Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a program for increasing self-care with activities of daily living among the elderly living at home. Methods: The study adopted a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The number of participants were 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. Participants were persons aged 65 years and above in Busan. The experimental group was provided with for 16 different types of self-care behaviors by family nurses who made weekly home visits to these participants. Each visit lasted for more than 30 minutes, and the visits were conducted for 12 weeks. The research instrument used in this study was a scale developed by Shimanouchi et al. (2003) which assessed self-care behavior, activities of daily living, and depression. Results: The experimental group showed an increase in self-care behavior compared to the control group. Time and group variables were also found to have an interaction effect on the daily living activity level. The experimental group showed an increase in the activities of daily living compared to the control group. Depression scores dropped from 9.4 to 5.8 in the experimental group and from 8.6 to 7.0 in the control group. Conclusion: We found that the self-care behavior program improved the levels of independence and activities of daily living among the elderly living at home.
