Study on correlation between health behavior and health mental control locus in patients with ischemic stroke / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the correlation between the health mental control locus and health behavior in the patients with ischemic stroke in order to provide a new idea for increasing the health level of the patients.Methods The convenience sampling method was used.The multidimensional health locus of control scales form C(MHLC-C) and health-promoting lifestyle profile Ⅱ (HPLP Ⅱ) were used to conduct the questionnaire survey on 117 cases of ischemic stroke in a grade 3A hospital of Guangzhou City.Results The highest patients' scored was the powerful others (doctor)health locus of control(4.96±0.87) and the lowest was the chance health locus of control(2.93 ±1.03).The health behavior score averaged(2.25 ± 0.30).The internality health locus of control and the powerful others (doctor)health locus of control were positively correlated with health behavior total score (r=0.536,0.235,P＜0.01),the chance health locus of control was negatively correlated with health behavior total score (r=-0.286,P＜0.01),the powerful others(other people) was positively correlated with the nutritional dimension and interpersonal relationaship dimension of health behavior (r=0.186,0.209,P＜0.05).Conclusion The patients with ischemic stroke have lower level of health behaviors and tend to externality health locus of control.Their health behavior has a correlation with health mental control locus.
