Objective To investigate the relationship between symptom burden and rehabilitation self-efficacy of patients after fragility fracture surgery,and to study the chain mediating role of social support and perceived stress in the influence of symptom burden on rehabilitation self-efficacy of such patients.Methods Approved by the Ethics Committee of the hospital,168 patients who met the admission criteria after fragility fracture surgery admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from July 2020 to December 2023 were included in the study by convenient sampling method,and general data of the patients were collected.M.D.Anderson Symptom Inventor(MDASI),Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale(SECD6),Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS)and Perceived Stress Scale(CPSS)were used to investigate the above patients,and multiple sets of quantitative data were analyzed for attribution association profile and mediation effect.Results After removing invalid questionnaires,a total of 160 valid questionnaires were collected,with an effective response rate of 95.24％.Correlation analysis showed that symptom burden was negatively correlated with rehabilitation self-efficacy(r=-0.405,P＜0.05);social support was significantly positively correlated with rehabilitation self-efficacy(r=0.558,P＜0.05);perceived stress was negatively correlated with rehabilitation self-efficacy(r=-0.330,P＜0.05);symptom burden was negatively correlated with social support(r=-0.191,P＜0.05);social support was negatively correlated with perceived stress(r=-0.280,P＜0.05);symptom burden was positively correlated with perceived stress(r=0.376,P＜0.05).Mediating effect test showed that the symptom burden of patients after fragility fracture surgery had a direct impact on rehabilitation self-efficacy(β=-0.402,t=0.148,P＜0.05),and had an impact on rehabilitation self-efficacy through 3 mediating pathways:first,the mediating effect of social support alone(β=-0.098,95％CI:-0.112～-0.074);the second was the mediating effect of stress perception alone(β=-0.081,95％CI:-0.104～-0.061);the third is the chain mediating effect of social support and stress perception(β=-0.056,95％CI:-0.074～-0.030).Conclusion The burden of symptoms after fragility fracture surgery has a direct effect on rehabilitation self-efficacy.Symptom burden influences postoperative self-efficacy of patients with fragility fractures through the chain mediation of social support and perceived stress.Early and accurate assessment of symptom burden,stress perception and social support should be conducted.According to needs,the multidisciplinary medical team provides individualized and diversified health education support to actively help and guide the self-regulation of patients'stress perception,so as to reduce patients'symptom burden and promote the improvement of their self-efficacy in the process of rehabilitation.
