The purpose of this study is to examine the predictors and variances explained of the Self-care Agency and the factors. The subjects were 280 junior and senior students at a university in Kwang ju city and the period for data collection was from June 15 to July 7, 1990.
The instrument used was Exercise of Self-care Agency scale which was developed by Kearney & Fleischer (1979) and validated by So & Lee (1989). It came to be a modified tool that is composed of 34 items.
The data were analyzed by X2-test, T-test, ANOVA and Scheffe test, Pearson´s correlation and Stepwise multiple regression of SAS program.
The results are summarized as follows:
1. The relations between Internal Health Locus of Control score, modified CMI, and Family Environmental Scale score and ESCA score were significant (r= .467, p= .0001: r= -.344, p= .0001: r= .394, p= .0001).
2. In analysis of the predictors and their variances explained of ESCA score, the Internal Health Locus of Control score predicted 21.8 % of ESCA score (F= 53.34, p= .0001), Family Environmental Scale score did 8.3 % (F= 22.59, p= .0001), and modified CMI did 5.4 % (F= 15.74, p= .0001).
3. In analysis of the predictors and their variances explained of the factors of ESCA, the independent variables predicted 31.3 % of Self-Concept factor, 22.1 % of Decision-making and Responsibility factor, respectively 17 % of Health Knowledge and concern, Information-seeking behavior, and Self-esteem factors, and 14 % of Passivity factor.
