Studies indicate that good self-management can be effective in controlling disease symptoms. However, there is still insufficient evidence on the association between self-management and symptom burden among CHF patients. This study aimed to observe and assess the correlation of the self-management with the symptom burden and each dimension status in patients with CHF.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Data were collected in-hospital using convenience sampling, and 128 patients with CHF were included. A general data questionnaire was used to collect demographic and disease-related data. The Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Heart Failure was used to measure patients’ symptom burdens. The Heart Failure Self-Management Scale was used to measure the self-management level of patients. The correlation between self-management and symptom burden was analyzed using the Spearman correlation.Results: The total scores for symptom burden and self-management were 1.26 ± 0.49 and 49.97 ± 7.14, respectively. The total score of self-management was negatively correlated with that of symptom burden. The univariate linear regression analysis indicated that age, place of residence, smoking, residence status, New York Heart Association grade of cardiac function, and attitude toward the disease were risk factors for symptom burden. The multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the regression model with symptom burden as a dependent variable included three variables: drug management, symptom management, and attitude toward the disease.Conclusion: Hospitalized patients with CHF had heavy overall symptom burdens, and their self-management levels were moderate to low. There was a negative correlation between the total self-management score and each dimension of symptom burden.Keywords: chronic heart failure, symptom burden, self-management |
