High self-efficacy - a predictor of reduced pain and higher levels of physical activity among patients with osteoarthritis: an observational study.
Åsa DegerstedtHassan AlinaghizadehCarina A ThorstenssonChristina Birgitta OlssonPublished in: BMC musculoskeletal disorders (2020)
Self-efficacy at baseline was associated with change over time in pain and physical activity at 3 and 12 months after the supported osteoarthritis self-management programme. High self-efficacy had a positive effect on pain and physical activity, indicating the need for exploring and strengthening patients' self-efficacy. Patients with obesity may need further interventions and support during a self-management programme to achieve an increase in physical activity.
