Abstract

The number of patients with chronic renal failure is increasing every year. Various therapeutic treatments that must be undertaken and the risk if not doing treatment can cause stress for patients. Patients with chronic renal failure are required to comply with doctor's advice and can develop confidence that they will be healthy or in other words have health beliefs. One factor that contributes to one's health beliefs is social support. The purpose of this research was to determine the contribution of social support to health belief in patients with chronic renal failure. The design of this research is quantitative correlational, with a purposive sampling technique. The sample of this research were 100 patients with chronic renal failure. Social support was measured with 36 valid items and the reliability coefficient (α) = 0.920 and the health belief were measured with 25 items and the reliability coefficient (α) = 0.848. The results showed that social support had a positive significant influence on health belief with a sig (p) = 0,000 (p <0.05). Social support contributed 16.4% to health belief. Patients with chronic renal failure had more negative health beliefs (51%). Male patients have higher health beliefs than females.
