Insights
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) show deficits in rehabilitation knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Factors like education and income significantly influence these areas, necessitating targeted interventions for improved quality of life.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Patient Rehabilitation
- Health Psychology
Background:
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) requires comprehensive rehabilitation.
- Understanding patient knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors is crucial for effective rehabilitation.
- Existing rehabilitation strategies may not fully address patient-specific needs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy during rehabilitation.
- To identify key factors influencing these aspects in HCM patients.
- To inform the development of optimized rehabilitation interventions.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 193 HCM patients.
- Utilized a specialized questionnaire assessing rehabilitation knowledge, attitude, and behavior.
- Employed univariate and multivariate regression analyses to determine influencing factors.
Main Results:
- Patients scored 7.91±3.14 in knowledge, 34.73±3.16 in attitude, and 39.44±3.95 in behavior.
- Overall score was 82.08±7.84.
- Education level, employment status, and income significantly impacted knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors (P<0.05).
Conclusions:
- Significant room for improvement exists in HCM patient rehabilitation knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.
- Interventions should be tailored based on individual patient profiles and influencing factors.
- Optimizing rehabilitation cognition, attitude, and behavior can enhance patient quality of life.
Purpose:
This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy during the rehabilitation process and to explore the variables that influence these factors.
Method:
This study used a convenient sampling method to select 193 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who were treated in our hospital from June 2022 to 2024 as the research subjects. A special hypertrophic cardiomyopathy rehabilitation knowledge, attitude and behavior questionnaire was used to investigate the patients' rehabilitation cognition, emotional tendency and practical behavior. Then, univariate analysis and multivariate linear regression models were used to explore the key factors affecting knowledge acquisition, attitude formation and behavioral performance in the rehabilitation process of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Result:
The knowledge score of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was (7.91 ± 3.14) points, the belief score was (34.73 ± 3.16) points, the behavior score was (39.44 ± 3.95) points, and the total score was (82.08 ± 7.84) points. The study found that education level, work status and monthly per capita income were important factors affecting the knowledge, beliefs and behavior patterns of HCM patients (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
There is room for improvement in the rehabilitation knowledge, beliefs and behaviors of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In clinical practice, targeted intervention strategies should be designed and implemented based on the current rehabilitation cognition, attitude, behavior status and related influencing factors of such patients to optimize their rehabilitation cognition, attitude and behavior, thereby improving their quality of life.
