A better self-efficacy is predictive of better health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: data from the Almenara Lupus Cohort
Authors' conclusion
A better self-efficacy is predictive of subsequent better HRQoL, even after adjustment for possible confounders.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with SLE from the Almenara Lupus Cohort
- Participants
- 209 patients564 visits
- Outcome
- HRQoL (SF-36 PCS and MCS) at the subsequent visit, predicted by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) self-efficacy domains at the previous visit
- Follow-up
- Subsequent visit
Methodological detailslongitudinal, generalised estimating equations, multivariable models adjusted for possible confounders
- Longitudinal
- Generalised estimating equations
- Multivariable models adjusted for possible confounders
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Predictors of HRQoL (multivariable models)
- Better PCS predicted by better self-efficacy for managing symptoms, managing medications and treatments, managing social interactions and general self-efficacy
- Better MCS predicted by better self-efficacy for managing daily activities, managing symptoms, managing medications and treatments and managing social interactions
Observational data: associations, not effects.
