The Structural Equation Model on Self-efficacy During Post-op Rehabilitation Among Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients
Overview

Backgrounds: Self-efficacy plays an important role in pulmonary rehabilitation, but it is still unknown which factors exert their effects on postsurgical rehabilitation self-efficacy among non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. This study aims to assess relationships among physical function, social factors, psychological factors, quality of life (QOL) and self-efficacy, and the effects of these variables on self-efficacy among NSCLC patients.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to 238 postsurgical NSCLC patients (response rate 95.2%) at five tertiary hospitals in Fuzhou, China. the participants completed a pack of questionnaires. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to test the hypothetical model.
Results: The SEM results supported the hypothesized structural model (χ2/df = 1.511, p>0.05). The final model showed that confrontation coping, subjective well-being (SWB), social support, psychological growth (PTG) and anxiety and depression can be directly related to self-efficacy (coefficient = 0.335, coefficient = 0.288, coefficient = 0.150, coefficient = 0.024, and coefficient = -0.004, respectively, p<0.01). Confrontation coping also had indirect effect via SWB (coefficient = 0.085, p<0.01), which had indirect connection via PTG (coefficient = 0.005, p<0.01). Social support and anxiety and depression had indirect pathways as well. As expected, self-efficacy directly affected the quality of life.
Conclusions: This study suggests that higher confrontation coping style, SWB, social support, and PTG and lower anxiety and depression levels could effectively enhance their self-efficacy and consequently, improve QOL. These findings may help develop an intervention aimed at enhancing self-efficacy for this patient population.
