The purpose of this study was to examine, within a theoretical framework derived from Orem's conceptual model of nursing, whether self-care can be predicted jointly by social support and the selected basic conditioning factors of age, marital and socioeconomic status, living arrangements, and stage and site of cancer. A convenience sample of 112 adult cervical and head/neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy was obtained from radiotherapy outpatient clinics in three hospitals located in Bangkok, Thailand. Multiple regression was used to analyze the data. Socioeconomic status and social support were significant predictors of self-care, whereas stage and site of cancer seemed to predict self-care indirectly through social support. The findings are discussed in terms of the validity of Orem's self-care model. Implications for practice and further study are explored.
本研究的目的是，在源自奥瑞姆护理概念模型的理论框架内，检验社会支持以及所选定的年龄、婚姻和社会经济状况、居住安排、癌症分期及部位等基本调节因素能否共同预测自我护理。我们从泰国曼谷三家医院的放疗门诊获取了112名接受放疗的成年宫颈癌及头颈癌患者的便利样本。采用多元回归分析数据。社会经济状况和社会支持是自我护理的重要预测因素，而癌症分期及部位似乎是通过社会支持间接预测自我护理。依据奥瑞姆自我护理模型的有效性对研究结果进行了讨论。探讨了对实践和进一步研究的启示。
