Abstract Background Research on factors affecting self-care is scarce. The social factors, in particular, have not been yet investigated in Iran. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-care and social capital among women. Methods The participants were 737 women who were living in the marginal, middle and upper areas in the city of Yazd, Iran. Data were collected using a researcher-made self-care questionnaire and Harper’s (Off Natl Stat 11:2019, 2019) Social Capital Scale. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling by SPSS and Amos v24. Results The results showed that the social capital had significant positive effects on the general self-care behavior of the participants (β = 0.56, p < 0.001). It also had significant positive effects on the self-care behavior of women living in the marginal (β = 0.58), middle (β = 0.49) and upper (β = 0.62) parts of the city (p < 0.001). Besides, the women living in the marginal parts had relatively lower levels of self-care compared to those living in the middle and upper parts of the city. The examination of the fit indices indicated that the model has a good fit (CMIN/DF = 2.087, NFI = 0.921, RMSEA = 0.027, CFI = 0.956, TLI = 0.940, GFI = 0.956, IFI = 0.957). Conclusion The findings of this study demonstrated that social capital has significant positive effects on the general self-care behavior of women. Therefore, improving their self-care can be achieved through promoting their social capital.

Purpose: This descriptive investigative study was done to identify health literacy, knowledge and self-care behavior of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods: The patients were 206 adults over the age of 19 who were diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, taking anti-tuberculosis drugs and receiving care at one of the following: health centers, health center branches, public or privately affiliated hospitals in six cities nationwide. Tools used for the study were health literacy, knowledge and self-care behavior scales regarding pulmonary tuberculosis. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 21.0 to identify frequency and percentages, means and standard deviation using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple-regression analysis.Results: Health literacy in pulmonary tuberculosis patients was found to be lower for men, patients over 60, high school graduation or less, having no religion and no family members living together. For knowledge on tuberculosis, the tuberculosis symptom field was lowest, and self-care behavior was lowest for examinations and drug intake. Factors affecting self-care behavior were knowledge related to tuberculosis prevention examinations, education, health literacy, and living together with family members.Conclusion: In order to completely cure pulmonary tuberculosis and prevent recurrence, customized education is needed according to the patient’s educational background or health literacy, and assertive countermeasures are needed to enhance self-care behavior for examinations and drug intake.

Hypertension is called the "silent killer" some individuals with hypertension are not aware of this problem and may even have no warning signs or symptoms. Low self-efficacy has referred to chronic disease self-care that individuals engage in various forms of hypertension self-care behavior. This scoping review aims to determine the factors that affect self-efficacy of hypertension self-care in hypertension patients. This study used a scoping review to identify factors that influence self-efficacy on hypertension self-care in hypertensive patients. Search relevant studies using a database: CINAHL, MEDLINE, Academic Search Ultimate, Francies Taylor, Sciencedirect and Google scholar. Inclusion criteria patient with hypertension, age >40 years with a span of 2011 to 2020. Factors that influence self-efficacy are intentional non-adherence, (β=-0.02, p=0.031), low adherence to treatment (β=-0.05, p=0.017), effectiveness of doctor communication (β=0.11), p<0.001), positive beliefs about treatment (β=0.13 p<0.001), and social support (β=0.05, p<0.001). These factors serve as basic data in the development of further research in the prevention of stroke risk, with hypertension management capabilities.

Objective: Diabetic foot ulcers are an invasive complication of diabetes and are increasing. This study investigates the relationship between health beliefs and foot self-care behaviors, among people with type II diabetes. Methods: A cross-sectional design was adopted, and 98 patients were recruited from outpatient clinics of the endocrine department. The questionnaires of Demographic, Diabetes Foot Ulcer Health Belief Scale (Health Beliefs, DFUHBS), and Diabetes Foot Self-Care Behavior Scale (Self Care, DFSBS) were used to collect data. Results: Among the subjects living alone or who had diabetes less than ten years, the score of DFSBS was significantly lower than among those living with families or who had diabetes for ten years or more. The frequency of performing diabetes foot self-care behavior, among males was lower than among females significantly. Although there was no significant difference in the Health Belief total score, there were differences in the benefit subscale. Those who had junior high school level or less or had diabetes less than ten years, their score was significantly lower than those with senior high school level or more or had diabetes ten years or more. In a multivariable regression model, living with family, diabetes duration, and health beliefs explained 42.9% of the variance of diabetic-foot self-care behaviors. Conclusions: Living alone, shorter duration of diabetes, male gender, and lower health belief scores predict less adequate diabetic foot self-care behavior. Health care providers should assess these factors when designing individual care plans.

AbstractObjective: to describe self-care behavior and its associated factors in a sample of heart failure Brazilian patients.Method: descriptive cross-sectional study with non-probabilistic sample of 116 ambulatory patients undergoing heart failure treatment. Self-care was evaluated using the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index, (scores ≥70 points=appropriate self-care). Association tests were applied, considering a descriptive level of 0.05.Results: the mean age of participants was 57.7 (SD =11.3) years; 54.3% were male; the mean schooling was 5.5 (SD = 4.0) years; and 74.1% had functional class II-III. The mean scores on the subscales of the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index indicated inappropriate self-care (self-care maintenance: 53.2 (SD =14.3), selfcare management: 50.0 (SD = 20.3) and self-care confidence: 52.6 (SD=22.7)) and it was found low frequencies of participants with appropriate self-care (self-care maintenance, 6.9%), self-care management (14.7%) and self-care confidence (19%). Higher scores of the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index were associated with: reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (p=0.001), longer time of experience with the disease (p=0.05) and joint monitoring by physician and nurse (p=0.007).Conclusion: investments are needed to improve the self-care behavior and the nursing can play a relevant role in this improvement.
