1) In family support, there were significant difference in marriage(F=9.32, p=.0001), the presence of assistance(F=5.31, p=.0005), medical insurance(F=18.50, p=.0001), families' monthly income(F=10.95, p=.0001), and number of people in the home(F=4.00, p=.0006).
2) In self-care performance, there were significant difference in marriage(F=3.88, p=.0052), medical insurance(F=15.51, p=.0001), families' monthly income(F=4.0l, p=.0091), and period of dialysis(F=4.04, p=.0087).
