Kinesiophobia and its determinants in patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans of the lower limbs
Objective To investigate the status and factors associated with kinesiophobia in patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans(ASO)of the lower limbs,and to provide reference for targeted intervention.Methods A total of 136 patients with ASO of the lo-wer limbs hospitalized in the department of vascular surgery were surveyed using a general information questionnaire,the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia,the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),the Short Physical Performance Battery(SPPB)and the Medica Co-ping Modes Questionnaire(MCMQ).Results The score of kinesiophobia in ASO patients was(41.95±11.66),and the incidence of kinesiophobia was 55.15%.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age,VAS score,lower limb functional performance,and medical coping modes were the main influencing factors for kinesiophobia in ASO patients(all P<0.05).Conclusion The inci-dence of kinesiophobia is relatively high in ASO patients.Medical staff should formulate targeted interventions according to the in-fluencing factors to reduce the occurrence of kinesiophobia in patients.
