Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the levels of self-care awareness and performance and relationships
between them in liver transplantation (LT) patients.
Methods: The participants in this study were 81 outpatients who had received LT within two years at Y University Hospital. The data were collected for threemonths from August 18, to November 5, 2015. The self-care awareness and performance scale was developed by Yun (2007). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient through the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program.
Results: The average rating of self-care awareness and performance were 4.49 and 4.40 points out of a total of 6. Self-care awareness decreased over time since the LT (t=2.908, p=.040). Self-care awareness showed positive correlation with performance (r=.637, p＜.001).
Conclusion: The result indicate that LT patients'self-care performanc is essential to improving their self-care awareness. Therefore, to improve LT patients' self-care performane, health care providers need education on LT patients' self-care awareness.
