Kardiyovasküler hastalığı olan bireylerde öz etkililik ve etkileyen faktörler

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the factors affecting self efficacy and self efficacy in patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease. The study is analytical-cross-sectional. Patients who were hospitalized between 17.07.2017-25.09.2017 in the cardiology services of the university and state hospitals constituted the universe of the study and 170 patients. The data collection form consists of 3 sections and was completed in 15-20 minutes by face-to-face interview method. “Cardiac efficacy scale” was used to determine self efficacy. The data obtained from the research were analyzed in SPSS 21 package program. Necessary legal permissions and ethics committee approval were obtained to conduct the research. 49.4% of the participants are aged 65 and over, and 54.1% are men. The average score obtained from the cardiac efficacy scale is 29.07 ± 8.67. Having a male, married and high school or higher education level is an important factor affecting the functioning subscale score of the cardiac self efficacy scale (p <0.05). Those who consume alcohol are significantly better than those who do not consume symptoms, exercise and knowledge about the disease is an important factor affecting self efficacy (p <0.05). Self efficacy of individuals with cardiovascular disease is moderate. Self efficacy of men, married, university graduates, exercisers, and those with knowledge of disease is high. They should take initiatives to increase the self-efficacy of patients to all healthcare professionals, especially nurses.
