Efficacy Expectations

Self-efficacy expectations for functional activities were defined operationally by having individuals rate their perceived judgment or confidence in their ability to perform each specific activity of daily living (ADL) (bathing, dressing, transferring, ambulating, and stair climbing) at a given point in time. The Self-Efficacy for Functional Activities (SEFA) scale initially included 27 items focusing on efficacy expectations related to performance of each ADL independently, with adaptive equipment, and with the help of another person. After initial pilaf testing the scale was revised to include 9 items which focused on efficacy expectations related to performance of each ADL independently, or with the help of another person. Two additional studies were done and provided some evidence for the reliability and validity of the SEFA when used with older adults.

Abstract Background Stroke in adults aged between 18 and 64 years old is increasing significantly worldwide. Studies have reported that this group of young stroke survivors encounters enormous difficulties reintegrating into their social roles. Individualised discussions with healthcare professionals and learning from other survivors are imperative for them to reconstruct their identities after stroke. There is also great demand for community support during their chronic stage of recovery to help them rebuild life skills to promote reintegration. Methods/design This is a randomised controlled trial to investigate the effects of a 24-week Narrative and Skills-building Intervention (NSI) on young stroke survivors’ community reintegration and psychosocial outcomes. A total of 208 adults aged 18–64 years old with a first-ever or recurrent ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke and have been discharged home will be recruited and randomly assigned to receive usual care or usual care with NSI. The NSI is grounded in Narrative Theory and Bandura’s principles of Self-efficacy and Outcome Expectation, consisting of successive eight individual sessions over six months delivered by a trained facilitator (a registered nurse). Participants will be facilitated to narrate their survival experiences and rebuild core life skills. Videos of peer young stroke survivors’ experiences of recovery will be provided. Outcomes including community reintegration, depressive symptoms, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, outcome expectation and satisfaction with performance of self-management behaviours will be measured before (T0) and immediately after NSI (T1), then six (T2) and 12 months after NSI (T3). Generalised estimating equations models will be used to compare the differential changes in outcomes across time between the two groups. Focus group interviews will be conducted with the facilitator at T1 and with the participants in the intervention group at T1 and T3. Discussion This study will evaluate the short and long-term effects of a theory-based NSI on young stroke survivors’ community reintegration and establish a new model of community reintegration after stroke to inform future research. The results will also provide valuable evidence to develop clinical guidelines for young stroke survivors’ community reintegration.

Background and Purpose: The recovery journey after stroke can be chronic and complicated. Studies found that stroke survivors had a lower self-efficacy in performing self-management. The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of supporting community-dwelling stroke survivors through volunteering by healthcare professionals and general public. Methods: The study was underpinned by Bandura’s constructs of self-efficacy and outcome expectation. A volunteer team of healthcare professionals and adult lay persons were recruited. Training manuals and a total of 10 scenario-based videos about home visiting and phone coaching respectively were developed. Training workshops were conducted for all volunteers. Practice sessions were conducted between the volunteers and stroke survivors. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with all volunteers about their experience of training, perceived challenges of volunteer services, and suggestions for improvement. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim for thematic analysis. Results: A total of 13 volunteers (age range: 20-40 years) were recruited. Five were healthcare professionals (registered nurse or social worker). Four key themes were generated: (1) Continued community-based support to stroke survivors is crucial to address their chronic and complex physical and psychosocial challenges in recovery, (2) Collaboration between healthcare professionals and general public provided pragmatic and sustainable support to community-dwelling stroke survivors, (3) Support through home visiting and phone coaching was flexible and addressed the transportation problems common in stroke survivors, and (4) Psychosocial support was becoming more important in chronic stage of stroke recovery. Conclusions: The findings supported that collaboration between volunteer healthcare professionals and stroke survivors would provide an innovative and sustainable approach to support community-dwelling stroke survivors’ recovery in long term. The evidence will inform development and implementation of volunteer services and hence building community capacity to support recovery of stroke survivors.

This study aims to determine the relationship between factors that influence entrepreneurial intentions which consist of entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial attitudes, subjective norms, self efficacy, and mentoring. Research on factors that influence entrepreneurship has been carried out by many previous researchers. However, mentoring is a variable that is rarely studied in previous studies. This study will discuss more about the variable mentoring. In this study, the quantitative paradigm was used as the basis of this study, with the type of descriptive research. The object of research used is the entrepreneurship study program. While the analysis unit used is an individual. Data collection methods in the form of questionnaires with 24 indicators with an interval measurement scale that is a 5-point Likert scale. The sampling design used is non-probability sampling, namely judgment sampling with students and students majoring in entrepreneurship as active as a sample. The number of samples used in this study is 85 for preliminary studies, and 157 for actual research studies. After the data is collected, the data is then tested for reliability and validity using Cronbach's Alpha and construct validity using Pearson Correlation and also Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). After passing the reliability and validity tests, of the 24 indicators used previously, only 15 indicators met the requirements for reliability testing and validity testing. Then the data was then analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results of this study are from eight pre-determined hypotheses, there are two hypotheses that are not supported by several reasons. From this study, it can be concluded that there is no relationship between entrepreneurial education and student self-efficacy, and the absence of a relationship between mentoring and student self-efficacy.

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.

The Impact

With the increasing popularity of entrepreneurship education programs across the world, the impact assessment of such programs has gathered considerable interest of the researchers. Growing number of studies are including entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) as a key predictor of future entrepreneurial behaviour and hence the scale for measuring ESE is central to majority of studies pertaining to entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial behaviour. This study attempts to refine the existing instruments for measuring ESE by extensively reviewing the notable scales of ESE in literature and develops a comprehensive scale of ESE relevant in the Indian context. The additional components are added to the existing scales through expert discussions with the academicians as well as entrepreneurs. The scale is further verified for its reliability and validity by using appropriate statistical methods.
