Description
Yiran Zhu and five co-authors gauge how actively older patients manage their long-term diseases, in a paper whose head dates it to 2023. Patients who take charge of their care tend to fare better, yet what lifts that drive in elders is unclear. The team surveyed 289 older patients at a large hospital in Zhengzhou. Scales measured their drive, their ease with online health tools, and their sense of power over their health.
Drive sat at a middle level on the whole. Patients with no faith ties and those from richer families scored higher. Stronger health power and sharper online skills each tracked with stronger drive. The authors say clinics can lift drive by coaching both: help elders feel in charge, and teach them to use digital health tools with trust. Such steps may pay off in better daily self-care.
