Abstract:
Objective To explore the self-management behaviors of the patients with lumbar disc herniation. Methods Chronic disease self-management behavior measuring scale was used to investigate the self-management behaviors of 96 lumbar disc herniation patients. Results The score on self-management behaviors of the LDH patients was 20.42±7.52. 65.63%~84.38%of the patients took the wrong position at sitting, moving articles, and fetching articles from a low and high spot. 59.38%of them did not wear the waist supporter. 73.96%~95.83%of them did not follow the doctors' advice to sleep on hard bed, carry weights and keep the back warm. Conclusions The self-management behavior among LDH patients is dissatisfying. The nurses should provide patients with education on self-management behaviors, instructing them to take effective functional exercises, focusing on importance of cognitive symptom management in relieving pain and reducing negative emotion. Meanwhile, the nurses should advice patients to take right self-management behavior in daily life in order to promote the recovery of the function by patients' healthy behavior and life style.
