Study on the correlation between self-management and quality of life of elderly patients with coronary heart disease (老年冠心病患者自我管理与生活质量的相关性研究)

Abstract

Objective To explore the correlation between self-management ability and quality of life in elderly patients with coronary heart disease. Methods The convenience sampling method was used to survey 188 elderly residents with coronary heart disease in the outpatient department of a tertiary hospital in Shanghai. The self-management ability and quality of life of elderly patients with coronary heart disease were evaluated by the Coronary Heart Disease Self-Management Scale (CSMS) and Seattle Angina Pectoris Scale (SAQ). Results The standardization score of self-management ability of elderly patients with coronary heart disease in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai was (84. 79±18. 19) points; the standardization score of quality of life was (70. 20±14. 38) points; there was a positive correlation between self-management ability and quality of life (r= 0. 283, P<0. 05). Conclusion The self-management and quality of life of elderly patients with coronary heart disease are at a low-medium level. Strengthening the connection between the hospital and the community may help improving the self-management ability of elderly patients with coronary heart disease, thereby improving their quality of life. (目的 探讨门诊老年冠心病患者自我管理能力和生活质量的相关性。方法 采用便利抽样法调查上海市某三甲医院门诊收治的老年冠心病本市户籍居民188例, 运用冠心病自我管理量表(CSMS)和西雅图心绞痛量表(SAQ)评估老年冠心病患者的自我管理能力及生活质量状况。结果 老年冠心病患者自我管理能力标准化的得分为(84. 79±18. 19)分; 生活质量标准化得分为(70. 20±14. 38)分; 自我管理能力与生活质量之间呈正相关(r=0. 283, P＜0. 05)。结论 老年冠心病患者自我管理与生活质量均处于中等偏下水平。加强医院与社区之间的联系, 可能有助于提高老年冠心病患者的自我管理能力, 从而提升其生活质量。)
