Abstract: (30 Views)
Background: Patients with central nervous system (CNS) injuries in intensive care units (ICUs) often face reduced self-efficacy, which negatively affects rehabilitation. Despite the potential benefits of educational interventions, evidence on their effectiveness in improving self-efficacy in this group is limited.
Objectives: This study evaluated the impact of structured education on self-efficacy among ICU patients with CNS injuries
Materials & Methods: This experimental study was conducted in 2025 at a teaching hospital in Lahore, Pakistan, involving 60 patients with CNS injuries admitted to the ICU. Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group received self-efficacy training, while the control group did not. Data were collected using the Scherer’s self-efficacy questionnaire. Statistical analyses, including descriptive and inferential methods, were performed using SPSS software, version 26.
Results: The difference in the mean self-efficacy between the two groups, intervention and control, was not statistically significant (P>0.005) before the intervention. However, after the intervention, the difference in the mean self-efficacy was statistically significant (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Considering that self-efficacy in patients with CNS injuries is a crucial component of their treatment and care, it is recommended that targeted educational programs be implemented to enhance and develop this important factor.
