Abstract
Objective To explore the relationship between self efficacy and fall efficacy in patients with stroke. Methods The falls efficacy scale-international(FES-I) and the stroke self-efficacy questionnaire(SSEQ) were applied to 300 patients with stroke. Results The FES-I score of the participants was 39.13±16.40, the scores of the indoor activity dimension and outdoor activity dimension were (26.01±11.13) and (18.33±7.76), respectively. The total mean score of SSEQ was (40.11 ± 22.37), the scores of the activity function dimension and self-management dimension were (24.97±14.40)and (15.14±8.35), respectively. FES-I scores were positively correlated with SSEQ scores (r=0.550-0.802, P<0.05). Falls efficacy could explain 34.3% and 36.8% variation amount for each dimension of self-efficacy in patients with stroke. Conclusion Falls efficacy is closely related to self-efficacy in patients with stroke. In order to improve the quality of medical care, medical staff should pay attention to the occurrences of reduction of self-efficacy and self-esteem in patients with stroke when they avoid falling during some activities. Key words: Stroke; Self-efficacy; Fall efficay; Correlation
