|
This descriptive-correlational study was undertaken in order to examine if there were relationships between health perception, health locus of control, family support and health behavior compliance in 118 Diabetic out patients who were enrolled in the medical department of two University Hospitals in Won Ju & Seoul using the Health Perception Questionnnaire developed by Lee, Young-Whee, the Multidimentional Health Locus of Control scale developed by Wallston & Waiiston, the Family Support scale developed by Kang, Hyun Sook, and the Health Behavior Complicance scale developed by Miller, the participants of this study were interviewed. Analysis of data was done using t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient.
The results were as follows:
Hypothesis 1; "The higher degree of present health perception, the higher compliance of health behavior" was not supported (r- -.020, p X05).
Hypo. 2; "The higher degree of past health perception, the higher compliance of health behavior" was not supported (r= -.051, p >.05).
Hypo. 3; "The higher degree of future health perception, the compliance of health behavior" was not supported (r= .060, p > .05).
Hypo. 4; "The higher degree of health concern, the higher compliance of health behavior" was supported (r= .354, p <.001).
Hypo. 5; "The higher degree of susceptibility, the -higher compliance of health behavior" was not supported (r- -.127, p X05).
Hypo. 6; "The lower degree of sick role behavior rejection, the higher compliance of healgh behavior" was supported (r= -.386, p <.001).
Hypo. 7; "The higher degree of Internal Health Locus of Control, the higher compliance of health behavior" was supported (r= .394, p < .00 1).
Hypo. 8; "The lower degree of chance Health Locus of Control, the higher compliance of health behavior" was not supported (r= .078, p >.05).
Hypo. 9; "The higher degree of Powerful others Health Locus of Control, the higher compliance of health behavior" was supported (r .307, p <.001).
HYPO- 10; "The higher degree of the family support, the higher compliance of health behavior" was supported (r= .252, p < .01).
Conclusion: this study revealed that health concern and sick role behavior rejection and Internal Health Locus of Control and Powerful others Health Locus of Control and family support are the important factors that can improve health behavior compliance in diabetics.
