Latent profile analysis of exercise perception among end-stage renal disease patients and its relationship with change in physical activities
Objective To investigate the potential categories of exercise perception in patients with end-stage renal disease(ESRD),and analyze the relationship between different latent categories and change in physical activity,so as to provide references for targeted intervention.The latent profile analysis was used to extract potential categories of exercise perception,and multiple linear regression analysis was conducted with potential categories as independent variables and change in physical activity as dependent variables.Methods A total of 265 ESRD patients from a tertiary hospital were selected from June 2022 to May 2023 by convenience sampling method.The general data questionnaire,the Dialysis Patient-perceived Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale(DPEBBS)and the Measuring Change in Physical Activity Questionnaire(MCPAQ)were used for investigation.Results A total of 241 ESRD patients completed the survey.The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level,family per capita monthly income and potential categories of exercise perception were the influencing factors of change in physical activity in ESRD patients(P<0.05).Conclusion There was group heterogeneity in the exercise perception in patients with ESRD.Clinical workers should give targeted intervention according to the potential categories of patients'exercise perception,so as to promote the initiation and long-term maintenance of the change in physical activity.
