Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between self-care behavior of patients with myocardial infarctions and the ability to learn oneself. One hundred and one patients with myocardial infarctions (88 men and 13 women) participated in present study, we used a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of self-care behavior, the ability to learn oneself, cognition, and emotion variables. The findings were as follows: By analysis of the group axis method, the scale of the ability to learn oneself and the cognitive scale consisted of one factor. By analysis of the multiple correlation method, five predictable variables showed significant β-weights (R=.735, p<.01). These variables were the hardship of stopping smoking and a limitation on the consumption of alcohol, feeling terrible taste of dietary food, difficulty in suppressing anger, trouble measuring blood pressure and pulse rate, and the ability to learn oneself. Higher positive feelings were correlated to self-care behavior (r=.61, p<.01). Patients with a higher score for the ability to learn oneself was correlated to self-care behavior (r=.41, p<.01). Also patients with a higher score for the ability to learn oneself and suppressed anger (r=.20, p<.05).
