摘要：Objective: To investigate the health value and self-care capabilities of the elderly living in urban-rural fringe area nursing homes and the factors that influence these variables. <br> Methods: A cluster sampling method was used to select 280 elderly individuals from seven urban-rural fringe communities in Xianning to complete a survey regarding their health value and self-care capabilities. <br> Results: The total health value and self-care capability scores of the elderly were 7.45 ± 1.45 and 100.25 ± 22.56, respectively. Both of these scores significantly differed by age, education level, marital status, and income (P<0.05, P<0.01). Self-care capability was correlated with health value (r ? 0.521). A multivariate linear regression analysis showed that health value, marital status, and age predicted self-care capability. <br> Conclusions: Elderly people living in the urban-rural fringe area with higher health values also had higher self-care capabilities. The self-care capabilities of the elderly can be enhanced by improving their health value using the“knowing-trusting-acting”model.
