The present study aimed to clarify features of self-efficacy for self-care behaviors in patients with chronic renal failure during the conservative phase, and to determine potential methods for raising self-efficacy for self-care behavior. During routine appointments at 4 hospitals, 76 patients with chronic renal failure in the conservative phase completed the scale of self-efficacy for health behaviors in patients with chronic disease developed by Kim et al. Factor analysis revealed self-efficacy for self-care behaviors of patients with chronic renal failure in the conservative phase comprised four factors: 1) mental management for disease acceptance; 2) behaviors associated with receiving medical treatment based on trust in medical staff; 3) behaviors associated with lifestyle management; and 4) behaviors associated with observing disease progress. Age displayed correlations with self-efficacy score. Significant relationships were observed between 2) and employment status, which might therefore influence total self-efficacy score. The present study indicated that support for lifestyle management requires consideration of patient background, age and employment status.
