The Mediating Effect of Disease Impact Degree Between Coping Ability and Well-Being in Elder-ly Patients with Hypertension
Objective To explore the correlation between coping ability,disease impact degree and well-be-ing of elderly patients with hypertension,construct a mediation effect model,and explore the mediating role of disease impact degree between coping ability and subjective well-being of patients.Methods From No-vember 2022 to May 2023,537 elderly hypertensive patients from two tertiary A hospitals in Jinzhou,Lia-oning Province were selected as the study objects by convenience sampling method.General data question-naire,psychological congruence scale,disease impact scale and comprehensive happiness questionnaire were used to investigate them.Results The average score of coping ability of hypertensive patients was(54.91±15.55),the average score of disease impact degree was(252.59±12.05),and the average score of well-being was(52.22±8.63).The results of correlation analysis showed that well-being was positively correlated with coping ability(r=0.82,P<0.01)and was negatively correlated with disease impact degree(r=-0.56,P<0.01),and coping ability was negatively correlated with disease impact degree(r=-0.54,P<0.01).The mediating effect showed that the degree of disease impact played a partial mediating role in the path of coping ability to well-being,with a mediating effect value of 0.16 and a total effect value of 0.77,ac-counting for 20.78%of the total effect.Conclusions Coping ability can have a direct effect on well-being,and the degree of disease impact plays a partial mediating role in the path of coping ability to well-being.
