Abstract
Background: The use of the concept of self-efficacy is still an interesting topic of discussion in various scientific disciplines, especially the self-efficacy of families as caregivers of older adults at risk of falling. This concept analysis aimed to address fundamental gaps in understanding self-efficacy among family caregivers of older adults at risk of falls.
Methods: We reviewed and analyzed thirteen relevant articles on self-efficacy in family caregivers of older adults at risk of falls using Walker and Avant’s (2019) eight-step approach. A literature search to identify the concept of self-efficacy was conducted using Scopus, ProQuest, ClinicalKey Nursing, PubMed, and dictionary databases. Researchers did not limit the period for article publication and used all self-efficacy concepts from various scientific disciplines.
Results: Analysis of the concept of self-efficacy has identified antecedents including experience, social influence, physiological and affective states, and behavior (knowledge, attitudes, and skills). Producing four attributes, namely beliefs, ability to overcome problems, ability to take action, and achieve certain goals. The ability to identify consequences, including increased family support, decreased incidence of falls, improved health of older adults, and healthy behaviors.
Conclusion: The concept of self-efficacy analysis of family caregivers with older adults at risk of falling has provided an understanding of the beliefs held by individuals or families about their ability to cope with problems and take action in efforts to prevent falls, so that family self-efficacy can be an important predictor in seeing the success of fall prevention in older adults at home.
