“…This broad selfefficacy concept may explain a wider range of human behaviors and coping outcomes when studying the wellbeing of patients who have to adjust their life to multiple demands due to illness (Bonetti et al, 2001). People who had stronger general self-efficacy beliefs showed better adjustment to medical conditions, e.g., cancer , or rehabilitation from heart surgery (Schröder et al, 1998). General self-efficacy was further found to be related to the performance of health behaviors (e.g., Luszczynska et al, 2005), to perceived functional ability in older and chronically ill adults (e.g., Luszczynska et al, 2007) and to control perceptions for multiple illnesses (e.g., Schüz et al, in press).…”

Particularly in older adults, self-reports of physical health need not necessarily reflect their objective health status as they can be biased by optimism. In this study, we examine whether the effect of objective physical functioning on subjective physical functioning is modified by health-specific optimism and self-efficacy. A longitudinal study with three measurement points over 6 months and 309 older adults (aged 65-85) with multimorbidity was conducted. Subjective physical functioning was regressed on objective physical functioning, health-specific optimism and self-efficacy. Subjective physical functioning was predicted by both objective physical functioning and optimism as a mediator. Moreover, an interaction between optimism and self-efficacy was found: Optimism predicted subjective physical functioning only for individuals with low self-efficacy. Subjective physical functioning is as much based on objective physical functioning as it is on health-specific optimism. Older adults base their subjective physical functioning on objective indicators but also on optimism, when they are less self-efficacious.

“…Strong support for an optimistic view of recovery was established as patients with positive expectations prior to surgery had better short and long-term outcomes. In a study by Schröder and Schwarzer (1998) to be greater in number in more optimistic individuals i.e. such patients had the potential for faster healing with fewer complications.…”

“…Measured by means of the General Perceived Self-Efficacy scale (GSE) [24], it has been found to be a better predictor of subjective well-being, self-reported illness and coping than concurrent measures of self-esteem or trait anxiety, or adherence to medical regimens [15,25]. It seems to us that the GSE is a suitable instrument for the parsimonious measurement of self-efficacy that can not only be used by researchers and practitioners alike, but can also be applied in the context of population-based knowledge, especially given the time and fiscal constraints currently affecting most healthcare settings.…”

Heart failure, oxidative stress and allopurinol. Application of the general perceived self-efficacy scale in cardiovascular rehabilitation. A.M. Zotti, G. Balestroni, P. Cerutti, S. Rossi Ferrario, E. Angelino, M. Miglioretti.Psychosocial support, education and self-management are important complements of rehabilitation programs. A central concept in self-management is self-efficacy, which refers to oneself confidence in reaching a desired goal. The General Perceived Self-Efficacy scale (GSE), developed to measure self-efficacy at the broadest level, could be useful in the rehabilitation setting, in order to assess patients' selfmanagement difficulties as well as to design specific interventions for specific diseases.Aim of this work is to verify the GSE Italian version psychometric properties applied to the rehabilitation setting. Data were analyzed from 395 in-patients attending cardiac (83.8%) and neurological (16.2%) rehabilitation. Cardiac patients suffered from post-MI, CABG or heart-failure; all of the neurological patients suffered from amiotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). They were mostly males (84.5%), and the mean age was 55.7 years. Principal component factor analysis confirmed that GSE has a monofactorial structure with internal consistency of .85. As in previous studies, a gender difference emerged. There was no difference in cardiac patients, on the basis of their specific disease, but they showed higher self-efficacy perception compared to ALS patients. The findings confirm that GSE is a valid measure of self-efficacy in settings characterised by different levels of functional abilities, as in cardiac and neurological rehabilitation.
