This study aimed to analyze the factors (age, gender, marital status, income level, education level, access to health services, motivation, coping, self-efficacy, and family support) that affect a self-care agency in postoperative lower extremity fracture patients at RSD dr. Soebandi Jember. The research design is descriptive-analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The sample size in this study was 69 postoperative lower extremity fracture patients using a simple random sampling technique. There are two variables in this study, the dependent variable is self-care agency. The independent variables in this study are age, gender, marital status, income level, education level, access to health services, motivation, coping, self-efficacy, and family support. The results of the study with a significance technique of p < α = 0.05, showed that the majority of postoperative lower extremity fracture patients had self-care agency in the sufficient category (53,6%) and factors that significantly influenced self-care agency were age (p-value 0.033), income level (p-value 0.015), an education level (p-value 0.016), coping (p-value 0.000), and family support (p-value 0.005) with R2 = 0.583. The most dominant factor influencing self-care agency in postoperative lower extremity fracture patients at dr. Soebandi Jember Hospital is coping. Effort to improve self-care agency are important they can increase self-confidence, and independence in patients, and improve patients' quality of life. | en_US |
