Abstract

Abstract:

Caregivers for chronic disease patients of caregiver activation emphasizes the subjective initiative and preparedness of caregivers in managing patients’ health conditions and medical needs. Caregivers with high activation levels can participate more effectively in disease management，significantly improve the quality of care，and have a positive impact on their own mental health and quality of life. This article reviews the concept，assessment tools，current situation，influencing factors，and intervention strategies of caregiver activation，and proposes future research directions，aiming to provide references for conducting research and practical exploration related to caregiver activation.

Key words: Caregiver, Patient, Activation, Review, Nursing Care

摘要：

慢性病患者照护者照护积极度强调照护者在管理患者健康状况和医疗需求时的主观能动性和准备程度。照护积极度高的照护者能够更有效地参与患者疾病管理，提升照护质量，同时对其自身心理健康及生活质量产生积极影响。该文围绕慢性病患者照护者照护积极度的概念和内涵、测量工具、现状、影响因素及提升策略进行综述，并提出对护理的启示，旨在为开展照护者照护积极度相关研究及实践探索提供参考。
