Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between self-efficacy and health behavior among stroke survivors.Methods Self-efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-item Scale and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II were used to measure 96 stroke survivors’ self-efficacy and health behaviors.Pearson correlation analysis was used for the analysis of correlation.Results The mean score of overall health behaviors was (2.41±0.33).Pearson’s correlation coefficient between self-efficacy and health behavior was 0.36 (P<0.05).Conclusions The health behaviors of stroke survivors were at the intermediate or lower level and their self-efficacy was at the intermediate level.In order to help stroke survivors to improve their health behaviors,self-efficacy should be enhanced by specific health education.
