Testing Orem's Dependent Care Agency Construct: Parents As Health Educators In The Home, Joann M. Baldwin

Ellmer School of Nursing Theses & Dissertations

The capacity of parents to act as health educators in the home is proposed as a functional piece of Orem's dependent care agency construct.

Parents' self-reported knowledge and beliefs regarding selected health topics, as well as their perceptions of ego strength and valuing health were proposed as independent factors in dependent care agency related to health education in the home. Methodology included the investigation of reliability using Cronbach's alpha and validation of the agency construct using …
