2016 JAN 1 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health &Medicine Week -- Investigators publish
new report on Mental Health. According to news reporting originating from Erzurum, Turkey, by NewsRx
correspondents, research stated, "The purpose of this study is to evaluate self-care agency and the factors
affecting self-care agency in patients with psychiatric disorders. The population of the study comprised patients
diagnosed with mental disorders at the clinics of psychiatry in Erzurum Regional Training and Research Hospital
and Ataturk University Research Hospital."
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Ataturk, "Patient information forms and
the Self-Care Agency Scale were used to collect the study data. Psychiatric nurse collected the data from the
patients face to face. This study determined that the average age of the patients was determined to be 32.19 +/-
1.11. The findings indicated that the mean self-care agency level of the patients was 79.3 +/- 23.2. It was also
found that the differences between sex, educational status, socio-economic status, and self-care agency levels
were statistically significant (p <0.05)."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "The patients' self-care agency levels were determined to
be mid-level. The findings suggest that people with mental disorders have difficulty identifying their need for self-
care. Thus, periodic training programs are necessary to increase self-care levels and further research studies of
this type should be done on larger groups."
