Self-efficacy

confidence in a domain-specific area regarding ones ability to perform a task or behavior.

List 4 types of self-efficacy and provide an example of how they improve self-efficacy in patients with hearing loss

1) Vicarious: watching the audiologist or peer change the battery and the patient realizes they would be able to do that on their own.


2) Verbal persuasion: The audiologist/peer praises the patient on hearing aid insertion and the patient feels more confident when they put it in.


3) Physiologic and affective state: Battery insertion is practiced in the office with good lighting and with a magnetic tool the patient will take home. The patient will perform battery removal/insertion in a similar environment and feels comfortable performing the task.


4) Mastery experience: Patient performs task and feels comfortable doing it. Has confidence they can do it again.

How can we assess self-efficacy in our patients?
