Abstract

This study aimed to find out an awareness of life management and the related factors among men with ischemic heart disease at the returning period. <br>At the first step, the original scale for measuring an awareness of life management was developed. The semi-structured interview for twenteen subjects with ischemic heart disease at the returning period was conducted to develop this original scale. And these data were used as the pooled-items of this scale. Those items were divided out according to the conceptual framework which was based on Strauss's theory (1984/1987) and Orem's theory (1991/1995). Then the reliability and validity of this scale was tested. Finally this scale was completed to four sub-scales and fifteen items. <br>The descriptive research design was selected. One hundred thirteen subjects were responded. Data were collected by the questionnaires which were consisted of a). an awareness of life management scale in the original version. b). self-esteem scale (10-items version). c). a self-rating depression scale (20-items version) and d). a demographic date sheet. <br>As a result, an awareness of life management among these subjects was high equally. Particularly an awareness of changing their bad life style, controlling their emotion, taking care of their body condition and managing physical power was high. These finding were supposed that these subjects were all men, at the later adulthood and at the returning period. <br>Also, the number of medicine and the medicine of anticoagulant for internal use were not a little predicted to an awareness, of life management. Other findings were as follows; a complication, a kind of therapy, their self-esteem and their state of depression were related to an awareness of life management.
