Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was aimed at developing a reliable scale for assessing the self-care agency of cancer patients under treatment.　Items on the Self-care Agency Scale for Cancer Patients Under Treatment (SAC) were developed using a qualitative study. A convenience sample of 303 cancer patients was utilized. The fitness indices for the scale were as follows: Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) = 0.911; Adjusted GFI = 0.878. The Cronbach's α coefficient value was 0.900. The SAC was developed as a secondary factor model that included 3 factors and 15 items. The results of the evaluation from this scale correlated significantly with those of outside standards.The SAC’s construct validity, criterion validity, and reliability were all confirmed.
