Amblyopia is an acquired defect due to a lack of visual stimulation. Self-efficacy is one of the factors affecting the quality of life (QoL) of individuals. Low self-efficacy can decrease cognitive and behavioral functioning, whereas increased self-efficacy leads to a change in treatment acceptance behavior and, subsequently, physical and mental health. This study aimed to determine the QoL and self-efficacy in adolescents with amblyopia. This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 300 patients referred to hospitals affiliated with Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Iran, between 2015 and 2016. Data collection tools included: 1) demographic questionnaire, 2) general self-efficacy scale, and 3) WHO QoL questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS software 24 using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the mean percentage in QoL was 45.43% (weak), and the mean score in self-efficacy was 21.66%, with a standard deviation of 8.10. There was also a positive and significant relationship between patients' self-efficacy and QoL on each dimension. This study showed that demographic characteristics had no significant relationship with any of the variables of QoL and self-efficacy. However, data analysis showed a significant and positive relationship between self-efficacy and QoL.
弱视是一种由于缺乏视觉刺激而导致的后天性缺陷。自我效能感是影响个体生活质量 (QoL) 的因素之一。自我效能感低会降低认知和行为功能，而自我效能感的提高会导致治疗接受行为的改变，进而影响身心健康。本研究旨在确定弱视青少年的生活质量和自我效能感。本描述性横断面研究于 2015 年至 2016 年在伊朗马什哈德医科大学附属医院对 300 名患者进行。数据收集工具包括：1) 人口统计学问卷，2) 一般自我效能感量表，和 3) WHO QoL 问卷。使用 SPSS 软件 24 进行数据分析，采用描述性统计。结果表明，QoL 的平均百分比为 45.43%（较弱），自我效能感的平均得分为 21.66%，标准差为 8.10。患者的自我效能感与 QoL 的每个维度之间也存在正相关关系。本研究表明，人口统计学特征与 QoL 和自我效能感的任何变量均无显著关系。然而，数据分析显示自我效能感与 QoL 之间存在显著正相关关系。
