Self-efficacy is needed as a basis for action and is defined as a person’s ability to take care of himself in order to achieve the expected results. Breast cancer patients need good self-efficacy to undergo treatment, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to describe the characteristics of breast cancer patients and their relationship with self-efficacy during treatment at the Dharmais Cancer Hospital. The study design used was cross-sectional, involving 107 cancer patients through consecutive sampling. Self-efficacy was assessed using the Cancer Behavior Inventory (CBI) instrument. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that as many as 69 respondents (64%) had low self-efficacy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that age (p = 0.008), employment status (p = 0.026), monthly income (p = 0.000), and ward (p = 0.031) had significant relationship to self-efficacy. Self-efficacy describes the optimistic perception of cancer patients being able to overcome their cancer-related stressors. In probable or confirmed cases of COVID-19, most patients will fall into a state of psychological crisis, unstable emotions, rejection, anger, and non-compliance with treatment. Education and counseling regarding self-efficacy are needed in an effort to increase the self-efficacy of breast cancer patients undergoing treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic at Dharmais Cancer Hospital Jakarta.

“…Susceptibility is a person’s beliefs regarding the possibility of facing a health threat. Self-efficacy is defined as “a person’s belief that he/she has the competence, determination, and commitment to perform the actions needed to achieve a desired result” [ 16 , 40 , 41 ]. In this context, it can be said that a woman’s belief in the possibility of her developing BC and in her ability to take action against the possibility of developing BC are strong determinants in the acquisition of cancer prevention behaviors.…”

In this study, we aimed to determine the breast cancer screening behavior of women and to investigate the relationship between health beliefs and screening behaviors. The study was cross-sectional. It was conducted between April 2017 and June 2017 with 416 women aged ≥40. The Sociodemographic Information Form and the Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale were used to collect data. In the statistical analysis, the number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson chi-square test, and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis were used. The rates for participating women performing breast self-examination, having clinical breast examination, and undergoing mammography were 11.8%, 8.9%, and 11.3%, respectively. Perceived susceptibility, seriousness, self-efficacy, benefits, health motivation, and perceived barriers were found to have strong associations with screening behaviors (p < 0.05). In this study, we found that few women performed breast self-examination, had clinical breast examination and mammography. In the present study, women perceived barriers related to both performing breast self-examination and undergoing mammography.
