abstract = {Background: Self-efficacy is associated with functional capacity and quality of life in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients.Aims and Objectives: The present study was designed to examine the validity and reliability of the~General Self-Efficacy scale (GSE) responses in Greek patients with COPD.Methods: The GSE scale (n=50) was examined for construct and criterion validity as well as internal consistency.Results: Principal Components Analysis (PCA) revealed a two (2) factors solution (action self-efficacy and coping self-efficacy with eigen values 1.65 and 5.31 respectively) and with 69.67% total variability. Higher GSE scores were found in the following groups: a) smokers versus non-smokers (p<0.001), b) patients without visiting the emergency department versus patients with 1-2 visits in the last year (p<0.001), c) patients with regular follow-up versus patients with follow-up only in deterioration of symptoms (p<0.001), and d) among patients of the four quarters of the BODE index (F=2.89},
