Abstract:
Objective To investigate the current status of life meaning in patients with chronic heart failure, and analyze its influencing factors.
Methods Using the convenient sampling method, 150 chronic heart failure patients who were hospitalized in the cardiovascular department were selected as research objects. The patients were investigated by General information questionnaire, Meaning in Life Questionnaire, Family Functioning Index Scoring Questionnaire, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Multiple stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of meaning in life in CHF patients.
Results A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and a total of 144 valid questionnaires were returned. The total score of meaning of life in CHF patients was (38.35±10.2), the total score of family function index was (8.16±2.52), the total score of disease perception was (47.00±9.22), the score of anxiety scale was (8.32±4.17), and the score of depression scale was (8.03±4.85). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that illness perception, family function, anxiety, age and monthly income were influencing factors of life meaning in CHF patients (P < 0.05).
Conclusion The meaning of life in CHF patients is at a low level. It is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the patient's perception of the disease, psychological status, family care ability, formulate targeted intervention measures, and encourage patients to actively participate in self-management, thereby improving prognosis and the meaning of life.
