Empowering Patients Toward Motivation and Maintenance to Change
Published in Gia Merlo, Kathy Berra, Lifestyle Nursing, 2023
Social learning theory, or social cognitive theory, developed by Bandura, is the most well-known theory directed at health behavior change (Bandura, 1977). This theory is based on the tenets that behavior change considers personal experience, self and group efficacy in changing behaviors, the importance of a supportive social setting, and the development of skills to maintain new attitudes and practices. This theory emphasizes the concept of self-efficacy as a mediator of change. Self-efficacy is likened to self-confidence and reflects a person’s judgment about how successful he or she will be in performing certain tasks. The more confident an individual is that they can change behavior, the more likely the behavior change will occur. The four elements of social learning theory are skill mastery, verbal persuasion from a health care professional, physiologic feedback, and modeling behaviors, which enhance self-efficacy. Measuring self-efficacy can provide practical information for assessing the effectiveness of programs or interventions aimed at health behavior change.

Looney et al.26 described challenges in the inpatient setting to utilizing traditional functional outcome measures, especially near or at the end of life, when a person’s physical functioning is progressively impaired and physical status is highly variable. Due to this, another useful area to demonstrate the effectiveness of therapist care is through the application of valid and reliable self-efficacy scales. The concept of self-efficacy reflects the empowerment of the patient to have confidence in managing a specific aspect of their overall health care.27 In the domain of pain self-efficacy, there are two commonly utilized scales, the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ)28,29 and the Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale.30 Looking specifically at the PSEQ, its test-retest reliability was reported to be 0.73.28 It has been demonstrated to be responsive to change, and a 9-point change has been determined to be the MCID.31

Self-efficacy, which has been described as self-confidence in a specific behavior, was subsequently added to the HBM model to increase the model’s ability to actively predict health behavior. The concept of self-efficacy permeates many of these behavior change models.

The mean SES scores of the participants were found to be lower than moderate (Table 2). Self-efficacy is a major risk factor for relapse in substance use disorder. For this reason, it should be emphasized and improved, particularly in the treatment of substance use disorders. Kayaoğlu and Altun (2021) conducted a randomized controlled study with patients with substance use disorders and determined that the mean SES scores of both the experimental and control groups were close to the median before the intervention (experimental group 46.53 ± 12.91, control group 50.62 ± 20.04). Oei and Jardim (2007) reported in their study that low self-efficacy increased susceptibility to negative alcohol-related behaviors (Oei & Jardim, 2007). According to other studies in the literature, high self-efficacy reduces the risk of relapse (Abdollahi et al., 2014; Burling et al., 1989; Moos & Moos, 2006; Sadowski et al., 2010; Vielva & Iraurgi, 2001).
Using wound cartoon visual education to enhance nurses’ knowledge of wound care

Self-efficacy refers to an individual’s belief in their ability to accomplish specific tasks. Our study found that after wound cartoon visual education, the post-test self-efficacy score was 29.1, a decrease of 0.4 points from the pre-test score of 29.5. This may be because wound cartoon visual education is a new way of learning wound care knowledge and skills that may contradict the wound care experience that nurses have acquired in the past. As a result, nurses may not be able to effectively absorb and apply the new knowledge and skills within a short period, leading to a decrease in their self-efficacy scores. This finding is consistent with Lee, Arthur, and Avis’s (Lee et al., 2008) research results, which suggest that self-efficacy is a key factor in predicting organisational performance, confidence in overcoming obstacles, and success rates in performing specific behaviours. Self-efficacy can also be compromised due to conflicts between nurses’ experiences and self-perceptions, leading to rejection or negative thoughts. However, using cartoons and humour in nursing education can have a positive effect on learning, relieve stress, and stimulate creative thinking. Cartoon multimedia education can also be used to obtain informed consent (Furuno & Sasajima, 2015).

One way to improve self-efficacy is improving skills. People’s self-efficacy to perform life skills plays a productive role in improving healthy behaviors (Glanz et al., 2008; Moeini et al., 2018). In many studies (Bonyani et al., 2018; Griffin et al., 2006; Velasco et al., 2017) the role of life skills has been confirmed on the prevention of substance use behavior. Also, life skills are now implemented to improve the treatment of disabilities (Ihara et al., 2012), Schizophrenia (Aki et al., 2008), and type 2 diabetes (Ziba et al., 2017). Life skills are, in fact, psycho-social abilities that help individuals to cope effectively and solve life problems (Buvaneswari & Sylvia, 2018) and to work in group (Brigman & Webb, 2007), Resistance to pressure of peers that encourage them to take high risk actions (MacArthur et al., 2016). Study of Abdeli Soltan Ahmadi and Amani Saribagloo (2016) in Iran showed that inability to solve problems as a life skill is one of the effective factors in the readiness for treatment of substance use. Also study of Safari and Mousavizade (2014) shows that in the Iranian population, self-control skill in family and communication with peers could be productive role in the treatment of substance use.
