Abstract

Introduction. Adaptive self-efficacy develops in each family member influenced by certain factors. Improving family self-efficacy by recognizing the influence factors is health-related behavior that can build stronger families to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined factors that influenced family self-efficacy during the new normal era of pandemic COVID-19 in the Eastern region of Java Island, Indonesia. Material and methods. A cross-sectional study was performed among 347 families. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure sociodemographic data, the risk for COVID-19, personal risk for COVID-19, a family of APGAR, Spirituality, and self-efficacy. The logistic regression analysis determined the factors that influenced the family self-efficacy during the new normal era of pandemic COVID-19. Results. There was a significant correlation between risk for COVID-19, a personal risk factor for COVID-19, a family of APGAR, Spirituality, and family self-efficacy (p<0.05). Spirituality (OR = 1.602; 95% CI= 0.450 – 3.019) and family of APGAR (OR=2.534; 95% CI= 18.84 – 23.69) were influenced by family self-efficacy. Conclusions. Spirituality and family of APGAR are influenced by family self-efficacy during the new normal era of pandemic COVID-19. Therefore, home health care during the pandemic COVID-19 should be an intervention to support the self-efficacy of the family.
