Sex, marital status, per capita monthly income, payment of medical expenses, social status, disease staging, duration of morning stiffness, joint pain score, treatment, receiving health education, perceived severity, perceived benefits, cue to action and health motivation were significant predictors of the average score of self-management behaviour of the rheumatoid arthritis patients. Perceived severity, perceived benefits, cues to action and health motivation directly affected self-management behaviours; perceived severity influenced self-management behaviours through the mediating effect of cues to action; and health motivation affected self-management behaviours through the chain mediating effect of perceived benefits and cues to action.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Self-management behaviour of rheumatoid arthritis patients was at a moderate level, and health beliefs can effectively explain the differences in self-management behaviour scores. Health providers should pay attention to patients with different sociodemographic characteristics and disease-related characteristics, evaluate their health belief level, and develop targeted intervention measures to further improve patients' self-management behaviour level and improve their disease prognosis.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":14223,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nursing Practice","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143005219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
