Abstract

Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-care management behaviors of individuals with chronic disease and their adaptation to chronic illness.

Methods: This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted with 312 patients treated at a Training and Research Hospital in Turkey between December 2023 and March 2024. The data were collected using a Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, the Self-Care Management Scale in Chronic Illness (SCMP-G) and the Adaptation to Chronic Illness Scale (ACIS).

Results: Mean total scores of the participants for SCMP-G were 107.52 ± 12.51 and 77.00 ± 10.00 for ACIS. There was a low-level negative correlation between age and chronic disease adaptation (rh = -0.201; P < 0.001). Adaptation to chronic illness decreased with increasing age. There was a low-level negative correlation between BMI and physical adaptation (rh = -0.127; P = 0.026) and self-guarding (rh = -0.114; P = 0.046). As BMI increased, physical adaptation and self-guarding decreased. Regression analyses revealed that age (β = -0.115, t = -0.511, P < 0.05) and economic status (β = 2.698, t = -2.487, P < 0.05) had a significant effect on adaptation to chronic illness. Multiple regression analysis of the effect of self-guarding and social guarding variables on adaptation to chronic illness was significant (F = 3.504, P < 0.05).

Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, self-care management behaviors have a significant effect on adaptation to chronic illness and individual characteristics affect the results. Individual assistance should be extended to the patients to develop self-care management behaviors, which can induce lifestyle changes and necessary trainings should be planned. Future research should prioritize evaluating nurse-led interdisciplinary interventions and exploring the impact of tailored strategies for specific chronic conditions to improve self-care and adaptation.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare (JMDH) aims to represent and publish research in healthcare areas delivered by practitioners of different disciplines. This includes studies and reviews conducted by multidisciplinary teams as well as research which evaluates or reports the results or conduct of such teams or healthcare processes in general. The journal covers a very wide range of areas and we welcome submissions from practitioners at all levels and from all over the world. Good healthcare is not bounded by person, place or time and the journal aims to reflect this. The JMDH is published as an open-access journal to allow this wide range of practical, patient relevant research to be immediately available to practitioners who can access and use it immediately upon publication.
