Objective: Heart transplant patients must maintain their self-care at the highest level and take responsibility for their own treatment and care. The study determined the self-care agency of heart transplant patients and associated factors. Material and Methods: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study universe consisted of 117 patients over the age of 18 who underwent heart transplant surgery at a university hospital. The study sample included 50 patients. The research data were collected using the Self-Care Agency Scale. Results: Only 38% of the patients defined themselves as independent in their daily activities. Of them, 94% received support from one of their family members in their daily life activities. Their mean self-care agency score was 97.10±11.31. Age, marital status, education level, and people helping them to perform daily life activities did not affect the heart transplant patients' self-care agency. However, economic status did affect their self-care agency. Conclusion: The heart transplant patients had low self-care agency scores, which shows that patients' self-care responsibility and health protection behaviors were inadequate.

Amaç: Kalp nakli hastaları öz bakımlarını en üst düzeyde tutmalı ve kendi bakımları ve tedavileri için sorumluluk almalıdır. Araştırma kalp nakli olmuş hastaların öz bakım güçleri ve bunu etkileyen faktörleri saptamak için yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma tanımlayıcı ve kesitseldir. Çalışmanın evrenini bir üniversite hastanesinde kalp nakli olmuş 18 yaşından büyük 117 hasta oluşturmuştur. Örneklem grubuna 50 kişi alınmıştır. Veriler demografik özellikleri belirlemeye yönelik bir anket formu ve 'Öz-Bakım Gücü Ölçeği' kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Bulgular: Hastaların sadece% 38'i günlük aktivitelerinde kendilerini bağımsız olarak tanımladı. Onların %94'ü günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde aile üyelerinden destek aldığını ifade etti. Kalp nakli olan hastaların öz bakım gücü puan ortalamaları 97,10±11,31 olarak belirlenmiştir. Yaş, cinsiyet, medeni durum, eğitim durumu, günlük yaşam aktivitelerini yerine getirmede yardım eden kişilerin varlığının, öz bakım gücünü etkilemediği fakat maddi durumun ise öz bakım gücünü etkilediği saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Kalp nakli olan hastaların öz bakım puanları düşük bulunmuştur. Bu da hastaların öz bakım sorumluluğunun ve sağlık koruma davranışlarının yetersiz olduğunu göstermektedir.
