Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of self-care activity, self-care agency, and mental health for patients with chronic schizophrenia.
Methods: The subjects were 120 chronic schizophrenics living in a rural mental health care facility. Convenient samples were interviewed by the researcher and two trained nursing students using a structured questionnaire. The instruments for data collection were the Self-Care Activity Scale by Yu (1991), Mental Health Related Self-Care Agency Scale by West & Isenberg (1997), and Symptom Check List-90-Revision (SCL-90-R) by Derogatis, Rickels, & Rock (1976). The collected data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient with the SPSS/WIN program.
Results: First, the mean score of self-care activity was 3.06 ± 0.68. The highest was a dressing subscale and the lowest was a leisure time subscale. The mean score of self-care agency was 3.19 ± 0.64 and mental health was 1.99 ± 0.73. Second, the patients who practiced religion had a higher score of self-care activity. Third, there was a significant relationship among self-care activity, self-care agency, and mental health.
Conclusion: These results suggest that self-care activity can be increased in patients with chronic mental illness by increasing self-care agency and mental health. This information should be used to construct self-care activity promoting programs.
