Effect of illness perception on self-regulatory fatigue in older adult patients with hypertension: chain-mediating role of self-efficacy and coping style.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: Long-term self-control becomes necessary for older adult patients with hypertension to sustain their blood pressure levels and postpone disease progression. Over extended periods, such self-control capacity among patients experiences gradual depletion, which leads to self-regulatory fatigue. Nevertheless, the connection linking disease perception, self-efficacy, coping style, and self-regulatory fatigue remains unexplored in existing studies. The present study sought to examine how disease perception, self-efficacy, and coping style relate to self-regulatory fatigue among older adult patients with hypertension. Methods: Convenience sampling method enabled the recruitment of 416 older adult patients with hypertension from the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University, Liaoning Province, for this cross-sectional survey. Multiple instruments served as measurement tools, including the general demographic questionnaire, brief illness perception questionnaire, general self-efficacy scale, medical coping modes questionnaire, and self-regulatory fatigue scale. Amos23.0 software facilitated the analysis of the mediation effect. Results: Self-regulatory fatigue receives direct positive influence from disease perception, avoidance, and acceptance-resignation, whereas self-efficacy and confrontation exert direct negative influence upon it. The impact of illness perception on self-regulatory fatigue operates via chain mediating pathways involving self-efficacy, confrontation, avoidance, and acceptance-resignation. Conclusion: The older adult patients with hypertension had higher self-regulatory fatigue level. Positive correlations emerged between self-regulatory fatigue and disease perception, avoidance, as well as acceptance-resignation; diminishing patients' negative emotions toward disease alongside enhancing their treatment confidence contributes to lowering patients' self-regulatory fatigue.
