Self-efficacy and Pressure Ulcer Prevention after Spinal Cord Injury – Results from a Nationwide Community Survey in Switzerland (SwiSCI)

Pressure ulcers (PUs) are a common and severe health condition in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Skin-care strategies for PU prevention are usually provided during first rehabilitation. However, individuals with SCI often do not perform these strategies continuously, especially after discharge. The influence of psychological factors such as general self-efficacy (GSE) on the performance of PU prevention behavior has not yet been sufficiently explored.
