The construct of perceived self-efficacy, proposed to explain the discrepancy between skill and actual performance, has received widespread attention in the psychological and medical literature. This paper describes the construct in detail, including the difference between self-esteem and perceived self-efficacy, and proposes a goodness of fit with occupational therapy practice. It is postulated that attention to the assessment and monitoring of perceived self-efficacy, along with the use of activities that closely approximate the actual activities to be performed in the community, will result in improved occupational performance and thus, better occupational therapy outcomes. Occupational therapists are challenged to identify and incorporate this construct into their day-to-day clinical programs to enhance treatment outcomes.
为解释技能与实际表现之间差异而提出的自我效能感这一概念，在心理学和医学文献中受到了广泛关注。本文详细描述了这一概念，包括自尊与自我效能感之间的差异，并提出了与职业治疗实践的契合度。据推测，关注自我效能感的评估和监测，以及使用与社区中实际要进行的活动密切相似的活动，将带来职业表现的改善，从而取得更好的职业治疗效果。职业治疗师面临的挑战是识别这一概念并将其纳入日常临床项目中，以提高治疗效果。
