| Abstract | ||
| Background: Self-efficacy is of particular importance in conditions that need rehabilitation such as neck pain. Aim: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of enhancing the self-efficacy of patients with neck pain on their functional disability. Setting & sample: the study was conducted at the inpatient and outpatient sections in Al-kasr Al-Aini Hospital, affiliated to Cairo University using a quasi-experimental design with pre-post assessment on 40 adults having non-traumatic neck pain. Tools: the data were collected using a selfadministered questionnaire that included Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale and the Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale. The nursing intervention consisted of individualized educational sessions about proper body mechanics, isometric exercise, hot and cold application. The effect of the intervention was evaluated by the same questionnaire. The fieldwork started in May and ended in November 2010. The results demonstrated significant improvements in the scores of Copenhagen scale after the intervention; the median total score decreased from 21 to 12 (p<0.001). Self-efficacy scores also improved; the median total score increased from 31.0 to 57.7 (p<0.001). Regression analysis identified self-efficacy score as an independent statistically significant negative predictor of Copenhagen score, indicating less disability. Conclusion: study findings lead to the conclusion that a nursing educational program focused on improving the self-efficacy of the patients with neck pain led to improvement in their functional disability. Recommendations: The study recommends further confirmation of the study findings through a randomized clinical trial. Moreover, validation of the tool in the local context is proposed. | ||
