“…Researchers have found that a significant number of patients fail to adapt their lifestyles to prevent worsening of their heart disease following PCI [32]. Drawing from previous research, questions were asked to assess the participants' understanding of their heart disease, intention to participate in cardiac rehabilitation, and awareness of available resources [33][34][35][36][37].…”

Background: The demand for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) exerts constant pressure on health care systems to meet the growing needs of patients. The practice of same-day discharge PCI has emerged as a medically safe option to optimize resource utilization and improve access to care. Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe elective same-day discharge PCI patients' self-care behaviour in the two to five days following their procedure, and the factors associated with cardiac self-efficacy (CSE) and self-care agency (SCA). Methods: Using a cross-sectional correlational design, 98 consecutive patients were contacted by telephone, following PCI, and asked about their CSE, SCA, and adherence to discharge recommendations. Associations between selected variables were explored through multiple regression analysis. Results: The findings revealed a high degree of adherence to discharge recommendations, although participants' appreciation of the long term management of their chronic disease was limited. Factors associated with lower levels of CSE and SCA included the burden of having additional chronic co-morbidities, living alone and lacking social support, and a positive screening for psychosocial distress. Conclusion: Same-day discharge PCI presents a sustainable option for delivery of care for most patients. Some clients may require additional support to manage the transition between acute intervention and chronic disease management. Crown

“…Apparently the operability of the self-care agency of the patients varied among individuals. Lukkarinen and Hentinen (1997) C C N N self-care agency of a group of patients with coronary heart disease using the Self-as-Carer Inventory (SCI) and they used the distribution scores of the patients on the SCI for the categorisation of good, moderate and poor selfagency. For this study a similar approach to categorise the levels of self-care agency was used.…”

This paper reports results of tests of Orem's Self-Care Agency and Basic Conditioning Factors in a Chinese community undergoing haemodialysis measured by the modified Chinese version of the ASA scale. Eighty-six patients from one major city of China, Tianjin, all of whom had end stage renal disease and were undergoing haemodialysis formed the sample of the study. The research instrument employed in the study was the modified version of the Appraisal of Self-care Agency Scale, developed for use with patients undergoing haemodialysis. The levels of self-care agency of the patients were identified with respect to the findings of the study. The relationships between the self-care agency and basic conditioning factors were investigated by the use of Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficients and the relationships were statistically supported by the findings of this research.

“…While self‐care emerges as an important concept within the review, nursing support for self‐care is a prominent sub‐theme in the papers regardless of the theoretical framework used in the study. Lukkarinen & Hentinen (1997) found that self‐care in their study was correlated with many factors: age, sex, socioeconomic status, employment status and health behaviours (alcohol use and smoking). Older people were more motivated towards self‐care.…”
