SELF-CARE NEEDS IN PATIENTS WITH PHYSICAL IMMOBILIZATION
ABSTRACT: The quantity of
unfulfilment of self-care in patients with physical immobilisation can decrease
the quality indicator of nursing care. Self-care for physically immobilised
patients is affected by basic condition factors. The study aimed to analyse the
factors that can affect the fulfilment of self-care needs in patients with
physical immobilisation. Methods: The study design was descriptive
cross-sectional, with purposive sampling technique and the samples were 36
nurses and 36 physically immobilised patients. The independent variable was the
fulfilment of self-care needs. Dependent variables were patient demography
(age, sex), nurse (knowledge, action, motivation), and health care factors
(occupation design/nursing care method). The instrument used was a questionnaire
and observation form. Data were then analysed using double linear regression
analysis, with significance ɑ ≤ 0.05. Results: From the double linear
regression test result was obtained p-value (Sig) = 0.000 R Square = 0.889.
Partially it was obtained p-value of age p(sig)=0,005, sex p(Sig)=0.038,
knowledge p(Sig)=0.889, action p(Sig)= 0.000, and motivation p(Sig)=0.003.
Conclusion: Factors of patients (age, sex) and nurses (action, motivation)
influence the fulfilment of self-care needs for patients with physical
immobilisation. However, nurses’ knowledge does not have any influence. The
study result can be considered as input for nurses in developing the quality of
nursing care in the fulfilment of self-care needs.
