Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between hope level and self-management behaviors among patients with type 2 diabetes.Method One hundred and ninety-eight hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited in the investigation by convenience sampling in a first-class grade I hospital from December 2015 to April 2016 to understand the status of hope and self-management behaviors as well as the correlation between them.Results The score on hope level was (35.0±3.6),which was in a medium or above level.The total score of self-management behaviors was (84.1 ±13.0),which indicated their self-management remained in the middle level.The total score on the hope level and its all dimensions were positively correlated with the total score on self-management behaviors and the dimensions such as drug compliance,foot care,high and low blood sugar processing (all P ＜0.05).There was a positive relationship between maintain close relationship with others and regular exercise (P＜0.05).The average score on hope and each dimension were insignificantly correlated with diet control and blood glucose monitoring (all P＞0.05).Conclusions The hope of 2 diabetic patients is in a medium or above level.The hope level is closely related to their self-management behaviors.The nurses should pay attention to the hope level of patients.Effective nursing interventions should be adopted to improve the self-management ability and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes.
