[BELIEF IN OUR ABILITY: SELF EFFICACY] 🧠 _ 👉🏻What Is Self-Efficacy? It has been defined as ‘the belief in one’s abilities to organise and execute the courses of action required to manage prospective situations’ 🧐 _ 👉🏻More simply self-efficacy is a person’s belief in his or her ability to succeed in a particular situation. This belief in turn determines how we in turn can think, behave, and feel 👀 _ 👉🏻An individual’s self-efficacy plays a major role in how goals, tasks, and challenges including injuries are approached 🎯 _ 👉🏻 People with a strong sense or high levels of self-efficacy: . ▶️View challenging problems as tasks to be mastered . ▶️ Develop deeper interest in the activities in which they participate . ▶️ Form a stronger sense of commitment to their interests and activities . ▶️ Recover quickly from setbacks and disappointments _ 👉🏻People with high efficacy approach difficult tasks as challenges to be ‘mastered’ rather than as threats to be ‘avoided’ which in turn lowers vulnerability to depression ⬇️⬇️ _ 👉🏻Not surprisingly higher levels of self efficacy have been associated with better rehabilitation outcomes ⬆️💪🏻 _ 👉🏻Evidence suggests that self-efficacy can play an essential role as a protective factor + a ‘mediator’ in the relationship between pain & disability 🔁 _ 👉🏻 A 2018 published systematic review* which looked at the role of self-efficacy on the prognosis of chronic musculoskeletal pain concluded that high levels of self efficacy increased 1-5 listed in the infographic above☝🏻 _ 💻*Ref: The Role of Self-Efficacy on the Prognosis of Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain: A Systematic Review. Martinez-Calderon, Javier et al. The Journal of Pain, Volume 19, Issue 1, 10 - 34 _ 👉🏻Big thanks to @shoulder_physio for bringing this paper to my attention at recent ‘Shoulder Rehabilitation’ workshop 💡 _ 📌TAKE HOME: if injured be aware that your beliefs in your ability to contribute to a positive rehabilitation outcome matter. It’s important to work with a practitioner who promotes & fosters higher levels of self efficacy through their language & guidance 🗣✅
