Objective To understand the current status of sedentary behavior in patients with stable chronic heart failure(CHF)and analyze its influencing factors,to provide a theoretical basis for formulating targeted intervention measures in the later stage.Methods A total of 196 patients with chronic heart failure who visited the outpatient department of Car-diovascular Medicine in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from April 2023 to October 2023 were selected by the convenient sampling method.The general information questionnaire,international physical activity ques-tionnaire short form(IPAQ-SF),Barthel index(BI),cardiac exercise self-efficacy instrument(CESEI),social support rating scale(SSRS),and self-rating depression scale(SDS)were used to investigate,logistic regression was used to ex-plore the influencing factors.Results The average daily sedentary time of the stable chronic heart failure patients was(8.19±2.71)h,and the total sedentary behavior time of 131 patients(66.84%)was more than 6 hours.Univariate re-sults showed that there were statistically significant differences in sedentary behavior among chronic heart failure patients with different genders,age,BMI,education level,number of exacerbations in the past year,degree of dependence,car-diac function classification,depression degree,self-efficacy score of cardiac rehabilitation exercise and social support score(P<0.05),logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=1.964,P=0.001),BMI(OR=0.474,P=0.007),heart function grade of NYHA(OR=3.854,P=0.001),self-efficacy of cardiac rehabilitation exercise(OR=0.940,P=0.027)and depression(OR=2.863,P=0.009)were the influencing factors of sedentary behavior in pa-tients with stable chronic heart failure.Conclusion The sedentary time of patients with stable chronic heart failure is longer,and sedentary behavior is common.In the future,medical staff can take effective interventions to reduce the sed-entary behavior of patients and improve their prognosis.
