Abstract:
Purpose:The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of basic psychological needs and support of health professionals on the self care agency of inpatients with schizophrenia.
Methods:This descriptive correlational study was based on the basic psychological needs theory, a sub-theory of the self-determination theory (SDT). Participants were 172 inpatients with schizophrenia from four mental hospitals in two areas. Data were collected from self-report questionnaires administered June-September 2019. Data were analyzed using the t-test, one-way ANOVAs with Scheffé’s test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, multiple regression and PROCESS macro mediation analysis with IBM SPSS 22.0.
Results:Basic psychological needs and support of health professionals showed a positive correlation with the self care agency. The results of the regression indicate the basic psychological needs and support of health professionals were predictors of self care agency.
Conclusion:The results suggest that basic psychological needs and support of health professionals are needed to improve the self care agency of inpatients with schizophrenia. Thus, the mental nursing practice needs a program for improving the self-care agency of inpatients with schizophrenia.
