Rural residents have lower levels of engagement in health-promoting behaviors and treatment adherence than their urban counterparts. This cross-sectional study sought to understand the role of health self-efficacy as a precursor to engagement in health-promoting behaviors and treatment adherence in 273 rural patients. Structural equation model was used to examine whether health self-efficacy predicted engagement in health-promoting behaviors and treatment adherence. Results show that health self-efficacy predicts engagement in health-promoting behaviors and treatment adherence. Boosting patients' health self-efficacy could be a way of increasing their engagement in health-promoting behaviors and treatment adherence and thus of improving their health outcomes.
农村居民比城市居民参与健康促进行为和治疗依从性的程度更低。这项横断面研究旨在了解健康自我效能作为273名农村患者参与健康促进行为和治疗依从性的先兆因素所起的作用。采用结构方程模型来检验健康自我效能是否能预测健康促进行为和治疗依从性。结果表明，健康自我效能能预测健康促进行为和治疗依从性。提高患者的健康自我效能可能是增加他们参与健康促进行为和治疗依从性的一种方式，从而改善他们的健康状况。
