3. 본 연구의 가설 "학령기 및 청소년기 당뇨환자들의 자아존중감이 높을수록 자가간호정도는 높을 것이다"는 유의하게 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타나 가설이 지지되었다. (r=.5275, p<.001)
4. 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 자아존중감 정도에는 유의한 차이가 없었다.
5. 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따라 자가간호 정도는 연령에 따라 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 8-13세군이 14세-16세군, I7-19세군보다 자가간호를 잘하는 것으로 나타났다. (F=3.41, p<.05)
6. 대상자의 자가간호정도에서는 내용별로 인슐린주사가 평균평점이 4.29로 가장 잘되었고, 혈당검사와 위생적인 생활이 각각 평균평점 3.63으로 가장 안된 것으로 나타났다.
본 연구결과를 통해 학령기 및 청소년기 당뇨환자의 자아존중감과 자가간호 사이에는 높은 상관관계가 있는 것을 알 수 있으므로 자아존중감을 높일 수 있는 교육방안이 개발되어야 하고 당뇨교육 프로그램에 혈당측정, 위생적인 생활 및 식품교환표에 의한 식이요
법에 관한 내용이 강화되어야함을 제언한다.

child and adolescents

(Directed by Prof. Kim, Hea Sook, Ed.D)
Because diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease which means that the disease is
not curable even it is controllable, it is necessary for patients to learn
management of the disease and implement self-care under the direction of health
care providers.
This study was conducted to identify the correlation between self-esteem and
self-care of young diabetics and to help educate them about health management.
For this study, questionnaires were mailed between October 12, 1993 and November
10, to 54 insulin-dependent young diabetics who were being treated in two general
hospitals located in Seoul in outpatient clinics.
Two management tools were used for this study. The first one was developed by
Coopersmith (1967) and translated by Kwi-in Kim and Do-hyun Chang (1984). For
Self-care, modified diabetic behavior questionnaire of Oh Chang Park was used.
With the collected data, 1 used SPSS to analyze the data using error, ratio,
maximum, minimum, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation.
The result of the Study is as follows:
1. As for the degree of self-esteem perceived by respondents, within the range of
25 to 75, the minimum value was 33, the maximum was 74, the mean was 54.57, and the
standard deviation was 7.5.
2. Concerning the degree of self-care perceived by respondents, within the range
of 14 to 70, the minimum value was 37, maximum was 69, mean was 52.80, and the
standard deviation was 7.58.
3. The hypothesis of this study "The higher the decree of self-esteem of young
diabetics, the higher the degree of self-care" was supported. The study showed
meaningful correlation between these two characteristics.
4. It was not shown that the degree of self-esteem was statistically.
5. It was shown that the degree of self-care was statistical significant when
compareed to the general characteristics of respondents, such as age and grade.
6. For the decree of self-care by factors, the insulin injection was the highest
scored item on the questionnaire with the mean of 4.29.
The bloodsugar level score and personal hygiene score were the lowest with the
mean of 3.63.
This study demonstrated that there exists a high correlation between the
self-esteem and self-care of young diabetics. In the future, we need determine the
variables which influence self-esteem.
