The structural equation model on self-efficacy during post-op rehabilitation among non-small cell lung cancer patients.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

Self-efficacy plays an important role in pulmonary rehabilitation, but it is still unknown which factors exert their effects on postsurgical rehabilitation self-efficacy among non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. This study aims to assess relationships among physical function, social factors, psychological factors, quality of life (QOL) and self-efficacy, and the effects of these variables on self-efficacy among NSCLC patients.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was administered to 238 postsurgical NSCLC patients (response rate 95.2%) at five tertiary hospitals in Fuzhou, China. the participants completed a pack of questionnaires. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to test the hypothetical model.

Results

The SEM results supported the hy
