Abstract: Aims and objectives The aim of this study is to assess the factors associated with self‐care agency in postpercutaneous coronary intervention patients. Background Patients after percutaneous coronary intervention need to perform self‐care to reduce the side effects and increase the quality of life. Self‐care agency is considered to be an important factor in guaranteeing self‐care actions. Design In this descriptive study a total number of 300 postpercutaneous coronary intervention patients participated. Data were collected from the four hospitals affiliated with Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Iran between February–May 2015. Methods The data were gathered using demographic and basic conditioning factors questionnaire and appraisal of self‐care agency scale. Data analysis was performed by anova and t‐test. Results The mean age of the participants was 62·10 ± (8·14), which included 52·7% men and 47·3% women. Most patients (72%) had good level of self‐care agency. Self‐care agency had higher level in married and higher income patients. Conclusion Self‐care agency is influenced by economic and marital situation. Relevance to clinical practice Identifying factors associated with self‐care agency can help healthcare professionals to consider these factors in self‐care planning.
