Self-efficacy

Self-Efficacy is part of the social-cognitive theory defined as the belief that one can successfully cope with challenging situations and attain certain goals. It has been suggested this principle can be applied to physical and psychological quality of life in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The variety and severity of symptoms in MS, often not visible to other people, coping mechanisms may be compromised and disrupt many aspects of life from personal (family and relationships) to professional (employment). This may impact an individuals’ self-efficacy. the variety and severity of symptoms in MS, often not visible to other people, coping mechanisms may be compromised and disrupt many aspects of life from personal (family and relationships) to professional (employment). This may impact an individuals’ self-efficacy. Individuals with strong self-efficacy beliefs will more likely set higher personal goals believing they will successfully achieve them. In contrast, someone with low self-efficacy beliefs will be more likely to set lower personal goals, as they do not believe they will be able to achieve high objectives. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between physical activity level and self-efficacy with components of QOL. Our hypothesis is that individuals with low self-efficacy would also report decreased quality of life and have less participation in physical activities.
