To explore illness perception and perceived risk of developing diabetes complications in relation to health-promoting self-care behaviors among Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.
Illness and risk perceptions are important determinants of various health behaviors. However, few studies have simultaneously examined the impacts of these two constructs on self-care among diabetic patients.
Data were collected on participants' characteristics, illness perception, risk perception, and health-promoting self-care behaviors over 6months among 304 subjects from three general hospitals.
Significant associations between illness perception and risk perception were observed. Illness perception and/or risk perception explained an independent, small but significant proportion of the variance in each health-promoting self-care behavior.
One's perceptions of illness and future risk might be influential in understanding health-promoting self-care among diabetic patients. It may be useful to improve self-management by tailoring intervention content to individuals' illness-related perceptions.
探讨中国 2 型糖尿病患者的疾病感知和对糖尿病并发症发生风险的感知与促进健康的自我护理行为之间的关系。
疾病和风险感知是各种健康行为的重要决定因素。然而，很少有研究同时考察这两个结构对糖尿病患者自我护理的影响。
在 3 家综合医院中，对 304 名患者的特征、疾病感知、风险感知和促进健康的自我护理行为进行了 6 个月的随访。
观察到疾病感知和风险感知之间存在显著关联。疾病感知和/或风险感知独立地、但在统计学上显著地解释了每种促进健康的自我护理行为的一部分变异。
对疾病和未来风险的感知可能会影响对糖尿病患者促进健康的自我护理的理解。通过根据个体的疾病相关感知来调整干预内容，可能有助于改善自我管理。
