Background & Objectives: Air pollution in Tehran is one of the main problems of this city. Self-care includes all activities related to maintaining health, prevention and treatment of diseases by It becomes the person. Self-efficacy is a person's confidence in the ability to perform specific behaviors in specific situations. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and self-care among students of Iran University of Medical Sciences.
Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 300 students in Iran University of Medical Sciences were selected by simple multi-stage random sampling method. Then the data through Stata software version 14 data were analyzed by using analytical tests.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of perceived self-efficacy score in the studied students were 23.1 ± 2.1 and the mean and standard deviation of the self-care score in the studied students was 31.1 ± 2.3. There was a statistically significant relationship between self-efficacy with gender (P = 0.014) and income level (P = 0.028). Only a statistically significant relationship was observed between self-care and the educational level of the studied students (P = 0.003). Also, a statistically significant relationship was observed between self-efficacy and self-care using Fisher test (P> 0.02).
Conclusion: Perceived self-efficacy about maintaining health during air pollution and self-care during air pollution is insufficient in the studied students and in designing promotional interventions to increase self-efficacy, boys and students with lower income should be emphasized and to increase self-care in these students. Also emphasize on increasing self-efficacy.
