Self Efficacy What is self efficacy? What is self esteem? What is self image?

Self Efficacy Ones judgment or conviction that one can successfully execute the behavior required to produce the outcomes. Versus Outcome expectations Is a persons estimate that given behavior will lead to certain outcomes. This model suggests that there is a difference between a patients beliefs regarding how the world works (outcome expectations) and beliefs about what they can or cant do (self efficacy).

Self Efficacy With this model a clinician attempts to understand the probability of a particular patient following through on a behavior. Low self efficacy has a higher probably of the patient doesnt following through, they probably will not return, health will not improve and/or desired expectation will not be reached. As such, it can moderate your goals. Recognizing and using this concept with your patients allows therapists to communicate in a common language with your patient. Therefore, you will be talking with your patient and not to your patient.

Self Efficacy Indirectly, this addresses the issue of regarding clinicians making assumptions regarding their patients being able to answer clinical questions regarding their OWN BEHAVIOR. High self efficacy tends to equate to greater perseverance
