Purpose/Objectives:The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the relationship between self-care agency and quality of life (QOL) in cancer patients undergoing outpatient chemotherapy. Design:The study used a correlational research design with cancer patients undergoing outpatient chemotherapy at a medical facility. Methods: The subjects of the study were cancer patients from Facility A undergoing outpatient chemotherapy. A self-report survey form was distributed to subjects and responses were returned by mail. The main variables of interest consisted of(1)Honjo’s(2001)SCAQ to test chronic patients’self-care agency and(2)Cella’s(1993)FACT-G for QOL. Findings:The average age of subjects was 58.4,and the leading cancer types were breast cancer(38%)and lymphoma malignum(20%). The mean score(±SD)for each scale was 124.02±13.56 on the SCAQ and 72.91± 17.04 on the FACT-G. A significant correlation was found between the scores on these two scales(r=.245,p .05). Conclusions:People with greater self-care agency have a higher level of QOL. The results suggest the importance of nurses’support in helping to cultivate patients’self-care agency.
