Resumen

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to assess the factors associated with self-care agency in postpercutaneous coronary intervention patients. BACKGROUND: Patients after percutaneous coronary intervention need to perform self-care to reduce the side effects and increase the quality of life. Self-care agency is considered to be an important factor in guaranteeing self-care actions. DESIGN: In this descriptive study a total number of 300 postpercutaneous coronary intervention patients participated. Data were collected from the four hospitals affiliated with Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Iran between February-May 2015. METHODS: The data were gathered using demographic and basic conditioning factors questionnaire and appraisal of self-care agency scale. Data analysis was performed by anova and t-test. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 62·10 ± (8·14), which included 52·7% men and 47·3% women. Most patients (72%) had good level of self-care agency. Self-care agency had higher level in married and higher income patients. CONCLUSION: Self-care agency is influenced by economic and marital situation. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Identifying factors associated with self-care agency can help healthcare professionals to consider these factors in self-care planning.
