Research Abstract

The purpose of this research was to develop two evaluation scales based on the Orem-Underwood Self-care Theory. One is a "Self-care Assessment Tool" for psychiatric nurses who assess the self-care abilities of patients with mental disorder in daily life activities, and another one is a "Self-care Self-assessment Sheet(Questionnaire)" for evaluating the daily life activities by patients with mental disorder themselves. These evaluation scales were developed following meetings and discussions by mental health nurse researchers/educators and clinical psychiatric nurse experts.
