Purpose:
The aim of this study was to identify predictors for self-efficacy level in patients with venous leg ulcer (VLU).
Design:
Observational, cross-sectional, correlational study.
Subjects And Setting:
The sample comprised 263 participants recruited from 4 tertiary grade A general hospitals (high acuity and technology) in Qingdao and Tianjin, China from February to December 2022.
Methods:
Data collection was carried out by distributing a questionnaire that included the Venous Leg Ulcer Self-efficacy Tool, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, and Social Support Rating Scale to potential respondents. Independent sample t test, 1-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis.
Results:
Participants' mean self-efficacy score was 210.50 (standard deviation: 48.15). Multiple linear regression indicated that social support (β = 0.359, P = .001) and confrontation coping mode (β = 0.258, P < .001) were the most significant predictors of self-efficacy in participants with VLUs.
Conclusions:
Study findings suggest that psychosocial interventions that strengthen social support and adopting confrontation coping mode may contribute to the improved self-efficacy in VLU patients.
