Universitas Padjadjaran Researchers Clarify Self-Efficacy in Coronary Heart Disease for Enhanced Patient Self-Care<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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\u2019 personal belief in their abilities, perception of self-capability, and understanding of their learning needs related to health management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Importantly, the study finds that inadequate self-efficacy leads to poor self-care behaviors, ultimately negatively impacting patients\u2019 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By integrating these goals, this study advances holistic and equitable healthcare strategies, improving both individual and public health outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
