Experiences and Perceptions of Chinese Elderly Dry Eye Patients Seeking Health Behavior Management: A Qualitative Study Based on a Health Belief Model by Tang Y, Yi L, Ma Y, Liu Q, Zhang Y, Wang S, Zeng J, Cheng W, Li R

“…Based on the theoretical model of the Health Belief Model, five main themes and eleven sub-themes were summarized from the analysis: (a) Perceived threat of disease (Perceived severity, Perceived susceptibility); (b) Perceived benefits (Perceived sense of gain, Improved quality of life); (c) Perceived barriers (Lack of willingness to manage behavior, Insufficient intrinsic motivation, Cognitive misconceptions); (d) Low self-efficacy (Lack of confidence in responding, Negative coping style); (e) Perception of behavioral cues (Lack of external support, Perception of self-management).Conclusion: This study found an interaction between reduced threat perception and inadequate health behavior management in elderly dry eye patients, and future research is needed to develop more specific and feasible intervention programs to encourage patients to move from passive treatment to active management.Keywords: elderly, dry eye disease, health behavior, qualitative research, relevance to clinical practice…”
