Implication

Self-efficacy was associated with walking post-cardiac surgery; hypothesis-generating for sex-specific interventions but should not yet change practice.

Population

199 elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass and valve replacement), mean age 75.8 years, 76% male.

Outcome

Trajectories of self-efficacy expectation (SEE) and self-reported (SR) walking behavior performance over the first postoperative year, and their predictors.patient reported

Self-efficacy expectation is a strong predictor of walking behavior in elderly patients recovering from cardiac surgery, highlighting a need for targeted interventions in older females who exhibit persistently lower recovery trajectories.
