The interventions were designed to improve knowledge, skills and self-awareness in order to better equip them for self-care. The nursing theory upon which these interventions were founded was Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory.

A Correlation Of Selected Personalogical Variables And Performance Of Breast Self-Examination By Registered Nurses, Vetta Russell
A Correlation Of Selected Personalogical Variables And Performance Of Breast Self-Examination By Registered Nurses, Vetta Russell
MSN Research Projects
The American Cancer Society (1991) predicts that one out of every nine women in America will develop breast cancer. One of the recognized methods of early detection of breast cancer is breast self-examination on a regular basis. Very little research has been done to identify nurses who perform breast self-examination (BSE) or to describe those nurses. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the BSE performance of registered nurses and to describe these nurses using selected variables. The two research questions this study sought to answer were do registered nurses perform BSE and what personalogical variables are the best predictors …

The Relationship Between Perceived Control Of Health In Older Adolescents And Their Likelihood Of Engaging In Health-Promoting Behavior: A Replication, Annette Amos Williams
MSN Research Projects
This correlational study was designed to describe the relationship between perceived control of health in older adolescents between the ages of 2 0 and 21 years and the likelihood of engaging in health-promoting behaviors. This study was a replication of a study conducted by Mitchell (1987) with adolescents between the ages of 16 and 19 years. The theoretical framework for the study was predicated on Pender's Health Promotion Model (Pender & Pender, 1986) which propositions that cognitive/perceptual and modifying constituents stimulate an individual's likelihood of engaging in health-promoting behaviors. Antecedent researchers have established that cognitive/perceptual components such as locus of …
