and behaviors in osteoarthritis patients,it is difficult to diagnose,treat and manage osteoarthritis. Objective To understand
healthcare-seeking perceptions and behaviors in community-living osteoarthritis patients,providing evidence for improving
the diagnosis and treatment of such patients in the community. Methods This was a mixed-methods study. From May to June
2019,interviews for understanding osteoarthritis patients' healthcare-seeking perceptions and behavior-related factors,as well
as management were conducted with a purposive sample of five orthopedic physicians and five general practitioners(GPs) from
a general hospital in a regional healthcare consortium in Shanghai's Yangpu District,and a convenience sample of 12 GPs and
12 osteoarthritis patients from six community health centers(CHCs) in the same consortium. Then from June 2019 to December
2020,425 patients with osteoarthritis were chosen from three randomly selected CHCs of the above-mentioned six ones to attend
a survey using a quantitative questionnaire developed based on the themes derived from the above-mentioned interviews(excluding
some highly subjective and less quantifiable indicators) for understanding their socio-demographic information,disease status,
healthcare-seeking perceptions and behaviors,self-management and utilization of the APP for chronic disease management.
Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of healthcare-seeking behaviors in patients with osteoarthritis.
Results The following themes were extracted from the interviews:patients' insufficient awareness of osteoarthritis,lack of
management of osteoarthritis and influencing factors of patients' healthcare-seeking behavior. Three hundred and ninety-seven
of the 425 cases(93.4%) who effectively completed the questionnaire were included for quantitative analysis. One hundred
and fifty-two(38.3%)respondents understood osteoarthritis,and 79(52.0%)of them acquired relevant knowledge from the
media,and other 50(32.9%)from ward-mates. Two hundred(50.4%)respondents knew the treatments for osteoarthritis,
including 91(45.5%) knowing exercise and physical therapies,and 105(52.5%) knowing treatment with painkillers. The
healthcare-seeking behaviors in osteoarthritis patients varied significantly by sex,BMI,pain level,impact of pain on sleep
quality,and previous healthcare-seeking experience(P<0.05). The results of regression analysis demonstrated that sex,
BMI,pain level,previous treatment experience and impact of pain on sleep quality were associated with healthcare-seeking
behavior(P<0.05). Conclusion Community-living patients with osteoarthritis had insufficient awareness of healthcare-
seeking and weak self-management awareness,and their healthcare-seeking behaviors were affected by multiple factors. To
improve these patients' healthcare-seeking perceptions and behaviors,priority should be given to take actions to enhance patients'
healthcare-seeking perceptions,train patients' self-management ability,better GPs' diagnostic and therapeutic skills,improve
doctors and patients' negative attitude toward osteoarthritis treatment,and promote patients seeking healthcare actively.
