“…The findings indicated that those who participated in the educational program had fewer hospital admissions, shorter lengths of stay in hospitals, and longer lengths of stay in the community. Stockdale-Woolley (1984) tested the effects of education on the self-care agency of 25 patients with COPD. Self-care agency scores were si@cantly greater after the classes than they were before.…”

The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to determine the effects of a nurse-directed self-management program on dyspnea and self-efficacy levels in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The Health Belief Model and the Theory of Self-Efficacy provided the theoretical framework for the study. The sample included 10 COPD patients from rural North Carolina who attended a 6-week nurse-directed self-management program. Dyspnea and self-efficacy were measured before and after the program by using a vertical visual analogue scale for dyspnea and the COPD Self-Efficacy Scale. A single-group quasi-experimental design that incorporated a pretest and a posttest was used. Paired t tests were used to compare the pretest and the posttest levels of dyspnea and self-efficacy. The findings revealed no significant change in levels of dyspnea after the program. Levels of self-efficacy, however, were found to have increased at a statistically significant level (p < .001) following the program. This study indicates that using a group teaching method to teach self-management skills improved self-efficacy levels.

“…The authors concluded that they had a valid and reliable instrument to measure exercise of self-care agency. The instrument was used previously in a clinical study of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, where reliability was 0.92 for internal consistency [16]. McBride [24] tested construct validity and re-liability of the instrument with 62 nursing students and 57 adult diabetic patients.…”

"sing a framework based on Orem's self-care deficit theory, five hypotheses related to conditioning factors in self-care agency were tested. The study sample consisted of 60 outpatients with a diagnosis of rheu niatoid arthritis in a large research hospital. Patients completed the Exercise of Self-care Agency instrument and the Health Assessment Questionnaire; a physkian rated their arthritis severity. Twenty percent of subjects had high scores on self-care agency, 63% had average scores, and 16% had low scores. ?'he conditioning factor of age was not related to selfcare ugency. However, education and the duration of ijlness were related to self-care agency in this group of persons with rheumatoid arthritis.

“…Number 3· MaylJun 1993 ney and Fleischer (1979) originally established the construct validity of the instrumentby comparing ESCA to items of the Adjective Check List (Gough & Heilbrun, 1965). The internal consistencyof the ESCA instrument was evaluatedby administering the scale to nursing and psychology students and the reliability coefficient ranged from .77 to .80 (Kearney & Fleischer, 1979).Test-retest reliability of the instrument was .77 for 76 nursing students (Kearney & Fleischer, 1979)and reliability ranged from .79 to .94 in a sample of chronically ill individuals (Stockdale-Woolley, 1984). Riesch and Hauck (1988) further validated the four factors of ESCAwiththree distinctsamples: pregnantwomenand their labor coaches (n = 100); healthy adolescents (n =110); and universityfaculty, staff, and students (n =296).…”

“…Researchers have begun to identify interventions that enhance the self-care ability ofchronically ill individuals (Beckie, 1989;Goeppinger, Arthur, Baglioni, Brunk, & Brunner, 1989;Huss, Salerno, & Huss, 1991;Maes & Schlosser, 1988;Perry, 1981;Rubin, Peyrot, & Saudek, 1989;Stockdale-Woolley, 1984;Winkler, Underwood, Fatovich, James, & Gray, 1989). In these studies, education formed the major component of the intervention, and the education-except in the study conducted by Beckie (1989)-was not individualized to each participant's personal situation.…”

The purpose of this study was to test the effects of an individually focused, guided decision-making intervention on individuals' perception of self-care ability following a stroke. A convenience sample of 68 individuals participating in four stroke rehabilitation programs in southeast Florida participated in the study. A quasi-experimental design using a pretest and a posttest was implemented. Findings indicated the potential effectiveness of this intervention in significantly increasing individuals' perceptions of their self-care ability after a stroke. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
