Relationship between Self-efficacy and Outcome Expectation on Body Mass Index in the Elderly Population

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and outcome expectation of the Body Mass Index in the elderly population. Methods: This research is an analytical observational study conducted with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling was done by consecutive sampling technique with a total of 118 samples (61.7 ± 8.3 years; 153.7 ± 8.3 cm; 60.5 ± 12.7 kg; BMI = 25.5 ± 4.6 kg/m 2 ). Data analysis in this study uses the Pearson product-moment correlation technique. Results: The results of this study show a significant negative relationship between self-efficacy dimension 1 and BMI because of the value of sig. < 0.05, r count is negative and r count < r table -0.1809. There is a significant negative relationship between self-efficacy dimension 2 and BMI because of sig value. < 0.05, r count is negative and r count < r table (-0.203 < 0.1809). There is a significant negative relationship between 3rd dimension self-efficacy and BMI because of the value of sig. < 0.05, r count is negative and r count < r table -0.278 < -0.1809. There is a significant negative relationship between the outcome expectation (positive) and BMI because of the sig. < 0.05, r count is negative and r count < r table -0.205 < 0.1809. There is a significant positive relationship between the outcome expectation (negative) and BMI because of the sig. < 0.05, r count is positive and r count > r table (0.523 > 0.1809). Conclusion:It can be concluded that self-efficacy in doing physical activity and understanding the benefits obtained after doing sports has a significant relationship with BMI values in the elderly.

“…27 Someone who has high outcome expectations in curing their illness will be more motivated to perform the correct health behaviour to get the desired outcome. 48 Other predictors in the low category that affect SE in CHD patients are the type of patient diagnosis, psychological factors, and social support. Diagnosis is a significant predictor that can affect cardiac SE.…”
