TOPIC.  Concept analysis and self‐efficacy. PURPOSE.  This paper provides an in‐depth analysis of the concept self‐efficacy through the use of Rodger's model. SOURCES.  Published research. CONCLUSION.  Self‐efficacy beliefs influence how people think, feel, motivate themselves, and act. Self‐efficacy is concerned about the perception or judgment of being able to accomplish a specific goal and cannot be sensed globally. In order to gain a sense of self‐efficacy, a person can complete a skill successfully, observe someone else doing a task successfully, acquire positive feedback about completing a task, or rely on physiological cues.
