Adaptation and Self-Efficacy in the Management of Coronary Heart Diseases

Abstract

Coronary heart disease is an important health problem all over the world due to its high mortality and prevalence. Physical, social, psychological and occupational constraints affect individuals' quality of life and self-efficacy perceptions negatively and make difficult adaptation of treatment. Today, the importance of lifestyle changes is emphasized to control risk factors in coronary heart disease. The concept of "self-efficacy" has an important place in achieving and adopting lifestyle changes. Self-efficacy is defined as "the belief that one can initiate an action that can be effective on what is happening around him or her and continue until the outcome is achieved". It is seen that the evidence-based interventions implemented by health personnel are effective in reducing post-discharge complications, increasing the quality of life and self-efficacy levels, and adapting to lifestyle changes.
