The Effect of Self-Care Education on Self-Care Skills and School Sociality

Primary outcomes

1. Self-care Skills Checklist Scale

   Time frame: 12 Weeks

   "Self-Care Skills Checklist Scale" developed by Konya (2007) was used to measure children's self-care skills. The Checklist consists of 3 sections. These are Eating Skills (14 items), Dressing Skills (19 items) and Personal Care Skills (9 items). In order to determine the level of development of the skills in the checklist, "Very Adequate (5 points), Adequate (4 points), Somewhat Adequate (3 points), Inadequate (2 points), Very Inadequate (1 point)" options were used. The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 42 and the maximum score is 210. A high score indicates high self-care skills.

2. School Social Behavior Scale

   Time frame: 12 Weeks

   It was developed by Kenneth W. Merrell in 1993 in the United States of America as a scale that can be used by classroom teachers or other teachers in K-12 schools (from preschool to high school) to assess individual students. Cognitive-behavioral theory was used in the development of the items. The scale consists of two forms: Form A: Social Competence Form B: Negative Social Behavior Only the Social Competence Form was used in our study. In the final factor analysis of the Social Competence sub-dimension, three factors were identified: Interpersonal Relationships, Self-Control Skills and Academic Skills. The minimum score that can be obtained from the Social Competence form is 32 and the maximum score is 160. A high score indicates that the individual has high social skills.
