Self-care skills training was performed in six sessions of 45 minutes for the intervention group. The control group received routine care. The Cooper Smith questionnaire and the Kindle quality of life questionnaire were used in this study. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using the SPSS software version 16.
Results: The repeated measures analysis of variance showed a significant difference in the quality of life score means over time (P<0.005) and between the two groups of intervention and control (P<0.015). Also, there was a significant difference in the self-esteem score means over time (P=0.004) and between the intervention and control groups (P=0.004).
