Psychosocial factors associated with self-efficacy for managing chronic disease in patients with chronic heart failure

Conclusions: In Chinese patients with chronic heart failure, the prevalence of inadequate self-efficacy for managing chronic disease is high; general self-efficacy, depression and perceived social support are independent factors associated with self-efficacy for managing chronic disease. The screening of patients’ self-efficacy and the implementation of relevant interventions may be beneficial to the promotion of self-management.
