We defined practical significance to a score difference of 10 units (ie, from 70 to 80) and found this level of difference in a number of PHP child and toddler pain management SE scores immediately after protocol introduction.…”

“…19 In addition, we were able to establish internal consistency, construct validity, content validity, and cross-validity for this tool. Self-efficacy judgments have a high level of congruency with performance, 10 as seen in prior studies evaluating a number of different health behaviors [11][12][13][14]43 and also in studies on SE in academics 14 and medical education. [18][19][20][21] These studies accepted various degrees of change as significant, ranging from 5% 21 to greater than 30%.…”

Associations with being physically active and the achievement of WHO recommendations on physical activity in people with spinal cord injury

“…18 In addition to the evidence that better self-efficacy is associated with higher PA levels, self-efficacy is considered an intervention target in health-promoting programmes. 31,32 Thus, our finding underscores the importance of considering self-efficacy when aiming to empower people with SCI to become or maintain PHYS-ACT.…”

Supported Rehabilitation for Individuals Who Have Experienced a Stroke: A Pilot Control Trial

“…Post stroke, the effects of services such as physiotherapy have on the psychosocial outcomes (this includes psychological and social constructs challenged by stroke that impact on an individual's mental well-being) 1 , in contrast to physical outcomes, is less understood [5] [6]. For the purpose of this paper, we will focus on three important psychosocial constructs which are influenced by rehabilitation interventions, these include self-efficacy [7] [8], falls self-efficacy [9] and social identity [10] [11].…”
