【 摘 要 】

Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between chronic illness resources, patient activation and self‐management behaviour among middle‐aged and older patients with CHD. Design A cross‐sectional, descriptive correlational study was performed. Methods A convenience sample of 296 participants were recruited in Tianjin, China. Data were collected by using the Chronic Illness Resource Survey (CIRS), Patient Activation Measure (PAM) and Coronary Artery Disease Self‐Management Scale (CSMS). Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation analysis were used to data analysis. Linear regression analysis was performed to explore the mediating role of patient activation. Results The results showed that chronic illness resources and patient activation were significantly and positively correlated with self‐management behaviours (p < .01). Patient activation had a partial intermediary between chronic illness resources and self‐management behaviours, and the mediation effect was 0.230. Patient activation mediated the relationship between chronic illness resources and self‐management. In order to improving the self‐management behaviours, medical staff need to pay attention to the importance of chronic illness resources and patient activation.
