Abstract：Objective To explore the correlation between self-efficacy and dietary self-management in patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS). Methods A total of 110 NS patients admitted to Huaian First People’s Hospital in Jiangsu Province from January 2019 to February 2021 were randomly selected as research objects. Demographic data, scores of general self-efficacy scale (GSES), and scores of total score and diet-related self-management items were collected by questionnaire after admission. Patients were divided into two groups according to GSES scores. The low performance group was included in the GSES score ≤25 points, and the high performance group was included in the GSES score ＞25 points. The scores and total scores of each item of diet-related self-management were observed in the two groups, and the correlation between patients’ self-efficacy and the level of diet self-management was analyzed. Results There were significant differences in education level and family support between the two groups (P＜0.05). The scores and total scores of each item of diet-related self-management ability in high-performance group were higher than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05). The correlation coefficients ρ of each item of patients’ self-efficacy and diet-related self-management ability were 0.350-0.923, respectively (P＜0.05). Conclusion There is a certain relationship between the self-efficacy of NS patients and the level of dietary self-management. Clinical improvement of patients’ self-efficacy can promote the improvement of their dietary self-management level, which can provide guarantee for patients’ disease control.
