Chronic noncommunicable diseases are the leading drivers of morbidity and mortality all around the world. The objective of this study was to study factors related to self-care behaviors among patients with non-communicated disease in That sub-district, Warin Chamrap district, Ubon Ratchathani Province. Simple sampling technique was used to recruit 230 participants into the study. Data were collected using the self-care behavior questionnaire. Reliability of the self-care behavior questionnaire was .79. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Spearman rank correlation.
The findings revealed that self-care behaviors among patients with non-communicated disease was good (Mean = 3.81, SD = 0.42). Health believe pattern was associated with self-care behaviors (rs = .37, p <.001). Perceived risk and complication, perceived severity of disease, perceived benefit of preventative action were associated with self-care behaviors among patients with non-communicable disease (rs = .29, p<.001; rs = .19 p = .004; rs = .39 p <.001) respectively. The findings of this study can be used as the empirical evidence for nurses and other healthcare providers to promoting the information about risk and complication of non-communicable disease. The patients should be informed regarding the benefit of treatments as well as prevent them self from any complication. Furthermore, nursing intervention should be developed to enhance self-care behaviors by emphasizing these found factors.
