Abstract

 The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between the self-care agency and the health of patients with chronic illness in mature adulthood. It used a correlational research design and, as research instruments, a self-care agency questionnaire (SCAQ) and a health questionnaire (HQ). The subjects consisted of 250 individuals with chronic illness in mature adulthood. Their mean age was 56.1 years (SD=6.3 years).

 A significant relationship was found between self-care agency and health (r=.45, p<.001). Relatively strong correlations were also found between self-care agency and a sense of fulfillment on the HQ, as well as between health and the ability to manage and display interest in one's own self-care on the SCAQ. In the housewife cluster, a significant correlation between self-care agency and health was not found, but there were statistically significant differences from other clusters in terms of both self-care agency and adjustment of physical conditions.

 The relatively strong correlation between self-care agency and health indicates the importance of focusing on both self-care agency and health in the case of chronically ill patients. On the other hand, it may be presumed that the lack of a correlation between self-care agency and health in the housewife cluster is connected to unease about their condition as represented in menopausal disorders and gloom about household chores. There is a risk that this may be excessively stressed in the adjustment of the physical conditions of housewives.
