This article reviewed and analyzed 39 studies on self efficacy theory applied to health related behavior. The following analysis was done : 1) study subjects 2) measurement tools 3) analysis according to the type of research design(intervention re-search, explanatory research). Some findings are summarized as follows : The study subjects were both healthy people in various developmental stages and patients with various illnesses. The health related behaviors examined in the studies were also various including exercise, smoking cessation, self care behaviors, etc. The measurement of self efficacy was done with specific tools in most studies. In the tools, activities that measured the health behavior domain were listed according to increasing difficulty or contexual arrangement or in combination of both of them The analysis of 17 intervention research studies showed that generally the intervention program increased the self efficacy level of subjects and then the increased strongly self efficacy influenced behavioral changes. Most studies used more than one intervention method for increasing the self efficacy level. these were derived from sources of self efficacy suggested by Bandura. The analysis of 21 explanatory research studies showed that self efficacy strongly influenced behavior change and persistence. The major independent variable to affect the self efficacy was performance accomplishment in the past. Self efficacy explained more of the variance in health related behavior when it was applied with the variables in the health belief model, health promotion model, and reasoned action theory. On the basis of the above findings, the following suggestions are made : 1. For a desirable research design, self efficacy should be the intervening variable. That is, desirable designs would include intervention-self efficacy-behavior in intervention research studies and antecedent-self efficacy-behavior in explanatory research studies. 2. More prospective, longitudinal studies are needed to test the effect of self efficacy on persistence in health related behavior. 3. Studies comparing the effects of intervention methods are needed for each health related behavior, subject group, and context. 4. It is necessary to develop a reliable, valid measurement tool for self efficacy for each health related behavior. 5. Studies to differenciate the effect of self efficacy from that of outcome expectation on the health related behavior are necessary. 6. The antecedents of self efficacy should be investigated further.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of self-efficacy promotion programs on self-efficacy, self-care behavior, and quality of life in breast cancer patients receiving radiation therapy. Methods: This study was conducted from November 1, 2009 to December 10, 2010. A total of 39 breast cancer patients, who received radiotherapy in a University hospital located in city B, participated in the study and were divided into two groups (experimental group 17 and control group 22). The data were analyzed with the ${\chi}^2$-test and ANCOVA using the SPSS/Win 17.0 program. Results: Self-efficacy promotion programs aimed at self-management were effective in enhancing concrete self-efficacy but not effective in promoting general self-efficacy, self-care behavior, and quality of life among breast cancer patients who have received radiotherapy. Conclusion: Organizing a support group for the breast cancer patients seems to be highly necessary to help themselves obtain higher level of specific self-efficacy, self-care behavior, and quality of life in general. It will also be beneficial for the breast cancer patients to understand their unique situations and improve their health problems for themselves.

Purpose : This study examined how of nursing students affects their academic self-efficacy and communication ability on self-leadership. Methods : The subjects of this study included 269 nursing students enrolled in a college located in City B, South Korea during a period between June and July 2021. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 22.0 program to compute frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation and conduct t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Results : The nursing students had average academic self-efficacy of 3.10±.42, communication ability of 3.78±.53, and self-leadership of 3.16±.44. Among the self-leadership sub-factors, self-reward was the highest with 3.94±.74 points. The academic self-efficacy of the subjects demonstrated a significant difference according to happiness index (F=8.83, p<.001) and health (F=3.38, p=.035). The communication ability showed a significant difference depending on year of study (F=5.62, p<.001), happiness index (F=5.95, p<.001), and experience of clinical training (t=-3.57, p<.001). The self-leadership demonstrated a significant difference according to year of study (F=4.28, p=.006), satisfaction with major (F=7.37, p<.001), happiness index (F=3.68, p=.013), and experience of clinical training (t=-3.41, p<.001). A positive correlation was observed between the subject's academic self-efficacy and communication ability (r=.40, p<.001), as well as the academic self-efficacy and self-leadership (r=.45, p<.001). The communication ability (𝛽=.36, p<.001) was proven to be the strongest influential factor on the self-leadership, followed by academic self-efficacy (𝛽=.28, p<.001), satisfaction with major (𝛽=.13, p=.011), and experience of clinical training (𝛽=.13, p=.013). Conclusion : This study results imply that repeated studies that investigate the nursing students' academic self-efficacy, communication ability, and self-leadership are required. Furthermore, efforts should be made to develop programs aimed at enhancing nursing students' academic self-efficacy, communication ability, and self-leadership.
