ABSTRACT
Aims
One of the most important factors of individual health in the adolescents is the self-concept. As a nursing model, the Roy adaptation model mainly investigates the factor. The aim of the study was to investigate the self-concept and its related factors in the adolescent girls in Gonabad Township, based on the Roy adaptation model.
Materials & Methods In the descriptive cross-sectional study, 270 adolescent girls were studied in Gonabad Township, Iran, in 2015. The subjects were selected from three health-care centers via stratified cluster random sampling method. Data was collected using a demographic questionnaire and a researcher-made inventory assessing the self-concept in the adolescent girls based on the Roy adaptation model. Data was analyzed by SPSS 22 software using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s correlational and Chi-square tests.
Findings The mean self-concept score of the adolescent girls was 281.10±19.06. 125 girls (46.6%) and 143 girls (53.4%) were good and moderate, respectively. Age and the constant self-concept (p=0.03; r=-0.13), the economic status and the moral-spiritual self-concept (p=0.02; r=0.15), as well as the constant self-concept (p=0.02; r=0.11), father’s educational level and the constant self-concept (p=0.04; r=0.12), and father’s occupation and the mental self-concept (p=0.04; r=0.13) were significantly correlated.
Conclusion The self-concept is moderate in more than a half of the adolescent girls in Gonabad Township. In addition, most of them have weak or moderate objective self.
