Abstract:
To investigate the present situation of empowerment in elderly patients with hypertension in the community, and to analyze its impact factors. Methods 176 elderly hypertensive patients in our community of Guangzhou city were investigated by convenience sampling method. The chronic disease empowerment scale, general self-efficacy scale and social support rating scale were used to investigate. Results The score of empowerment in elderly patients with hypertension was (147. 48 ± 15. 65). The score of self-management is the lowest dimension with the score rate of 44. 6％. The impact effects of education level, living conditions, course of disease, self-efficacy, objective support, subjective support and utilization of social support on empowerment were significant(P＜0. 05), which could explain 78. 1％ of the variance. Conclusion The empowerment level of elderly patients with hypertension in community is relatively low, the clinical medical staff should focus on the patients of lower education level, living alone, with a longer duration of disease. Nurses should pay attention to strengthening self-efficacy and social support of the patients so as too improve the clinical therapeutic effects of patients.
