Wheelchair Skills and Self-Efficacy Study

This study examined the relationship between self-efficacy and wheelchair skills in 123 manual wheelchair users aged 50 or older. Participants completed questionnaires assessing their self-efficacy for wheelchair mobility and self-management, and their ability across 32 wheelchair skills (23 basic and 9 advanced). A positive correlation was found between wheelchair mobility self-efficacy and skills (r=0.7), but a weaker correlation between self-management self-efficacy and skills (r=0.39). The results indicate that 25% of participants reported low self-efficacy despite high skills, while 24.4% reported low self-efficacy and skills.

Reference 7 :Prevalence of Low Mobility and Self-Management

Self-Efficacy in Manual Wheelchair Users and the


Association With Wheelchair Skills

This paper association to study the relationship between self efficacy –self managements with wheel
chair skills
[3] Self-efficacy : specific to wheelchair use is a new construct defined as the belief individuals have in
their ability to use their wheelchair in a variety of challenging situations (SakakibaraBM,2013)

[6] 39%of wheel chair users have low wheel chair use self efficacy (Miller WC,2012)
Participants:
 Sample size is =123 and 50 or larger in age
 Had at least 6 months of experience with manual wheel chair
 were able to communicate in either English or French
 Individuals with a Mini-Mental State Examination score <23

Method:
The data collected by using questionnaire which consist of 32 skills 9 of them is advance but 23
is basic indoor and community skills (to measure the relationship between self efficacy and
wheel chair skills ) and 21 items which divided as 13 for mobility and 8 for self managements
The method use is Pearson correlation coefficient

Result:
 The Pearson correlation between wheel chair mobility self efficacy and wheel chair skills is
r=0.7
 but The Pearson correlation Self managements and self efficacy and wheel chair skills is
r=0.39
Result

 25% reported as low self efficacy and high skills


 24.4% reported as both low wheel chair mobility and self efficacy with low skills
 30% discordant self management /self efficacy with wheel chair skills
 8.1% had lower efficacy than skill
 9%low efficacy and wheel chair skills with low self managements
