“…The SEPRS 23 is a 14-item self-report scale measuring confidence in one's own ability to engage in specific behaviours relating to personal recovery from serious mental illness. Two introductory items broadly reflect self-efficacy for personal recovery (for example ‘How confident are you that in the future you will be able to live a satisfying life alongside any mental health problems you may have?’) and self-management (for example ‘How confident are you that you can do things to manage any future mental health difficulties?’), with 12 subsequent items targeting domains highlighted as important in recovery (connectedness, identity, meaning, empowerment; for example ‘Develop a view of myself beyond being a psychiatric patient’).…”

BackgroundMental health patients can experience involuntary treatment as disempowering and stigmatising, and contact with recovered peers is cited as important for countering stigma and fostering agency and autonomy integral to recovery.AimsTo advance understanding of the interaction between involuntary treatment and contact with recovered peers, and explore hypothesised relationships to mechanisms of self-evaluation relevant to recovery.MethodEighty-nine adults diagnosed with serious mental illness completed items to assess involuntary treatment experience and the extent of prior contact with recovered peers, the Internalised Stigma of Mental Illness Scale, the Self-efficacy for Personal Recovery Scale, the Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery and relevant demographic and clinical scales.ResultsContact with recovered peers was found to moderate the effects of involuntary treatment on internalised stigma. Sequential conditional process models (i.e. moderated mediation) then demonstrated that conditional internalised stigma (i.e. moderated by contact with recovered peers) mediated the indirect effect of involuntary treatment on recovery-specific self-efficacy, which in turn influenced recovery. Compared with those with low contact with recovered peers, recovery scores were 3.54 points higher for those with high contact.ConclusionsAlthough study methods limit causative conclusions, findings are consistent with proposals that contact with recovered peers may be helpful for this patient group, and suggest this may be particularly relevant for those with involuntary treatment experience. Directions for future research, to further clarify measurement and conceptual tensions relating to the study of (dis)empowering experiences in mental health services, are discussed in detail.

“…Self-efficacy is defined as a person's beliefs about their abilities to produce indicated levels of performance that could influence their life 11 . In persons with schizophrenia, the level of self-efficacy was lower than the general population 12 . Self-efficacy reported being correlated with the low social functioning 13,14 .…”

Background: Loneliness in persons with schizophrenia have shown associate with depression and promotes suicide among persons with schizophrenia. Individual and environmental factors are also recognized as related factors. The environmental factors are lack of social scope and support. While one of the individual factors is self-efficacy. Objective: To determine the level of loneliness among persons with schizophrenia in Indonesia, and to evaluate the relationship of loneliness with sociodemographic characteristics and clinical factors, and to assess the modifying effects of self-efficacy. Methods: This study was a correlational study with 132 respondents. Correlation analyses were performed to examine the relationship between loneliness and self-efficacy using The UCLA Loneliness Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) questionnaire to collect the data. Results: This study found that the mean of loneliness among persons with schizophrenia score was 46.05 (SD = 7.16). There were no relationships between several sociodemographic characteristics and clinical factors to loneliness, however, there was a negative correlation between self-efficacy and loneliness among persons with schizophrenia (ρ = -0.180, p-value = 0.04). Conclusion: There was a correlation between self-efficacy and loneliness among persons with schizophrenia. Therefore, it is recommended that mental health professionals provide sources of self-efficacy to minimize loneliness in this population. Keywords: loneliness; self-efficacy; schizophrenia, mental illness

“…Self-efficacy theory postulates that "self-efficacy is not simply a correlate of functioning, but actually contributes to it by mediating the relationships between other variables and functioning" (p. 194) [38]. Following the self-efficacy theory [10,11], it is possible that self-efficacy, as a protective factor, mediates the effects of coping styles and efforts for coping with psychiatric illnesses on daily functioning and successful adjustment [38,39]. It is also possible that it mediates the influences of stressors and disease-related distress on functional and well-being outcomes [40].…”

There is growing evidence on the relevance of self-efficacy for well-being and functioning among individuals with psychotic disorders, but specific self-efficacy for coping with stress has rarely been investigated. This study explored the outcomes of an intervention for the improvement of coping resources based on a training in coping skills and coping with stress self-efficacy (CSSE). Fourteen adult volunteers who were diagnosed with schizophrenia (n=12) or schizoaffective disorder (n=2) were matched in clinical and sociodemographic characteristics and randomly assigned to the study groups. The intervention group received the training along with their pharmacological therapy; the control group received their prescribed drug therapy. Participants completed self-reports on CSSE, perceived successful daily functioning based on coping skills, and clinical status (BPRS-E). Trained patients showed a significant increase in CSSE and reported greater successful functioning status, and significant improvements in their clinical status were also observed. All these enhancements remained at 3-month and 6-month follow-ups. Control participants showed no significant changes. Moreover, the intervention condition interacted with CSSE and perceived coping functioning in explaining improvements in clinical status: in the treatment group, greater CSSE translated into enhanced daily functioning, and this improvement predicted better clinical status. These findings stress the relevance of promoting coping resources in psychotic disorders and provide preliminary evidence for the potential benefits of CSSE.
