“…This tool has been used and validated in several countries, including The Netherlands 14,17 , Norway 18 , Switzerland 19 , México 20 and Hong Kong 21 . Despite its widespread use, some authors have shown that the original version has a complex factor structure which may compromise the tool's construct validity.…”

This study presents the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Appraisal of Self-Care Agency Scale - Revised (ASAS-R). The sample was made up of 627 subjects (69.8% women) aged between 18 and 88 years (mean = 38.3; SD = 13.26) from 17 Brazilian states. Exploratory factor analysis of part of the sample (n1 = 200) yielded a three-factor solution which showed adequate levels of reliability. Two confirmatory factor analyses of the other part of the sample (n2 = 427) tested both the exploratory and the original model. The analysis of convergent validity using the Subjective Happiness Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey Version 2 (SF-36v2) demonstrated adequate levels of validity. A significant correlation was found between levels of self-care agency and age, level of education and income. The analysis of sample members with chronic disease (n = 134) showed that higher levels of self-care agency indicated lower levels of negative impact of the chronic illness in the individual's everyday life.

“…A plethora of research studies has been conducted in the United States and in some European and Asian countries, for example, Finland, Norway, Holland, Germany, Philippine and Thailand (Whetstone, 1987;Lorensen et al, 1993;Lukkarinen & Hentinen, 1997) to evaluate the application of Orem's model in the nursing practice. It is evident that Orem's self-care framework presents a substantial contribution to nursing knowledge with particular relevance to the real world of nursing.…”

Published reports on the use of the Appraisal of Self-care Agency (ASA) Scale among Chinese people are scarce, the procedure of testing the ASA Scale is thus necessary before it is used clinically on Chinese population. The objective of this study was to test the validity and reliability of the ASA Scale on the Chinese population. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were adopted in testing the Scale. A panel of 4 experts was invited to examine the content of the Scale and 128 elderly peoplefrom 3 elderly centers in Hong Kong were employed to examine its construct validity. Item analysis was conducted using Cronbach's Alpha coefficient to examine the reliability of the Scale. Content validity index of 0.88 was achieved resultingfrom the assessment of the 4 experts. Sevenfactors were extracted from the factor analysis representing approximately 70% of variance. The reliability coefficient for the entire Scale was 0.72. It was evident that the ASA Scale was a valid and reliable research instrumer that can be used in the Chinese communities.

“…Mobilization of elders' self-care resources can minimize their health problems and enhance health and well-being even if they are suffering from chronic disease, cognitive impairment and functional limitation [12,13]. It can help the elders become competent participants and managers of their own health conditions, and it can help them stay in their own home [7,13]. Therefore, self-care is important in chronic care which goals are not to cure but to enhance functional status, minimize distressing symptoms, prolong life through secondary prevention and enhance quality of life [14].…”
