However, no studies have confirmed that the combined support of internal individual factors and external family environmental factors may play an important role in the self-management of patients with early CKD.Purpose: This current study aims to explore the effect of family function on the self-management of patients with early CKD and examine the mediating roles of self-perceived burden and ego depletion.Patients and Methods: Three hundred and sixty patients with stage 1– 3 CKD participated in the cross-sectional survey and completed structured questionnaires, including the family APGAR index, self-perceived burden scale, self-regulatory fatigue scale and chronic kidney disease self-management instrument. Mplus 8.3 was used to establish a structural equation model.Results: Family function had a positive predictive effect on self-management (β = 0.231, P < 0.001). Self-perceived burden and ego depletion were not only single mediating variables between family function and self-management but also played a chain-mediating role. The total indirect effect was 0.304 (95% CI: 0.234 to 0.388, P < 0.001), accounting for 56.82% of the total effect (β = 0.535, 95% CI: 0.420 to 0.651, P < 0.001).Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of self-management for patients and their families and provides new important theoretical guidance for multiple interventions of improving family function, reducing self-perceived burden and ego depletion to improve self-management, which is of great value in delaying the progression of renal disease.Keywords: chronic kidney disease, family function, self-management, self-perceived burden, ego depletion
