Abstract

Background Patients' self-confidence in their abilities needs to be improved to achieve functional abilities after a stroke. Self-efficacy is a prerequisite for self-management after a stroke. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and the functional abilities of post-stroke patients. Methodology This was an analytical cross-sectional study conducted over two months. A total of 145 respondents were recruited using the convenience sampling method. Respondents were post-stroke patients who had undergone the post-stroke phase during the first three to six months since the acute stroke. Data collection was performed through questionnaire interviews. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and Spearman correlation. Results There was a significant positive relationship between self-efficacy and functional independence (p < 0.05). Conclusions Self-efficacy influences motivation to perform activities of daily living, which can increase the achievement of functional abilities.
