Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of self-care behavior of non-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods A total of 336 patients with CKD were investigated by a general data questionnaire, the CKD Self-care Behavior Scale, Social Support Scale, Generalized Anxiety Self-assessment Scale, and 9-item Patients Health Questionnaire through WeChat platform, and the influencing factors of self-care behavior were explored by binary logistic regression analysis.Results The median score of self-care behavior of CKD patients without dialysis was 60, and the patients with median and high level of self-care behavior accounted for 97.6%. The score of self-care behavior of CKD patients without dialysis was positively correlated with the total score of social support (r=0.210, P<0.001), objective support score (r=0.127, P=0.020), subjective support score (r=0.195, P<0.001), and social support utilization score (r=0.164, P=0.002), and negatively correlated with the anxiety score (r=–0.132, P=0.015), depression score (r=–0.230, P<0.001), body mass index (r=–0.181, P=0.001), and systolic blood pressure (r=–0.168, P<0.001). The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of non-dialysis CKD patients’ self-care behavior were gender [(odds ratio, OR)=2.179, 95% confidence interval, CI (1.134, 4.187), P=0.019], systolic blood pressure [OR=0.967, 95%CI (0.947, 0.987), P=0.002], and depression score [OR=0.844, 95%CI (0.765, 0.931), P=0.001].Conclusions The self-care behavior of CKD patients without dialysis is at the median and high level. Healthcare workers can improve the self-care behavior of CKD patients by reducing their negative emotions such as depression, and guiding patients to carry out blood pressure management, to delay the progress of the disease.
