Bandura's theory of self-efficacy has been applied in many areas of health education including smoking cessation, pain control, eating problems, cardiac rehabilitation, and adherence to regimens. Consequently, self-efficacy has emerged as an important concept with which health educators should be familiar. Self-efficacy refers to one's belief in the ability to do a specific behavior. Self-efficacy is a principle connection between knowledge and action since the belief that one can do a behavior usually occurs before one actually attempts the behavior. Self-efficacy also affects the choice of behavior, settings in which behaviors are performed, and the amount of effort and persistence to be spent on performance of a specific task. This article will examine self-efficacy theory, describe sources of self-efficacy, and present applications of self-efficacy theory.
班杜拉的自我效能理论已应用于健康教育的许多领域，包括戒烟、疼痛控制、饮食问题、心脏康复以及对治疗方案的依从性。因此，自我效能已成为健康教育工作者应熟悉的一个重要概念。自我效能是指个人对执行特定行为能力的信念。自我效能是知识与行动之间的主要联系，因为相信自己能够做出某种行为通常发生在实际尝试该行为之前。自我效能还会影响行为的选择、行为发生的环境，以及在执行特定任务时所投入的努力程度和坚持性。本文将探讨自我效能理论，描述自我效能的来源，并介绍自我效能理论的应用。
