ABSTRACT
Disease progression and treatment in cancer patients can result in physical
weakness and psychological problems. This greatly affects the quality of life of
cancer patients. The aim of the research was to analyze the relationship between
self-efficacy and the quality of life of cancer patients undergoing therapy at the
Sedekah Rombongan Shelter Home in Surabaya.
Analytical descriptive research design with a cross sectional approach. Patient
population at the Surabaya Sedekah Rombongan Shelter Home. Samples were
taken between October and November 2023. The sampling technique used
incidental sampling of 52 respondents. The instrument uses the General Self
Efficacy (GSE) and WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire sheets . Data were analyzed
using the Spearman Rho correlation test.
The results showed that the majority of respondents had high self-efficacy
(78.8%), while the quality of life of most respondents was in the good category
(55.8%). Based on the results of the Spearman Rho test, it was found that ?
value = 0.000
(? < 0.05). So it can be concluded that there is a relationship between self-efficacy
and the quality of life of cancer patients.
Cancer patients who are undergoing therapy are expected to always instill
selfefficacy within themselves. Self-efficacy is closely related to the quality of life
of cancer patients. Patients with cancer who do not have self-efficacy will result in
a decrease in quality of life.
