abstract="PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether abused and nonabused pregnant, low-socioeconomic adolescents differ in regard to perceived self-care capabilities. SAMPLE: The sample (N = 36) consisted of 18 abused/neglected and 18 nonabused/non-neglected adolescents. DATA ANALYSIS: The adolescents' responses on the Denyes Self-Care Agency Instrument were analyzed to determine significant differences between the two groups regarding self-care agency. FINDINGS: Significant differences were found between the two groups in regard to perceived relative valuing of health and perceived attention to health. CONCLUSIONS: Although abused adolescents had a higher level of relative valuing of health and lower attention to health than their nonabused counterparts, findings show that both groups are capable of performing self-care and should be encouraged to do so.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
