Abstract

            The purpose of this quasi-experimental research was to examine the effects of using the perceived self-efficacy promoting program in self-care on health promoting behavior of primigravida adolescents. The research sample consisted of 40 patients who were equally assigned into either an experimental group or a control group by matching scores on a social support test. The experimental group received the perceived self-efficacy promoting program, whereas the control group received regular nursing care activities. The research instrument developed by the researcher was the perceived self-efficacy promoting program, composed of the perceived self-efficacy promoting lesson, flip chart and booklet. All instruments were reviewed for content validity by a panel of expert. In addition, instrument for collecting data were the social support test, self-efficacy test and health promoting behavior test which were tested for reliability at 0.94, 0.96, and 0.86, respectively. Data were analyzed by using t-test.


            Major findings were as follows:


  1. The health promoting behavior of primigravida adolescents in the experimental group, after using the perceived self-efficacy promoting program was significantly higher than before at the p < .01 level.

  2. The health promoting behavior of primigravida adolescents in the experimental group, after using the perceived self-efficacy promoting program was significantly higher than those who received regular nursing care activities at the p < .01 level.
