Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between protection motivation and healthy behavior in high risk patients with stroke.
MethodsA total of 121 patients with high-risk stroke, who were screened and followed up in the stroke nursing clinic, were selected as the study objects using the convenient sampling method.The general data questionnaire, protection motivation questionnaire(PMQ-SHRP)and stroke health behavior scale(HBS-SP)were used to investigate the protection motivation and healthy behavior of the high-risk population, and the relationship between protection motivation and healthy behavior was analyzed.
ResultsThe total score of protection motivation was(184.38±14.25)points, and the average score of items was(3.76±0.29)points.The total score of healthy behavior was(76.93±10.46)points, and the average score of items was(3.08±0.42)points.The protection motivation was positively correlatied with healthy behavior(P < 0.01).The internal and external rewards, response costs and self-efficacy dimensions of protection motivation were positively correlated with healthy behavior(P < 0.01).
ConclusionsImproving the awareness of the severity, susceptibility and response efficiency of stroke high-risk population can reduce the internal and external rewards and response costs, and enhance self-efficacy to promote the protection motivation and establish healthy behaviors.
