The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with self-care performance in hemodialysis patients based on the unpleasant symptom theory. Data were collected from 237 patients at five hemodialysis clinics in Seoul from March to April 2018. The results were evaluated by the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. As a result, Self-care performance was positively correlated with hope, family support and medical support, but negatively correlated with emotional symptom experience and physical symptom experience. In multiple step regression analysis, family support, emotional symptom, and hope were independently associated with self-care performance, and the regression model explained 33.2% of the variances predicting self-care performance. The independent factors associated with self-care performance were family support, emotional symptom, and hope. Therefore, self-care performance may be improved by applying the hope program for the patient and the family.

The study was done to identify factors influencing self-care in tuberculosis (here in after TB) patients. Data were collected by questionnaires from 216 TB chemotherapy as outpatients by visiting a "M" TB hospital located in the C city. Measures were self-care, health-belief(susceptibility and severity, benefit, barrier), and family support. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis with the SPSS/WIN 19.0 version. The subjects' self-care score 3.76 out of 5. There were significant differences in self-care among the subjects due to gender, marital status, family structure with the subjects, average monthly income, smoking status, drinking status and period of taking TB drugs. There were significant correlations among benefit, barrier, family support, and self-care. According to the research, influencing factors on self-care in TB patients included family support, barrier, average monthly income, smoking status, and benefit. Findings from this study can be used as basic data to develop self-care programs for TB patients.

This study attempted to investigate the effect of 'RolyPoly 160' on the self-care of diabetes in the community. The experimental group was 60 diabetes living in estern region, G-Metropolitan City, and 'RolyPoly 160' was used more than 5 times a week within 5-10 minutes for 12 weeks. The control group was a resident in the western region, and once received a group lecture in the beginning of the experiment, The study period was from July 1 to September 20, 2019. Self-care tests were conducted before and after the study. The collected data was analyzed with frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test and cross-tabulation analysis. In the experimental group, drug therapy, foot care, exercise therapy, and diet self-care were statistically significantly increased than before the experiment. Therefore 'RolyPoly 160' can be used as a nursing intervention program to help diabetic patients perform self-care in the future.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of education for hemodialysis patient with a family caregiver on self-care practice and on blood biochemical parameters. A nonequivalent control group pretest and posttest design has been employed for analysis. Among hemodialysis patients in C university hospital located in Daegu, 56 subjects, 28 in experimental and 28 in control group, participated in the study from April to May in 2015. The experimental group whose family caregiver participated in education for hemodialysis patient reported significant differences in self-care practice (t=3.36, p=.001) and serum potassium level (t=2.78, p=.007) from the control group whose family caregiver did not participate. Considering positive effects of family education, we suggest education programs incorporating family caregivers be used as an effective nursing intervention.

The purpose of this study was to identify the influencing factors on the breast self-examination performance among nursing students. The data collection period was from April 12 to April 26, 2021. Data was gathered from 240 nursing students by using a structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficients and a stepwise regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. As the result of this study, the factors influencing breast self-examination perfomance were found to be breast self-examination and dietary habits with the explanatory power of these variables being 14.2%(F=19.53, 𝜌<.001). Based on this study, further study may be needed to evaluate the dietary habits of nursing students so that they can practice proper eating behavior. In addition, to maximize the educational effect, there may need to be a development of programs aimed to prevent breast cancer among nursing students.

This study was conducted to investigate whether an individualized cancer patient education would increase self-care knowledge and performance. Eventually, it was to reduce side effect and promote self-care for chemotherapy. Method: This study utilized a nonequivalent control group pre-post test design. The subjects included 50 patients with cancer 25 in the experimental group, and 25 in the control group. The study was performed from January 2006 to June 2006 for the patients who were first treated by chemotherapy in a university hospital. Results: Individualized education was significantly increased in self-care knowledge and performance. Self-care knowledge and performance showed significant correlations as well.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of structured information provided on self care knowledge, self care performance, and functional status. Method: The data were collected using self care knowledge and performance assessment tool, and functional status assessment tool from both group hospitalized patients at D hospital in Busan. Results: There was a significant improvement(p=.032) in self care knowledge in experimental group compared to the control group. But there were not improvement in self care performance and functional status in experimental group compared to the control group. But comparing to pretest and posttest in experimental group, There were significant improvement in self care performance (p=.003) and functional status(p=.013). Conclusion: Structured information provided showed increased in the degree of knowledge, self care performance, and functional status. But the effect size of program which had been developed in this study was estimated small, so there is needed to modify this program and to research repeatedly.

The aims of this study are to identify levels of diabetes self-care activities and find associated factors of the elderly with Type 2 diabetes. The participants for this study were 264 elderly Koreans over 65 years old who visited one general hospital in S city in South Korea for their medical treatment. In the results, there are few statistically significant differences in general characteristics and disease related variables according with diabetes self-care activities (DSCA). DSCA showed negative correlation with depression (r=-.278, p=.033) and positive correlation with ADLs(r=.310, p=.013)and IADLs(r=.415, p=.001). Therefore, the findings of this study suggest implementing self-care activities to the elderly with diabetes based on their psychological factors (depression) and functional capacities (ADL and IADL). In addition, the advanced research will be needed for developing tailored nursing educations and interventions to improve diabetes self-care activities of elderly patients.

This study was done to identify the effects of self-monitoring method using smartphone video on self-directed learning ability, competency in nursing skills self-confidence and practice satisfaction of nursing students. It was designed a quasi-experimental study with a pre-post test. The participants were 54 students in the experimental group and 51 students in the control group. There was no significant difference in self-directed learning ability (p = .450) between the groups, but there was a significant difference between the pre-post scores of the experimental group. There was no significants difference of competency in nursing skills, self-confidence and practice satisfaction between the two groups. In conclusion, the self-assessment learning method using smartphone video during the self-practice is considered to be an effective method to improve the self-directed learning ability and to ensure the accuracy and skill of the technique.
