Influencing factors of kinesiophobia in older patients with chronic heart failure: A structural equation model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our recent study has demonstrated that kinesiophobia is common in Chinese inpatients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Symptoms of heart failure (HF), coping mode, self-efficacy for exercise (SEE), and social support have been reported to be associated with kinesiophobia. However, little is known about the relationships between these four variables and kinesiophobia in older patients with CHF.

Objective

To test a model of influencing factors of kinesiophobia in older CHF patients.

Methods

A cross-sectional design was conducted from January 2021 to October 2021. The general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart (TSK-SV Heart-C), Symptom Status Questionnaire-Heart Failure, SEE, the Medical Coping Modes Quest
