EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF COX'S HEALTH BEHAVIOR INTERACTION MODEL ON COMPLIANCE AND OUTCOMES IN PERITONEAL DIALYSIS PATIENTS: IMPLICATIONS FOR ATHLETIC HEALTH MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to assess the impact of Cox's Health Behavior Interaction Model on improving clinical outcomes and health behavior compliance in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, with potential implications for managing chronic conditions in athletes. Methods: We enrolled 120 peritoneal dialysis patients from January 2021 to December 2022, randomly assigning them into two groups: a control group (n=60) receiving standard nursing care, and a study group (n=60) managed using Cox's Health Behavior Interaction Model. We compared health behavior compliance, blood indices, nursing satisfaction, and the incidence of complications between the two groups. Results: The study group demonstrated significantly higher health behavior compliance than the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the study group exhibited improved blood indices and higher nursing satisfaction (P < 0.05). Importantly, the incidence of complications was notably lower in the study group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Implementing Cox's Health Behavior Interaction Model in the management of peritoneal dialysis patients significantly enhances health behavior compliance, optimizes clinical blood indices, increases nursing satisfaction, and reduces complications. These findings suggest that similar health behavior models could be beneficial in managing chronic health conditions among athletes, potentially improving their overall health management and quality of life. The model's effectiveness in promoting positive health behaviors and reducing healthcare complications highlights its applicability in sports medicine, particularly for athletes with chronic conditions requiring ongoing medical care.
