The relationship between self-care and health locus of control in pregnancy: a cross-sectional study of Iranian women
A positive significant association was reported between P-HLC and I-HLC with self-care behaviors among pregnant women. Thus, one strategy that could assist in diminishing adverse pregnancy outcomes is to reinforce educational programs developed by health planners that emphasize the enhancement of P-HLC and I-HLC in pregnant women.
