Objectives: To determine the personal and social factors perceived to influence physical activity levels in stroke survivors. Data sources: Four electronic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed and Embase) were searched from inception to November 2020, including reference and citation list searches. Study selection: The initial search yielded 1499 papers, with 14 included in the review. Included articles were peer-reviewed, qualitative studies, reporting on the perceived factors influencing physical activity levels of independently mobile community-dwelling adults, greater than 3 months post stroke. Data extraction: Data extracted included location, study aim, design, participant and recruitment information and how data were collected and analysed. Data synthesis: Thematic analysis was undertaken to identify meanings and patterns, generate codes and develop themes. Five main themes were identified: (i) Social networks are important influencers of physical activity; (ii) Participation in meaningful activities rather than ‘exercise’ is important; (iii) Self-efficacy promotes physical activity and physical activity enhances self-efficacy; (iv) Pre-stroke identity related to physical activity influences post-stroke physical activity; and (v) Formal programmes are important for those with low self-efficacy or a sedentary pre-stroke identity. Conclusions: Physical activity levels in stroke survivors are influenced by social activities and support, pre-stroke identity, self-efficacy levels and completion of activities that are meaningful to stroke survivors.

This research aimed to find and stimulate self-efficacy of children victims of gender-based sexual violence using the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) method with the Apreciative Inquiry technique, individual assets and social assets owned by victims of sexual violence. Research findings show that  children who are victims of sexual violence are able to accept their condition today, realize their condition and have confidence that they still have success in the future, they will be successful in proving themselves that despite being victims of sexual violence they are able to achieve success in life by continuing school both formal and chase packages, working according to the field of expertise (working in a pharmacy, online business, training in cooking, continuing the business of parents).

Post-stroke conditions can be stressful and unpredictable. Knowledge, motivation, and self-efficacy are essential to the long-term care of post-stroke patients. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between the level of knowledge, motivation, and self-efficacy of post-stroke patients in Lumajang. This study used a cross-sectional design. The population of this study was post-stroke patients in Lumajang. The sampling technique used consecutive sampling with the number of samples obtained, namely 55 samples. The variables of this study were the level of knowledge, motivation, and self-efficacy. The data collection was carried out by using a questionnaire. The data analysis was performed by using the Spearman Rank test. The results showed a correlation between knowledge and motivation with self-efficacy in post-stroke patients, with p-values of 0.004 (r: 0.383) and 0.000 (r: 0.581). A person who had high knowledge and motivation would show positive results in managing his disease; for example, in the stroke concept, the patient will actively participate in the rehabilitation program, treatment program, and schedule visits to health care facilities.

The purpose of this study is to determine the self-efficacy improvement of post-stroke patients when provided with life review therapy. This study was quasi-experimental. A purposive sampling technique was used to collect the data, with a sample of 60 respondents (30 controls and 30 interventions). Data was collected using a stroke self-efficacy questionnaire. The statistical tests used were Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney. The patient's self-efficacy in the intervention group showed a change in category in the post-test result (before the intervention it was mostly in the moderate category, after the intervention it went  into the high category) with statistical test results p=0.00. The control group remained mostly in the moderate category on both pre-test and post-test results with statistical test results p=0.002. There was a comparison of the effectiveness of applying life review therapy between the two groups (p=0.000). The results of this study indicate that the administration of life review therapy can improve the self-efficacy of patients after a stroke.</span></span></p>

Although self-efficacy is a construct born originally out of and into the field of psychology, its importance and relevance extend de facto outside its original field of research to span multiple closely related disciplines including, but in no way limited to, applied linguistics and educational psychology mainly for its demonstrably strong association to a vast range of language-related educational phenomena. In the present study, we set out to examine, by means of the Spearman correlational test and through the construction of a direct effect model, the relationship between general self-efficacy beliefs and academic achievement. For this, we used responses of one hundred and thirty-eight (N = 138) EFL students of undergraduate and graduate levels from numerous universities across different regions in Morocco. Findings show a very moderate significant correlation between self-efficacy and academic achievement as measured by GPA. Further, a constructed direct-effect path model showed a significant positive impact of self-efficacy on academic achievement, substantiating further the existing link between the two constructs. In addition, a gender-based comparison in terms of self-efficacy using an independent sample t-test revealed that females reported higher self-efficacy beliefs than their male counterparts. Finally, we conclude with a summary of the study and some recommendations for future research.
