Latent Profile Analysis of Financial Toxicity and Its Influencing Factors Among Stroke Patients
Objective To explore the potential profile of financial toxicity and its influencing factors among stroke patients.Methods Convenience sampling was employed to investigate 255 stroke patients in a tertia-ry A hospital in Shanghai from March to August,2023.Data was collected using the general information questionnaire,Comprehensive Scores for Financial Toxicity Based on the Patient-Reported Outcome Meas-ures,Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire,and Social Support Rating Scale.Latent profile analysis,univari-ate analysis,and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to identify distinct profiles and influen-cing factors of financial toxicity in stroke patients.Results The Financial toxicity among stroke patients was classified into three latent profiles:"mild financial toxicity group"(36.546％),"moderate financial tox-icity risk group"(31.727％),and"no financial toxicity group"(31.727％).The influencing factors of the latent profiles of financial toxicity in stroke patients included household per capita monthly income,method of medical expense payment,number of comorbidities,modified Rankin Scale score,facing dimension,avoidance dimension,and objective support(all P＜0.05).Conclusions There is heterogeneity in the finan-cial toxicity levels among stroke patients.Healthcare professionals should develop targeted intervention measures based on the classification features of different profiles of financial toxicity in stroke patients,ai-ming to alleviate their financial toxicity.
