“…The high score obtained from the scale indicates the high level of self-care or self-care agency and power of the individual. There are a limited number of studies that determine the self-care ability in transplant patients (Çeliktürk & Durmaz Edeer, 2019; Li et al, 2020; Zhan et al, 2015). Similarly, a study on patients with cirrhosis found the mean score of self-care agency as moderate (Kepenek, 2014).…”

Individuals with liver transplantation (LT), hopelessness, and lack of self-care may occur and change in the illness perceptions; however, no study has examined the effects of the illness perceptions on self-care agency and hopelessness levels in individuals with LT. This study was conducted to examine the effects of the illness perceptions of patients who had received LT surgery on their self-care agency and hopelessness levels. A descriptive cross-sectional study with a convenience sample ( N = 120) was conducted at a center in eastern Turkey. The data were collected by using the “Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire” (B-IPQ), “Self-Care Agency Scale” (SCAS), “Beck Hopelessness Scale” (BHS). In the study, the mean total B-IPQ, SCAS, BHS scores was found as 57.50 ± 3.61, 83.83 ± 9.43, 10.19 ± 3.81, respectively. There was a positive and significant relationship between the B-IPQ and BHS total scores.

The objective of the research was to evaluate quality of life and self-care agency among individuals with heart failure. Materials and Methods. The study sample consisted of 61 patients who were diagnosed with heart failure that occurred at least six months before we started our research, had no communication problems, were over 18 years old and were selected by random sampling method. The data were collected by the researcher using a face-to-face interview technique, a descriptive information form, the Short Form-36 Quality of Life Scale, and the Self-Care Agency Scale. In the analysis of the data, numbers, percentiles, means, the Kruskal-Wallis test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient were used. Results. The patients’ average self-care agency score was 71.75 ± 33.66. The patients received the highest score on the subscale of bodily pain (46.76 ± 31.02) and the lowest score on the subscale of role limitations due to physical health problems (19.26 ± 32.40). The patients’ age and disease duration were found to affect their self-care. Some quality-of-life subscales were affected by the educational, occupational and socioeconomic status, age, disease duration. Conclusions. Patients’ quality of life was found to be low, and the level of self-care agency was found to be moderate. Patients’ quality of life can be improved by increasing the frequency of self-care trainings given to patients.

“…In the present study on patients who received a LT, the anxiety was evaluated by State-Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI; Form I and II), depression was evaluated using the Beck Depression Scale (BDS), and the self-care was evaluated using the Self-Care Agency Scale (SCAS). All these scoring systems and scales were individually used in previous studies involving solid organ transplantation[ 17 - 19 ]. However, we have not encountered any study involving all three scales used together to evaluate a population of recipients.…”

BACKGROUND Depression, anxiety, and altered self-care ability are among the most important factors affecting the quality of life of liver transplant recipients. Depending on the severity of the underlying liver disease, signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression may become more pronounced. AIM To evaluate the factors affecting depression, anxiety and self-care abilities of liver transplant recipients. METHODS Recipients who are ≥ 18 years and who underwent liver transplantation at Inonu University Liver Transplantation Institute were included in this descriptive and cross-sectional study. Sample size analysis showed that the minimum number of recipients should be 301 (confidence level = 95%, confidence interval = 2.5, population = 1382). Three hundred and twenty recipients were interviewed and 316 recipients that have answered the questionnaires accurately were analyzed. The dependent variables were the Beck Depression Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Scale (Form I and II), and Self-Care Agency Scale. The independent variables of the study were sociodemographic characteristics, biliary complications, hepatocellular carcinoma, recommending liver transplantation to other patients, and the interval of out-patient clinic visits. RESULTS Self-care ability scores were lower ( P = 0.002) and anxiety scores were higher ( P = 0.004) in recipients with biliary complications. On the other hand, in recipients with hepatocellular carcinoma, self-care scores were lower ( P = 0.006) while depression ( P = 0.003) and anxiety scores ( P = 0.009) were higher. Liver transplantation recipients with a monthly income < 3000 Turkish liras had higher depression ( P < 0.001) and anxiety ( P = 0.003) scores. The recipients who stated that they would not recommend liver transplantation to others had lower self-care scores ( P = 0.002), higher depression ( P < 0.001), higher state anxiety ( P = 0.02), and trait anxiety ( P < 0.001) scores. CONCLUSION Presence of biliary complications and hepatocellular carcinoma, low income level, and an obligation for monthly visits to the outpatient clinic are factors that are found to affect self-care capability, depression, and anxiety.
