Correlation of Personal Mastery and Coping Style in Patients with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Objective To explore the status quo of personal mastery among stable chronic obstructive pul-monary disease(COPD)patients,to analyze its correlation with coping styles,and to provide a basis for targeted interventions and service strategies.Methods By the convenience sampling method,340 stable COPD patients were selected,and a survey was conducted by general information questionnaires,the Per-sonal Mastery Scale(PMS),Social Support Rating Scale,and Trait Coping Style Questionnaire.Results The PMS score of the subjects was(24.23±4.98),with positive coping style score of(35.71±6.43)and negative coping style score of(27.60±6.73).Differences in PMS scores were statistically significant(all P<0.05)for gender,age,education level,occupation,healthcare payment method,long-term residence,av-erage monthly household income,proximity to medical institutions,disease duration,pulmonary rehabilita-tion training,comorbidities,depression,COPD Assessment Test(CAT)score,modified British medical re-search council score,pulmonary function classification,comprehensive assessment,frequency of acute exac-erbations in the past year,history of acute exacerbation hospitalization in the past year,self-care ability lev-el,as well as social support level among stable COPD patients.Gender,occupation,score,comprehensive as-sessment,self-care ability level,and social support were independent influencing factors for PMS(all P<0.05).PMS was positively correlated with positive coping style(r=0.548,P<0.01)and negatively corre-lated with negative coping style(r=-0.513,P<0.05).Conclusions The PMS of stable COPD patients is at a moderate level,influenced by various factors,and is correlated with coping styles.It is important to fo-cus on assessing the PMS of patients in clinical practice,develop targeted interventions,enhance positive coping strategies,and reduce adverse clinical events.
