“…The demographic questionnaire used in this study included items that assessed age, gender, grade, family structure, number of siblings, support system, education of parents, employment of self and parents, race, practice of religion, adequacy of income, adequacy of health insurance, adequacy of living conditions, and medical problems/disabilities. These questions were developed based on a report by Moore & Pichler (2000), who found the least measured basic conditioning factors to be pattern of living, resource availability, developmental state, environmental state, and healthcare system factors. The statistically significant relationships between these basic conditioning factors and the concepts of health-promoting self-care behaviors, self-care self-efficacy, and self-care agency are reported in this study.…”
