A causal model of relationships among self-care agency, basic prenatal care actions, foundations for dependent-care agency, and selected pregnancy outcomes was investigated. This cross-sectional correlation study was conducted on a random sample of 127 women at least 30 weeks pregnant. Path analysis was used to analyze the data. Self-care agency was significantly and directly related to basic prenatal care actions and foundations for dependent-care agency, which in turn were directly related to infant birth weight. Findings lend support to Orem's theory and offer implications for maternity nursing practice and research.
对自我护理能力、基本产前护理行为、依赖护理能力基础与选定妊娠结局之间关系的因果模型进行了研究。这项横断面相关性研究针对127名怀孕至少30周的女性随机样本进行。采用路径分析来分析数据。自我护理能力与基本产前护理行为和依赖护理能力基础显著且直接相关，而这两者又与婴儿出生体重直接相关。研究结果支持奥瑞姆理论，并为产科护理实践和研究提供了启示。
