Self-Efficacy in Self-Care and Its Related Factors Among Patients with Coronary Heart Disease in Indonesia: A Rasch Analysis

Abstract

Background Low self-efficacy (SE) can impact decreasing health status, poor self-care, and quality of life among patients with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). Many factors can affect SE. However, studies on SE in CHD patients with Rasch Model analysis have not been carried out widely. Purpose This study aims to identify the SE in self-care and its related factors that correlate SE among CHD patients. Patients and Methods Cross-sectional study was conducted on 104 adult patients (≥18 years) diagnosed with CHD. Selection of the sample using convenience sampling technique with several predetermined criteria. SE was measured using the SEQ-CHDM questionnaire, with high validity and reliability results. Data were analyzed using the Rasch model and chi-square test. Results The results showed that most respondents had a moderate SE (51.5%). Care units (p=0.003) and duration of illness (p=0.049) were significantly correlated to SE among patients with CHD. “Maintaining an ideal body weight” is the most challenging thing. On the other hand, stop smoking is the most confident thing to be performed by the respondents. Conclusion We conclude that CHD patients in the acute care unit and patients with a duration of illness >6 months have a lower tendency for SE. Health interventions such as raising awareness about the disease, modifying health behavior, and immediately screening can improve patients’ SE. Besides that, proper diagnosis and ongoing treatment are crucial to improving SE and CHD care outcomes.

Analysis of Changes in Students' Science Literacy Ability in Class V Elementary School Science Learning Using the RADEC Model

“…While the results of the pretest and posttest answers were processed using the Rasch model, then the data results were processed in the form of Logit values (Logarithm odd units) which were carried out for each item. According to Nuraeni et al (2023), To find out changes in students' scientific literacy abilities can be seen from the changes in the measurements of students from the pretest and posttest results from the experimental class and the control class. Following are the results of students' scientific literacy abilities in the control class using conventional learning models when seen in the logit or measure results as shown in Table 5.…”

The Utilizing Heart Failure Digital Education Media (HF-DEM) Intervention on the Quality of Life among Heart Failure Patients

“…Changes in self-care will correspond with changes in quality of life (S. S. Seid et al, 2023). Three dimensions of self-care including self-care maintenance, self-care management, and self-care confidence can be used to identify factors that impact self-care behavior (Nuraeni et al, 2023). The first dimension in the self-care process is self-care maintenance.…”

Health Educational Methods for Improving Self-Efficacy Among Patients with Coronary Heart Disease: A Scoping Review

“… 13 SE is defined as an individual’s belief in the ability to carry out the steps necessary to achieve the desired results. 14 In the context of CHD, SE means patient’s belief in the ability to manage the signs and symptoms of cardiovascular disease. 15 A low level of SE in CHD patients will result in a lack of self-acceptance, poor health conditions, and the emergence of depressive symptoms.…”
