General Self Efficacy

Self-efficacy is een robuuste voorspeller als het gaat om (gezondheids)gedrag en de theorie van self-efficacy wordt daarom vooral ingezet voor effectieve preventie. Ondanks het belang en de noodzaak van de theorie, is er in de psychologie een gebrek aan eenduidigheid van definities en operationalisaties. Er zijn in de literatuur veel verschillende constructen met (deels of geheel) dezelfde inhoud, en daartegenover worden dezelfde constructen in verschillende theorieën anders gedefinieerd. Dit geeft problemen in het trekken van conclusies, als het immers niet duidelijk is welke precieze definitie wordt aangehouden. Bovendien zijn definities van constructen die deel uitmaken van de theorie van self-efficacy, vaak te beknopt en vaag beschreven in de literatuur, zo ook de oorspronkelijke definities van de constructen van de theorie van self-efficacy. Conceptuele onduidelijkheid heeft een grote heterogeniteit aan meetinstrumenten tot gevolg. In deze thesis zijn definities van de constructen general self-efficacy, specific self-efficacy, outcome expectancy en enactive mastery experiences zo eenduidig en uitgebreid mogelijk gedefinieerd, waarbij ook de grenzen zijn afgebakend van waar de constructen niet over gaan. Bovendien zijn er instructies beschreven voor het ontwikkelen van meetinstrumenten voor de constructen. Dit alles is beschreven door middel van het format Decentralized Construct Taxonomies. Oorspronkelijke definities van de constructen bleken erg summier. Veelgebruikte meetinstrumenten voor de constructen bleken niet geheel geschikt voor de hier ontwikkelde definities, en daarom zijn in deze thesis gedetailleerde instructies beschreven voor het ontwikkelen van meetinstrumenten voor deze constructen.

Efficacy Outcome

The objective of the present study was to test if outcome expectancy mediated the relationship between fitness and self-efficacy, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms.Adolescents with obesity ( n = 228) completed measures of perceived stress and depressive symptoms at baseline, self-efficacy and outcome expectancy at baseline and 3 months, and fitness at baseline and 6 months. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Results showed that self-efficacy was positively associated with fitness via outcome expectancies. For females, fewer depressive symptoms were linked to fitness via self-efficacy and outcome expectancies. Exercise interventions that enhance exercise self-efficacy, outcome expectancy, and reduce depressive symptoms may increase fitness.

Momentary Assessment

Background:Decisions to perform moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) involve behavioral cognitive processes that may differ within individuals depending on the situation.Methods:Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) was used to examine the relationships of momentary behavioral cognitions (ie, self-efficacy, outcome expectancy, intentions) with MVPA (measured by accelerometer). A sample of 116 adults (mean age, 40.3 years; 72.4% female) provided real-time EMA responses via mobile phones across 4 days. Multilevel models were used to test whether momentary behavioral cognitions differed across contexts and were associated with subsequent MVPA. Mixed-effects location scale models were used to examine whether subject-level means and within-subjects variances in behavioral cognitions were associated with average daily MVPA.Results:Momentary behavioral cognitions differed across contexts for self-efficacy (P = .007) but not for outcome expectancy (P = .53) or intentions (P = .16). Momentary self-efficacy, intentions, and their interaction predicted MVPA within the subsequent 2 hours (Ps < .01). Average daily MVPA was positively associated with within-subjects variance in momentary self-efficacy and intentions for physical activity (Ps < .05).Conclusions:Although momentary behavioral cognitions are related to subsequent MVPA, adults with higher average MVPA have more variation in physical activity self-efficacy and intentions. Performing MVPA may depend more on how much behavioral cognitions vary across the day than whether they are generally high or low.

Abstract Background: The asthma prevalence of Taiwanese adolescents is continued to rise and affecting sufferers’ daily life. With physical and psychological changes in adolescents, managing asthma can be quite challenges for them and could lead to negative social, emotional and physical impacts if not well managed. Literature found that adolescents with high levels of self-efficacy are more likely to be involved in prevention and management activities. The aim of this study was to develop an effective asthma self-management program by taking account for adolescents’ developmental stages and based on Bandura’s self-efficacy model for this group of young people. Methods: A randomised controlled trial was used to evaluate effects of the newly developed Asthma Self-management Program for Taiwanese adolescents. The outcomes were self-efficacy, outcome-expectancy, asthma prevention and self-management behaviour, and controlling asthma symptoms. Translation and back-translation process were used for original tools in English. Good consistent reliabilities of Chinese versions tools were identified. A t-test or Mann-Whiney U test was employed to determine any mean differences of outcome variables between groups overtime. Results: A sample of 83 patients completed (n = 43 in control group, n = 40 in experimental group) the study. The mean age was 14.3 years (SD = 1.85), two-third of the participants were males. Seventy-six percent (n = 68) had a mild to intermittent level of asthma severity. Significant improvements were found on self-efficacy, t = -2.75; outcome-expectancy, U = 646, prevention behaviours, t = -3.62, and management behaviours, t = -3.19, but non-significant results for the outcome of asthma control, U = 716. Conclusions: The results provide evidence to support the efficacy of the asthma self-management program based on the self-efficacy model that has taken considerations of developmental phases. The findings indicated the self-management program improved adolescents’ self-confidence in carrying out asthma prevention and management behaviours for effectively manage their asthma symptoms. Future clinical practice should consider delivering an educational program using multifaceted and interactive learning strategies.

Ebp Attitudes

Objective Ahead of the convergence of two major paediatric services, we examined evidence-based practice (EBP) self-efficacy, outcome expectancy, knowledge and use among allied health (AH) staff in two major Queensland (Qld) paediatric services. This was to determine whether any differences existed based on organisational affiliation, profession and any previous training to inform a strategy to enhance AH EBP within the new organisational setting. Methods All AH staff from the two Brisbane (Qld) tertiary paediatric hospitals were invited to participate in the survey. Using a cross-sectional design, EBP self-efficacy, outcome expectancy, knowledge and use, as well as previous EBP training, were assessed with an online survey. Background demographic information obtained included professional discipline and hospital. Results One hundred and thirty-eight health practitioners completed the survey (37% response rate). Most practitioners had accessed EBP training. Mean scores for EBP attitudes (self-efficacy and outcome expectancy) and knowledge were higher than for EBP use scores. Greater variation was observed across professional disciplines than organisations. Training impacted positively on EBP measures but explained a small proportion of total variance in regression models. Conclusions The results underscore the need to provide organisational supports to AH staff for EBP implementation. Strategies other than training are required to maximally enhance EBP attitudes. The new organisational structure provides an opportunity for this cultural shift to occur. What is known about the topic? Factors affecting the EBP capabilities of AH professionals are complex and are associated with institutional culture and barriers, personal self-belief and individual experience and ability, and can exist at clinician, team and organisational levels. What does this paper add? The data from the present study confirm the emerging literature examining various AH professional groups’ EBP behaviours and ratings with a large and diverse cohort from a variety of backgrounds and across organisations. Respondents possessed a positive attitude towards EBP and moderate EBP knowledge, with these scores exceeding EBP use scores. Organisational affiliation had little impact on EBP measures. What are the implications for practitioners? Although the results of the present study highlight the importance of training in literature searching, EBP and research design and/or analysis, the findings also indicated that strategies other than training are required to maximally enhance EBP attitudes and use by AH staff. To harness the positive approach AH staff have to EBP, strategies such as incorporation of EBP principles and plans in departmental meetings and strategic reviews, as well as strengthening organisational governance in relation to EBP and research, must be developed within the new organisational structure and context; a powerful, but often overlooked, enabler of EBP.
