Determination of body image and self-efficacy levels in patients after cornea transplantation. Enfermeria clinica (English Edition), 34(1), 49–55. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enfcle.2023.10.0071130-8621https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enfcli.2023.10.003Purpose: The study aimed to determine body image and levels after surgery in cornea transplant patients. Materials and methods: The population of this cross-sectional study was composed of 383 patients presented to the Eye Bank unit of a University Hospital after corneal transplantation. Sample size of 193 patients was calculated with 0.5 power, a margin of error of 5%, representing 95% of the universe. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews with the patients by the researcher and the study was completed with 178 patients in September - November 2022. The data were collected using a Patient Information Form, the Body Image Scale, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Parametric tests, Pearson Correlation, Student's T-test, and One-Way Analysis of Variance tests were performed were used in the data analysis. Results: It was determined that the mean Body Image Scale score of the transplant patients participating in the study was 159.41 ± 36.99 and the mean Self-Efficacy Scale score was 30.37±8.31. When the comparison of the mean scores was examined, the difference between the mean scores of gender, marital status, occupation, and body image scale was statistically significant (P < .05), while the difference between the self-efficacy mean scores was not statistically significant (P > .05). There was a positive, moderately strong significant relationship between body image and the self-efficacy of the patients (P < .01) (r = .57) Conclusion: It was found that the patient's body image and self-efficacy levels were high, and self-efficacy increased as the body image increased. © 2023 Elsevier España, S.L.U.en10.1016/j.enfcli.2023.10.003info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBody ImageCornea TransplantSelf-EfficacyArticle2-s2.0-85182207029
