The Factors Influencing Dialysis Patients' Self-Care
抄録
人工透析治療を受ける患者のセルフケア度とその影響要因について調べた.調査対象は透析治療専門の2ヵ所の病院に通院する成人患者120名とした.測定用具は透析患者のセルフケア度測定尺度を使用した.また, 彼らの病気一般に対する脆弱感, 予防的保健行動とその優先性等の測定には既存の尺度を使用した.その結果, 人工透析患者のセルフケアの8つの下位尺度における各セルフケア得点は, 性別や原疾患及び透析期間等の違いで有意差があった.また, 透析患者のセルフケアの下位尺度得点は, 予防的保健行動や生活行動に対する保健行動の優先性及び病気一般に対する脆弱感等の得点と有意に高い相関を認めた.これらの結果は先行研究の結果を強化していることが示唆された.
The purpose of this study was to examine the factors influencing self-care of dialysis patients. The subjects were 120 dialysis outpatients in two hospitals. The scales used were Self-care Measurement Scale for dialysis patients, Vulnerability Questionnaires, Preventeve Health Behavior Scale and Scale measuring Priority of health behaviors by Munakata. The scores of universal self-care and health-deviation self-care showed highly significant, difference by patients' characterization. In addition, the scores of their self-cares were positively correlated with the scores of their preventive health behavior, priority of health behaviors and vulnerability. However, the self-care scores of the patients' with primary disease showed negative corrlation with the scores of their velnerability. These findings confirm the results in precedence studies.
