AB  - This study was designed to assess self-efficacy and the factors leading to higher 
      self-efficacy in Parkinson's disease patients, as measured by General 
      Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). Questionnaires were mailed to patients with 
      Parkinson's disease in Tokyo. This study surveyed 73 male and 70 female patients. 
      Approximately 66.5% of the patients fell into the low self-efficacy group. Data 
      was divided into 3 groups (high, moderate and low) and evaluated statistically. 
      Approximately 66.5% of the patients fell into the low self-efficacy group. 
      Patients in the high self-efficacy group exhibited the following features: Males: 
      1) The male patients in the high self-efficacy group tended to belong to more 
      groups and had less trouble than any other groups in coping with their daily 
      lives; 2) they generally had people to turn to for mental support outside their 
      families, and for their daily life inside or outside their families; 3) they also 
      felt confident that they had sufficient understanding of better life styles and 
      how to exercise. Females: 1) The female patients in the high self-efficacy group 
      tended to go out more often than any other groups and had places to go where they 
      could practice hobbies and exercise; 2) they generally had people outside their 
      families to turn to for mental support; 3) their subjective symptoms, such as 
      freezing and dysarthria, tend to be less acute than in the moderate or low 
      self-efficacy patients. 4) had les trouble than any other groups in coping with 
      their housing accommodations; 5) they also felt confident that they understood 
      how to exercise. In order to increase self-efficacy among Parkinson's disease 
      patients, this study suggests that support, both social and psychological, and 
      providing health education, are important.
