Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the phosphate control adherence behavior of hemodialysis patients and its related factors. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design and structured questionnaire. A total of 141 hemodialysis patients from the two hospital hemodialysis centers were recruited as participants. Statistical analyses consisted of descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS 16.0 statistical software. Results: We found that younger patients, singles, patients who live with their parents, and patients with high self awareness on the symptoms of hyperphospthemia had comparatively poor phosphate control adherence behavior. Hemodialysis patients with higher social support, better self efficacy, more positive outcome expectations and a tendency towards internal health locus of control tended to exhibit better phosphate control adherence behavior. Age, marital status, living conditions, self awareness symptoms of hyperphospthemia, social support, internal control, self efficacy, and outcome expectations explained 56.4% of the variance in the phosphate control adherence behavior of hemodialysis patients. Self efficacy was the main predictor among these variables. Conclusions: The results of this study can be used by healthcare workers as a reference during the performance of health education. |
