Summary
This study introduced the Self-Care Self-Efficacy Enhancement Program (SCSEEP) to improve elder self-care. Pilot results showed significant improvements in daily living activities for nursing home residents.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Nursing
- Psychology
Background:
- Chinese elders often reside in nursing homes, necessitating culturally relevant care models.
- Self-care ability is crucial for maintaining independence and quality of life in elderly populations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce the Self-Care Self-Efficacy Enhancement Program (SCSEEP), grounded in Social Cognitive Theory (SCT).
- To enhance self-care abilities among Chinese elders residing in nursing homes.
Main Methods:
- A pilot study was conducted with 42 elders in two Taiwanese nursing homes.
- The intervention program, SCSEEP, focused on improving perceived self-efficacy.
Main Results:
- Residents in the treatment group demonstrated significant improvements in basic activities of daily living.
- The SCSEEP intervention showed positive effects on self-care performance.
Conclusions:
- The SCSEEP is a promising theory-based intervention for improving self-care in Chinese nursing home elders.
- This model has potential application for Chinese Americans in US nursing homes.

Restorative Care
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Patient-centered Care
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem: self-efficacy,...
Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
