The authors in this study explored the relationship between self-care agency and quality of life in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. A convenience sample of 157 patients was interviewed. The levels of both self-care agency and quality of life were close to the mean. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated that quality of life was positively correlated with self-care agency and the self-care subgroups of abilities, responsibility, esteem, and evaluation. Improved self-care agency and the four subscale items could enhance quality of life. Intervention programs for benign prostatic hyperplasia patients must emphasize self-care agency so as to improve their health behavior and quality of life.

Objective: We investigated the relationship between postpartum psychiatric episodes and subsequent family planning. Our hypothesis was that women who had a postpartum illness would plan to have fewer children. Method: We conducted a mail survey of members of the self-help group Depression After Delivery (DAD). The membership was asked about changes in family planning after a postpartum illness. Two groups were defined: women who took action to prevent further pregnancies after the illness (CHANGE) and women who did not take action to prevent future pregnancies (NO CHANGE). Results: Among respondents 32 percent changed their family plans after suffering a postpartum illness. Fear of recurrence, effects on the family, treatment costs and severity of the episode manifested by suicide or infanticide attempt, hospitalization, and prescribed medication were reasons given for altering plans. Conclusions: The postpartum illness dramatically changed some women's reproductive plans. Prevention strategies for these illnesses need to be addressed when women are making decisions about having other children.
