self-perceived severity of disease were the main influencing factors of uncertainty in illness (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Patients with SLE were at a high level of uncertainty in illness,mainly from the unpredictable progress of disease and prognosis and unclear symptoms of the disease.Educational status,family income,and self-perceived severity of disease were the main influencing factors of uncertainty in illness.The clinical staff should pay attention to uncertainty in illness among patients with SLE and adopt positive humanistic care measures so as to reduce the sense of uncertainty in illness.
