Multiple Mediation Effects of Health Locus of Control and Hope on the Relationship between Stroke Patients’ Social Support and Self-Management
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Objective This study aimed to identify the mediation effects of health locus of control (HLC) and hope between stroke patients’ social support and self-management. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 300 Chinese stroke patients were recruited by convenient sampling from the acupuncture department of two Chinese Traditional Medical Hospitals in Tianjin Province from June to September 2018. The self-report questionnaires include Social Support Assessment Scale, Herth Hope Index, Mental Health Locus of Control Scale, Stroke Self-management Behavior Scale, and personal information questionnaires. All the survey data were entered in Excel and analyzed using the SPSS 24.0 program. Mediation was tested with Bootstrapping in AMOS 23.0 program. Results The result showed that internal health locus of control (IHLC), chance health locus of control (CHLC) and hope were the mediators between social support and self-management. The direct, indirect, and total effects of social support on self-management behavior were 0.306 P < 0.01), 0.109 ( P < 0.01), and 0.415 ( P < 0.01), respectively. Conclusions Social support can directly influence self-management, and it can also indirectly influence self-management through IHLC, CHLC, and hope.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
