Abstract

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) severely impacts mobility and sensory functions, leading to long-term disabilities and decreased quality of life. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of self care activities among patients with spinal cord injuries and to examine association of self efficacy with self-care activities of patients with SCI.

Materials & Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample size of 196 participants, employing a consecutive sampling technique at the Paraplegic Centre in HayatAbad, Peshawar. Ethical approval was obtained from Ethical Review Committee of Khyber Medical University. Data were collected through validated tools; the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) was used to assess self-care activities, while the Mindfulness-Based Self-Efficacy Scale Revised (MSES-R) was used to assess Self efficacy. Data were analyzed by SPSS Version-24.

Results: Most participants (83.2%) were male, while 16.8% were female. In terms of education, 39.8% were uneducated, 25.5% had completed matriculation, and 2.0% had graduated or attained higher education. The average age was 36.94 ± 12.8 years. The mean self-efficacy score was 62.58 ± 8.669, and the mean score FIM score was 25.28 ± 8.50. A significant positive correlation was found between the variables (r = -0.132, p < 0.003).

Conclusion: The study concludes that self-efficacy positively influences self-care activities in patients with spinal cord injuries. It recommends that policymakers and health professionals prioritize support for these patients to help them achieve greater independence in self-care.
