Study on Nursing Practices to Improve the Self-care Agency of Patients with Chronic Illness

采用自理能力问卷(SCAQ-30)和相应的使用手册，对提高慢性病患者自理能力的护理实践进行了研究。在实践中发现，护士和患者在看SCAQ的同时，花时间相互讨论，并通过这些讨论实现了对患者生活的反思。护士们意识到了病人的力量，并通过与病人一起观察他们自己有能力做什么来给出具体的建议。在慢性病患者中，这些练习导致SCAQ得分显著升高(p&lt；0.05)。这种护理做法被认为是加强这些患者自我护理能力的支持措施之一。

Nursing practices for patients with chronic illness to improve their self-care agency, utilizing a Self-care Agency Questionnaire (SCAQ-30) and corresponding user's manual, were examined. It was found that in the practices, the nurses and patients took the time to discuss the matter with each other while taking a look at the SCAQ, and through these discussions "reflections on the patient's living" was achieved. The nurses became aware of the strengths of the patient and gave specific advice by looking together with the patients for what they are capable of doing for themselves. The practices resulted in significantly higher SCAQ scores (p<0.05) among the patients who suffer from chronic diseases. It was considered that such nursing practices are one of the support measures enhancing the self-care agency of these patients.
