背景:心衰竭(Heart Failure, HF)為全球高流行率的心血管疾病之一,低收縮分率心衰竭(Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction, HFrEF)屬臨床上較嚴重的心衰竭類型,再住院率高但治癒率低。HFrEF患者常因自我效能低合併對疾病和預後所產生的憂鬱,致不佳的自我照護行為。然而,即使自我照護行為、憂鬱和自我效能的相關性已於過去研究所證實,然而,斯里蘭卡HFrEF患者的自我照護行為是否亦與憂鬱及自我效能相關仍尚無定論。
目的:本研究旨以結構方程模式(Structural Equation Modeling, SEM)驗證憂鬱、自我效能對自我照護行為的影響。
研究方法:本研究採橫斷式設計,於斯里蘭卡康提醫院心衰竭門診進行收案。由於「自我照護自我效能量表」及「簡化版歐洲心衰竭自我照護行為量表(9-item European Heart Failure Self‐care Behaviour scale, EHFScB‐9)」未有僧伽羅語版本,故先進行此二問卷的跨文化轉譯和信效度檢驗。SEM則用於驗證憂鬱及自我效能對斯里蘭卡HFrEF患者自我照護行為的影響。
研究結果:本研究共召募271位2024年7月至11月間於斯里蘭卡康提醫院心衰竭門診就診的HFrEF患者(平均年齡65.9±9.7歲、76%為男性、74.5% 教育程度至小學)。本研究僧伽羅語化的「自我照護自我效能量表」及「簡化版歐洲心衰竭自我照護行為量表」具良好信效度,驗證性因素分析亦顯示兩量表皆具良好的效度(自我照護自我效能量表:χ²/df=1.86,RMSEA=0.056,CFI=0.995、簡化版歐洲心衰竭自我照護行為量表:χ²/df=2.75,RMSEA=0.080,CFI=0.950);此兩量表已公開於線上資源供臨床及研究使用。SEM顯示本研究所假設憂鬱及自我效能將影響斯里蘭卡HFrEF患者自我照護行為的整體模型適配極佳(χ²/df=1.24,RMSEA=0.030,CFI=0.994),證實自我效能在憂鬱與自我照護行為具中介作用。憂鬱對自我效能具顯著負向影響(β = -0.559, p<.001);自我效能則顯著預測「遵從處置」(β=0.641, p=.022)與「諮詢行為」(β=0.186, p=.010);憂鬱對「諮詢行為」雖帶來負向的影響(β=-0.233, p=.044),但對「遵從處置」則無顯著影響(β=0.113, p=.485)。自我效能對於憂鬱和自我照護行為皆可達成顯著的直接與間接影響:與「遵從處置」間為完全中介(p<.05),「諮詢行為」間則為部分中介(p<.05)。
結論與建議:本研究結果顯示,自我效能可緩衝憂鬱對斯里蘭卡HFrEF患者自我照護行為不佳的影響,尤其能針對「遵從處置」和「諮詢行為」造成直接或間接的矯正效果。建議將患者的憂鬱篩檢納入HFrEF的常規照護,並發展以理論為基礎、護理師主導的介入措施以增強斯里蘭卡HFrEF患者的自我效能。未來可進一步透過縱貫性或隨機對照研究驗證其因果關係,以為此稀少研究情境的臨床實務提供策略指引。
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a worldwide epidemic. Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) is the most clinically severe form of HF, causing nearly half of HF rehospitalizations and associated with low survival rate. Patients with HFrEF exhibit poor self-care behaviors due to inadequate self-efficacy and prevalence of comorbid depression. No studies have evaluated the complex relationship among HF self-care behavior, self-care self-efficacy, and depression, in Sri Lanka.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate a hypothesized conceptual model examining the direct and indirect effects of depression and self-care self-efficacy on self-care behavior among patients with HFrEF, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
Methods: This study employed a two-phase, cross-sectional design among patients with HFrEF (n = 271) attending the HF clinic at the National Hospital Kandy-Sri Lanka from July 2024 to November 2024. In Phase I, the Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale and the 9-item European Heart Failure Self-care Behavior Scale were translated, culturally adapted, and psychometrically validated to Sinhala Language. In Phase II, SEM was applied to test the hypothesized mediation model, examining the mediating role of self-care self-efficacy in the relationship between depression and self-care behaviors, with age and perceived social support included as covariates. Indirect effects were tested via 5,000-sample bootstrapping.
Results: A total of 271 patients with HFrEF were included (mean age = 65.9 ± 9.7 years). The majority were male (76%) and had a primary level of education (74.5%). During the Phase I, the Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the unidimensional structure of the Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale - Sinhala version with excellent model fit (χ²/df = 1.86, RMSEA = 0.056, CFI = 0.995), and strong factor loadings (β = 0.689–0.883). The CFA of European Heart Failure Self-care Behavior Scale - Sinhala version, confirmed a two-factor structure comprising ‘adherence to regimen’ and ‘consulting behavior’, with good fit indices (χ²/df = 2.75, RMSEA = 0.080, CFI = 0.950). The adapted Sinhala versions of Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale-Sinhala and European Heart Failure Self-care Behavior Scale are publicly available online, enhancing their use in clinical and research settings. In Phase II, the structural model demonstrated excellent fit (χ²/df = 1.24, RMSEA = 0.030, CFI = 0.994) demonstrating the mediating role of self-care self-efficacy between depression and the two self-care behavior domains, while controlling for age and social support. Depression had a significant negative effect on self-efficacy (β = –0.559, p < .001). Self-care self-efficacy significantly associated with both selfcare domains; ‘adherence to regimen’ (β = 0.641, p = .022) and ‘consulting behavior’ (β = 0.186, p = .010). Depression also had a direct negative effect on ‘consulting behavior’ (β = –0.233, p = .044), but not on ‘adherence to regimen’ (β = 0.113, p = .485). Self-care Self-efficacy fully mediated the effect of depression on ‘adherence to regimen’ (indirect effect: p < .05). For consulting behavior, partial mediation was observed (indirect effect: p < .05), with both direct and indirect effects remaining significant.
Conclusion and recommendations: Our findings demonstrated that self-care self-efficacy plays a significant mediating role, buffering the adverse effects of depression on heart failure self-care behavior across two key domains: adherence to regimen and consulting behavior. It fully mediated the pathway to adherence to regimen and partially mediated the effect on consulting behavior. Routine psychological screening and theory-based nurse-led interventions that strengthen self-efficacy are essential components of HF care. Future research should focus on longitudinal or randomized trials to confirm causal pathways and guide evidence-based practice in similar low-resource contexts.
