This study was conducted to identify the characteristics of pain, self-esteem, perceived health status, and self-efficacy and its influencing factors in patients with chronic arthritis. The data were obtained from 104 patients with chronic arthritis registered in one university hospital in Seoul, from May to August, 2000. For analysing the data, SAS program was used for t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. The results were as follows: 1. The variables which showed significant difference with pain were sex, number of painful joints. 2. The variables which showed significant difference with perceived health status were age, diagnosis. number of painful joints. 3. The variables which showed significant difference with self-efficacy were duration of disease, number of painful joints. quality of sleeping. 4. Moderate negative correlation were observed between pain and perceived health status, self-efficacy, and low positive correlation was observed between self-esteem and perceived health status. Also self-esteem revealed moderate positive correlation with self-efficacy, and moderate positive correlation was observed perceived health status and self-efficacy. 5. The predictors to explain self-efficacy were number of painful joints, self-esteem, duration of disease, duration of exercise and pain. These predictors explained $36.05\%$ of variance of self-efficacy. In conclusion, the nursing intervention to improve self-efficacy for chronic arthritis patients focused not only physiological symptoms such as pain. but also psychosocial factors such as self-esteem.

The Purpose of this study is to develop and test a nursing model which can be applied to prediction of the quality of life for the patient receiving hemodialysis. A hypothetical model was constructed on Johns & Meleis's empowerment model framework which has 3 contsructs(stress, resource, empowerment). 6 Factors(perceived stress, self-esteem as personal resource, perceived social support as social resource, perceived fertigue, perceived health status & self efficacy as empowerment) were selected to pre dict the quality of life of receiving hemodialysis patients. 4 Factors(self-esteem, perceived social support, perceived health status & self efficacy) had direct effects on the quality of life significantly. Self-esteem had indirect effect on the quality of life via perceived heath status significantly. Perceived social support had indirect effect on the quality of life via self-effcacy significantly. Perceived stress had no direct and indirect effect on the quality of life significantly. Revised model from hypothetical model showed better fit to the data by eliminating unsignificant path. From results of this study we suggest that to improve quality of life of hemodialysis patient nurses provide nursing interventions which improve self-esteem, perceived social support, self-efficacy & perceived health status.

Results: The scale mean scores (4 scale) for perceived health status, self-esteem, extraversion, neuroticism, psychoticism, and lie, the last four being the types of personality covered in the study, were $2.27{\pm}0.37$, $2.27{\pm}0.31$, $2.13{\pm}0.33$, $2.55{\pm}0.41$, $2.36{\pm}0.27$, and $2.20{\pm}0.34$, respectively. The variables that showed positive correlations with perceived health status were self-esteem and extraversion and the ones that showed negative correlations with perceived health status were neuroticism, psychoticism, and lie. Self-esteem, extraversion, and neuroticism were proved to be major influencing factors affecting perceived health status.
