| Annotation | Sense of control was examined in a congregation of Catholic sisters ranging in age from 33 to 90. Age, educational level, career orientation, retirement status, health, self-esteem, coping ability, and support systems best explained sense of control. The older Catholic sisters who no longer worked and who had some health limitations had lower self-esteem, and as a result, a lesser sense of control than sisters who still worked and had fewer health limitations. Suggestions are made regarding enhancement of feelings of control. |
