Main Article Content
Abstract
The study was aimed to: 1) determine the status of perceived self-efficacy and social support and attitudes in selecting renal replacement therapy among patients with stage 4 2) examine the relationship between perceived self-efficacy and social support and attitudes in selecting renal replacement therapy among patients with stage 4. The sample were selected at 15 sub-district health promoting hospitals in Muang District, Phayao Province. A total of 82 people were recruited by using the simple random sampling according to the inclusion criteria. The questionnaire consisted of personal data, the perceived self-efficacy questionnaire, the social support questionnaire and the attitudes in selecting renal replacement therapy questionnaire. The questionnaires were tested by using Cronbach alpha coefficients was 0.81, 0.91 and 0.91, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
The results showed that: 1. The perceived self-efficacy was at a high level, 82.93 percent (𝑥̅= 29.30, SD = 4.27), social support was at a high level, 85.37 percent (𝑥̅= 34.70, SD = 4.33) and the attitudes in selecting renal replacement therapy was at a high level too, 78.05 percent (𝑥̅= 88, SD = 11.39).
2. The correlation between these factors showed that the perceived self-efficacy was positively associated with the social support (r= .460, P<.001). The attitudes in selecting renal replacement therapy were positively associated with the perceived self-efficacy (r= .449, P<.001) and the social support (r= .482, P<.001). It was also found that factors that most predictive of the attitudes in selecting renal replacement therapy were the social support (β=.349, p=.01) and the perceived self-efficacy (β=.289, p=.01)
Therefore, multi-disciplinary team should promote self-efficacy and social support in patients with stage four chronic kidney disease, to better attitudes in selecting renal replacement therapy.
