Universitas Padjadjaran Researchers Clarify Self-Efficacy in Coronary Heart Disease for Enhanced Patient Self-Care
In a recent concept analysis published in the Malaysian Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences, a research team led by Firman Sugiharto from Universitas Padjadjaran, systematically explored self-efficacy in CHD patients. Using Rodger’s concept analysis method, the study reviewed extensive literature across major health databases to identify the antecedents, core attributes, and consequences of self-efficacy in this population.
The analysis highlights four key antecedent categories: personal factors (e.g., beliefs and perceptions), environmental influences, behavioral patterns, and psychological components. Core attributes that form self-efficacy include patients’ personal belief in their abilities, perception of self-capability, and understanding of their learning needs related to health management.
Importantly, the study finds that inadequate self-efficacy leads to poor self-care behaviors, ultimately negatively impacting patients’ quality of life. These insights provide a conceptual framework for healthcare providers, especially nurses, to design targeted interventions that enhance self-efficacy and support sustained patient engagement in their care.
This research strongly supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Good Health and Well-being, by promoting patient empowerment and improved management of chronic diseases. It also aligns with SDG 4: Quality Education, through emphasizing the role of patient understanding and learning needs in health outcomes. Moreover, by addressing health inequities via personalized care approaches it contributes to SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities.
By integrating these goals, this study advances holistic and equitable healthcare strategies, improving both individual and public health outcomes.
