Abstract
Objective To investigate the current situation of self-efficacy in patients with bronchiectasis, and to analyze the influencing factors in order to improve their self-efficacy. Methods Self-efficacy scale and the general situation questionnaire was used to investigate the self-efficacy and its influencing factors of 150 patients with bronchiectasis by using the convenience sampling method. Results The scores of self-efficacy of the 150 patients with bronchiectasis were: self-efficacy (5.36 ± 1.48) points, symptom management self-efficacy (5.57 ± 1.74) points, common disease management self-efficacy (5.19 ± 1.62) points.Gender, educational level, smoking status and first diagnosis were all related to self-efficacy scores, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Patients' self-efficacy was positively correlated with their first diagnosis and smoking status. Conclusions The self-efficacy of patients with bronchiectasis needs to be improved.For long-term smokers, health care workers should strengthen self-management to improve their self-efficacy and improve their health.
