Self-Care Self-Efficacy Correlates with Independence in Basic Activities of Daily Living in Individuals with XXXX .

@entity64 @entity497 @entity14062
BACKGROUND: (1) To characterize the @entity14062 ( @entity14062 ) of @entity497 individuals with @entity64 and (2) to determine the contribution of @entity14062 to the independence in basic and instrumental activities of daily living (BADL and IADL) and the participation of individuals with @entity64 . @entity14062 is the confidence in one's own ability to perform self-care activities. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included fifty community-dwelling individuals mean (SD) age 59.8 (9.3) years, mean (SD) 3.1 (1.7) years post- @entity64 who were able to walk at least 10 meters. @entity14062 was assessed using the Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SSEQ), BADL was assessed by the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) (interview), the IADL questionnaire assessed IADL and the Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities (PASIPD) assessed participation. Correlation and regression analyses were performed after controlling for grip strength, executive functions and gait speed, factors known to influence independence in daily living. RESULTS: The mean @entity14062 level was moderate-high (70%). Significant moderate correlations were found between @entity14062 to independence in BADL (r = .596, P < .001), IADL (r = .567, P < .001) and participation (r = .340, P < .005). @entity14062 of our cohort explained 7.4% of the variance of the individual's independence in BADL after controlling for executive functions and gait speed, but did not contribute to their independence in IADL and participation. CONCLUSIONS: Higher @entity14062 of individuals  with @entity64 contributes to more independence in BADL. Additional questionnaires regarding self efficacy for IADL should be developed and investigated.
