Objective: Stroke may cause extensive brain damage that can hamper the patients’ mobility performance to carry out their daily activities. This study aimed to examine the links of mobility performance with the self-efficacy and characteristics of the stroke patients.

Method: A cross sectional survey was done at a hospital in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. A total of 106 respondents, recruited by using consecutive sampling, filled out the Stroke Self Efficacy and Barthel Index along with sociodemographic questionnaires. Results: Stroke onset, stroke type, employment status, and education level were found to have significant relationships with the mobility performance (p < 0.05). A significant relationship was also identified between the level of self-efficacy and mobility performance (p<0.001).  

Conclusion: Self-efficacy is linked with mobility performance of the stroke patients. Nurses should pay more attention in self-efficacy of the stroke patients during rehabilitation period.Keywords : stroke, self-efficacy, mobility performance, rehabilitation, Indonesia
