The correlations between demographic factors, self-efficacy, and quality of life among Indonesian patients with ischemic stroke: A cross-sectional study
Abstract
Background Ischemic stroke is the primary cause of neurological disability and can lead to psychological issues that affect self-efficacy. Changes in self-efficacy, in turn, influence the overall quality of life. Although many studies have examined factors that affect self-efficacy, quality of life, or both, few have specifically explored the role of demographic factors in shaping the quality of life in patients with ischemic stroke. Objective This study aimed to identify the correlations between demographic factors, self-efficacy, and quality of life Indonesian in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 143 participants were recruited between February and April 2024 based on defined inclusion criteria. The research instruments included a demographic questionnaire, the Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, and the Specific Stroke Quality of Life Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, logistic regression, and Spearman rank test. Results The findings revealed that females were 2.213 times more likely (95% CI = 1.128–4.341; p = 0.031) to achieve high self-efficacy compared to males. Occupational status significantly influenced self-efficacy, with employed individuals being 6.333 times more likely (95% CI = 3.134–16.599; p <0.001) to achieve high self-efficacy. The duration of stroke experienced by respondents also had a significant impact, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.908…
