Abstract

The importance of nursing students developing their own self-care agency and wellness behaviors prior to caring for clients has been emphasized. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between self-care agency and wellness behaviors of nursing students, in the context of both their personal diverse backgrounds and their nursing student culture. A purposive, convenience sample was used which consisted of 58 senior level baccalaureate nursing students from three private, liberal arts colleges located in the New York area.
