Rural residents with HF encounter more challenges with adherence to self-care than their urban counterparts because of rural-urban inequalities related to socioeconomic resources and access to health care. To date, investigators have focused on self-care in HF patients in urban settings, although factors related to self-care may be different between rural and urban residents.The aim of this study was to explore the variables related to self-care in HF patients living in rural areas.A total of 580 patients in the USA were included in this analysis. We included 12 variables reflecting four aspects that affect patients' decisions to perform self-care: health literacy, psychosocial status, current symptom status, and aging status. We measured self-care using the European Heart Failure Self-Care Scale-9.Depressive symptoms (β = 0.28, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.16 to 0.45), lower perceived control (β = -0.15, 95% CI: -0.32 to -0.08), better symptom status (β = -0.11, 95% CI: -0.13 to -0.003), and annual income of |
