ABSTRACT
Introduction: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) impairs all aspects of the patient's
life due to the decrease in physical function and lower quality of life, indicating an
overall decreased health status. Self-efficacy as a psychological factor plays an
important role in individuals maintaining a healthy lifestyle and improving their
health status. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between self-
efficacy and the health status of coronary artery disease patients.
Methods: This study used an observational analytic research design with a cross-
sectional approach. This study involved 112 respondents who were coronary
artery disease patients in RSD Dr. Soebandi Jember obtained through the incidental
sampling method. The data was collected using Cardiac Self-Efficacy (CSE) and
Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). The data analysis used the Spearman rank test
with a 95% CI.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between self-
efficacy and health status (p = 0,001, r = 0.307, α = 0,05). Self-efficacy was in good
category (71,41 points) while health status was also in the good category (79,56
points).
Conclusion: The low positive correlation between the two variables shows that
the higher the value of self-efficacy, the higher the value of health status. Good self-
efficacy through healthy living behaviors can increase the health status of coronary
heart disease patients. It is important for nurses to improve the psychological
aspect of the patients including self-efficacy when optimizing their self-care and
health status.
