ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the correction of self-efticacy with depression, anxiety and stress in dengue patients
Methodology: For this purpose a sample of 200 dengue patients [men = 132, women = 68] was employed from two different hospitals of Lahore by using purposive sampling technique of collect data. In order to measure self-efficacy of dengue patients General Self Efficacy Scale, and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale [DASS] was used to assess depression, anxiety and stress of dengue patients. Correlation and simple regression statistical techniques were used for data analyses
Results: Results depicted that self-efficacy has significant negative relationship with depression [r = -.42, p< .01], anxiety [r = -.49, p< .01] and stress [r = -.42, p< .01] in dengue patients. Regression coefficients of depression [3 = -.32], anxiety [p = -.24] stress [P = -.14] and overall combine effect of DASS [P = -.45] have negatively predicted self-efficacy of dengue patients
Conclusion: Self-efficacy has negative correlation with depression, anxiety and stress in dengue patients. Self-efficacy cannot be obtained in the presence of depression, anxiety and stress. These negative states [DASS] weaken self-efficacy of an individual
