Self-Efficacy
Captions available
The idea
Self-efficacy is the confidence with which patients and families physically carry out the plan of care, and it is the central tenet of the ownership-of-health model this course cites.
In practice
A patient who believes they can manage an inhaler technique, and does.
Where people slip
Self-efficacy is confidence in doing, not understanding. A patient can understand a plan and not believe they can perform it.
