Abstract (576 Views)
Aims: This research investigated the relationships between self-efficacy and social support among users of prostheses post-lower limb amputation. Understanding these relationships is crucial for comprehending how individuals adapt to life post-amputation and how their perceived capabilities and social interactions influence their rehabilitation and overall well-being.
Instrument & Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted in Baghdad City at the Rusafa Health Department from October 1, 2023, to March 24, 2024. The study sample comprised 200 patients selected through the non-probability sampling method. The used questionnaire was validated by experts, and its reliability was confirmed through a pilot study. Data were gathered through interviews and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings: A notable percentage of lower limb amputees utilizing prostheses exhibited low self-efficacy (60%) and moderate social support (40.5%). Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed between social support and self-efficacy, particularly in managing fatigue (r=0.133), coping with pain (r=0.198), handling emotional distress (r=0.172), addressing other symptoms (r=0.180) and health issues, and overall self-efficacy (r=0.173).
Conclusion: Interventions focused on enhancing social support networks significantly enhance self-efficacy and overall well-being in this demographic, ultimately fostering improved adjustment and quality of life post-amputation.
