Why the study?
Does self-efficacy predict physical and role function in patients with clinically significant coronary disease?
Does self-efficacy predict physical and role function in patients with clinically significant coronary disease?
Self-efficacy independently predicts physical and role function in coronary heart disease patients, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target.
May inform prognosis in coronary disease; leaves open whether targeting self-efficacy improves function in trials.
Self-efficacy to maintain function and to control symptoms helps predict the physical function and role function, after accounting for coronary disease severity, anxiety, and depression in patients with clinically significant coronary disease. Interventions to improve self-efficacy may have a broader applicability in the heart disease population than previously appreciated.
