Factors Related to Health Promoting Behaviors in Persons with Hematologic Malignancies after Stem Cell Transplantation
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the relationship between gender, age, education level,depression, perceived benefits of action, perceived self-efficacy, social support, and health-promoting behaviors in persons with hematologic malignancies after stem cell transplantation. Pender’s Health Promotion Model was used as a conceptual framework. The sample consisted of 105 individuals who had undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation within the past year. These individuals received follow-up treatment at the outpatient departments of state-affiliated hospitals with blood stem cell transplantation centers located in the Bangkok metropolitan area. Data were collected between September 2023 and November 2023 using six sets of questionnaires. The questionnaires elicited personal information, depression, perceived benefits, perceived self-efficacy, social support, and health-promoting behaviors. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, including percentages, means, standard deviations, Eta correlation, Spearman rank correlation, and Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient. The results indicated that the overall health-promoting behaviors in persons with hematologic malignancies after stem cell transplantation were at a high level. Perceived self-efficacy, perceived benefits of action, social support, and female gender were positively associated with health-promoting behaviors at a significant level. Depression had a statistically significant negative correlation with health-promoting behaviors. Age and education level were not significantly associated with health-promoting behaviors. The results highlight the importance of health-promoting behaviors in persons with hematologic malignancies after stem cell transplantation and the factors that support or hinder these behaviors. Therefore, nurses should provide healthpromoting activities that align with the related factors and health-promoting experiences of individuals with hematologic malignancies after stem cell transplantation to maintain continuous health-promoting behaviors and well-being.
