Methods: A quasi-experimental repeated-measures design was used. Participants were recipients of social services from 11 local self-sufficiency centers in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. In total, 100 participants were recruited, with 51 assigned to the experimental group and 49 assigned to the control group. The experimental group received an eight-session program delivered by center practitioners who had been trained by mental health nurses, whereas the control group received usual services. Self-sufficiency motivation, self-esteem, and self-efficacy were assessed at three time points: baseline (pretest: T0), immediately after the intervention (post-test: T1), and 4 weeks after the intervention (follow-up: T2). Results: Using generalized estimating equations, participants in the experimental group showed significantly greater improvements than those in the control group at both T1 and T2 in self-sufficiency motivation (T1: B=1.61, p=.030; T2: B=2.88, p<.001), self-esteem (T1: B=2.77, p<.001; T2: B=2.78, p<.001), and self-efficacy (T1: B=3.95, p=.004; T2: B=4.19, p<.001). Conclusion: The practitioner-led program is associated with significant short-term improvements in psychosocial determinants of self-sufficiency among low-income service recipients. These findings may inform the development of community nursing interventions that support the psychosocial foundations of independent living in this population and provide a basis for training programs designed to strengthen the capacity of practitioners at local self-sufficiency centers (Clinical Research Information Service of Korea registration number: KCT0010027; registration date: December 12, 2024). pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: clinical trial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
