Self-Efficacy for Coping with Breast Cancer Treatment Among Spanish-Speaking Latinas.

ABSTRACT: Background: Cancer-related self-efficacy, a multidimensional construct, is the confidence that one can overcome challenges associated with cancer and its treatment; higher levels have been associated with better psychosocial outcomes of breast cancer survivors.
