Objective To investigate the level and influencing factors of self-management behaviors among maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods Patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis were recruited from 4 tertiary hospitals in Chengdu from October 2016 to October 2017. Convenient sampling method was used to select patients. The instruments used in the study included General Information Questionnaire, Hemodialysis Self-management Instrument, Hemodialysis-related Knowledge Questionnaire, Herth Hope Index, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale, and Chronic Illness Resources Survey.Results A total of 360 patients were investigated, and 343 patients were finally included. The mean score of self-management behavior was 54.87±9.65. The results of multiple linear stepwise regression showed that gender, age, ethnic, monthly family income, chronic illness resources, knowledge and internal health locus of control were the significant influencing factors of self-management behaviors (P<0.05).Conclusion The self-management behavior among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis can be promoted by improving the level of knowledge and internal health locus of control, and making effective use of chronic illness resources.
