Self-regulation management is the process of controlling and monitoring one's behavior to achieve specific health goals involving physical, cognitive, motivational, and social factors. In coronary heart disease (CHD) patients, self-regulation is essential for symptom management and improving quality of life. This study aimed to describe and analyze the pain index, lipid profile levels (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides), and quality of life, while identifying which indicators significantly represent the self-regulation construct. A cross-sectional quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 195 CHD patients at Jombang Public Hospital. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and laboratory tests. A one-tailed independent T-test was used to assess the significance of self-regulation indicators, comparing the T-statistic values of the measurement model with a T-table value of 1.65 (df = 194, α = 0.05). The results showed that only self-monitoring, self-diagnosis, and pain level had T-statistics exceeding 1.65, indicating a significant effect on the self-regulation construct. Recurrence and total cholesterol did not show a significant influence. Pain levels were lower in the treatment group (mean = 1.85, adjusted to 2 – moderate pain) compared to the control group (mean = 2.75, adjusted to 3 – severe pain). These findings suggest that targeted interventions enhancing self-monitoring and self-diagnosis may reduce perceived pain and strengthen self-regulation in CHD patients. These indicators should be prioritized in future intervention models for managing coronary heart disease.
