Abstract

Background & Aim: CAREGIVERS of elderly with ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE, particularly females, encounter challenges. Their different roles in giving care to the patients could result in physical and mental disorders. The self-efficacy seems to be an essential factor in empowering individuals coping with stressful situations and challenging tasks. The aim of this study was to investigate GENERAL SELF-EFFICACY among women as family CAREGIVERS of elderly with ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE.Methods & Materials: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 112 women referred to the Iran Alzheimer Association, Tehran were selected through convenience sampling method. The GENERAL SELF-EFFICACY Scale (GSE-10) was used to collect data. Data were entered into the SPSS-16 and then processed using descriptive statistics and independent t-test, ANOVA and Scheffe.Results: The mean score of the GENERAL SELF-EFFICACY was 28.24±6.34 indicating that considerable percentage of the participants had unsatisfactory level of self-efficacy (65.2%). In addition, there were significant relationships between the women’s GENERAL SELF-EFFICACY with educational and economic statuses (P<0.05). There were no significant relationships between GENERAL SELF-EFFICACY with age, marital status, occupational status and duration of caring.Conclusion: According to the findings, a considerable percentage of the participants had unsatisfactory level of self-efficacy. Therefore, it is essential to promote the CAREGIVERS self-efficacy in order to give them the ability of better adaptation with the life’s challenges. In particular, the self-efficacy promotive programs should be implemented among CAREGIVERS with lower educational and economic status.
