“…Older age, absence of radiation history, and less distress predicted greater self-efficacy for coping with cancer. Although there is some evidence of lower self-efficacy among young adult patients with chronic pain, the relationship between self-efficacy and age is not entirely clear and deserves further study 43. In this study, having a history of radiation was associated with Spanish language preference, lower income, and more advanced disease stage, all of which are theoretically linked to self-efficacy for coping with cancer.…”

Objectives This study examined the interrelations of self-efficacy for coping with cancer, perceived barriers to pain management, distress, and pain outcomes in a multiethnic sample of breast cancer patients. The extent to which ethnicity (Black, Latina, or Caucasian), language (English or Spanish), and level of education and income predicted these variables also was assessed. Methods Participants were breast cancer patients with persistent pain (N = 87) who were recruited from oncology clinics in New York City. Patients completed an assessment battery that included measures of self-efficacy for coping with cancer, barriers to pain management, distress, and pain outcomes. Results Greater self-efficacy for coping with cancer was associated with older age, less time since diagnosis, and less distress. In addition, less self-efficacy for seeking and understanding medical information, Spanish language preference, and greater distress predicted greater barriers to pain management. Average pain severity was higher among Spanish-speaking individuals and those with lower incomes. Discussion Findings point to the potential importance of self-efficacy for seeking and understanding medical information and perceived barriers to pain management in understanding the psychological well-being of breast cancer patients with pain, especially those who are Spanish-speaking.

“…It was observed that the higher maternal age, the higher their self-efficacy is to prevent childhood diarrhea. Chong, Cogan, Randolph, and Racz (2001) investigated the self-efficacy in relation to chronic pain and also found that self-efficacy of younger people tends to be lower than that of those who are older.…”

“…Diferentemente do observado na presente pesquisa, há um estudo que analisou a auto-eficácia de três grupos de pacientes: de 17 a 35 anos (adultos jovens), 36 a 55 (adultos de meia-idade) e 56 a 73 (adultos de idade avançada) e observou que os adultos jovens apresentaram escores de auto-eficácia menores que os indivíduos de meia-idade (Chong et al, 2001).…”

“…Associação entre auto-eficácia, intensidade da dor e outras variáveis foi observada em outros estudos nos quais os pacientes com mais altos escores de auto-eficácia relataram dor menos intensa, menor prejuízo nas atividades de vida diária, melhor função física e maior controle sobre a vida (Anderson et al, 1995;Chong et al, 2001;Lefebvre et al, 1999).…”

Recebido: 08/12/05 -Aceito: 23/08/06Resumo Contexto: Auto-eficácia é a crença na habilidade pessoal de desempenhar com sucesso tarefas ou de apresentar comportamentos para produzir um resultado desejável. É conceito-chave para o adequado controle de doenças crônicas e estudos sobre o tema são incipientes no Brasil. Objetivo: Avaliar a crença de auto-eficácia de pacientes com dor crônica e relacioná-la a variáveis sociodemográficas, de características da dor e à presença de sintomas depressivos. Métodos: A amostra, de conveniência, foi de 132 sujeitos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram a Escala de Auto-Eficácia para Dor Crônica (AEDC) e o Inventário de Depressão de Beck (IDB). Resultados: O escore médio de auto-eficácia foi 170,8 (DP = 56,7). Auto-eficácia menor foi observada nos pacientes com até 8 anos de escolaridade, quando comparada à de pacientes com escolaridade entre 9 e 11 anos (p = 0,015). Auto-eficácia mais elevada foi observada nos doentes com dor menos intensa (p = 0,042). A Escala AEDC apresentou correlação negativa com o IDB (r = -0,48; p < 0,01). Conclusões: Os doentes com escolaridade de até 8 anos apresentaram auto-eficácia menor que os doentes que tinham entre 9 e 11 anos de escolaridade. Os pacientes com dor menos intensa e os doentes com menos sintomas depressivos apresentaram maior auto-eficácia. Salvetti, M.G. et al. / Rev. Psiq.

AbstractBackground: Self-efficacy is the belief about one's personal ability to perform a task or specific behavior successfully. Self-efficacy is a key concept to manage chronic diseases and the studies about it are insufficient in Brazil. Objective: To evaluate chronic pain patient's self-efficacy belief and relate to social demographic variables, pain and depressive symptoms. Methods: The convenience sample was 132 subjects. The instruments utilized were Chronic Pain Selfefficacy Scale (CPSS) in Portuguese version (AEDC) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results: The self-efficacy average score was 170.8 (DP = 56.7). Low self-efficacy was observed in 8 year education level patients compared to 9 to 11 year education level (p = 0.015). Higher self-efficacy was observed in patients with lower pain intensity (p = 0.042). The AEDC was negative correlated to IDB depression (r = -0.48; p < 0.01). Conclusions: Patients with 8 year education level showed low self-efficacy than patients with 9 to 11 year education level. Subjects with lower pain intensity and fewer depressive symptoms showed higher self-efficacy scores.
