Abstract

Social determinants of health (SDH) are known to influence health. Adequate self-care maintenance improves heart failure (HF) outcomes. However, the relationship between self-care maintenance and SDH remains unclear. Explore the relationship between sociodemographic indicators of social position and self-care maintenance in adults with HF. This was a secondary analysis of data from a cross-sectional descriptive study of 543 adults with HF. Participants completed the Self-Care of HF Index and a sociodemographic survey. We used multiple regression with backward elimination to determine which SDH variables were determinants of self-care maintenance. Marital status ( p  = .02) and race ( p  = .02) were significant determinants of self-care maintenance. Education ( p  = .06) was highest in Whites (35.6%). These variables explained only 3.8% of the variance in self-care maintenance. Race, education, and marital status were associated with HF self-care maintenance. SDH is complex and cannot be explained with simple sociodemographic characteristics.
