Purpose: To explore whether self- efficacy influence’s goal attainment in people with stroke in a self- management study. Methods: This study was completed on 19 stroke survivors, 7 females and 12 males, the mean age was 67.7 (+_15.2) with ages ranging from 36-87 (51 years). The control group received standard NHS care only post stroke, whereas the intervention group received a self- management programme on top of their NHS care. Completed data collection of Stroke Self Efficacy Questionnaire (SSEQ), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at the 0- and 3-month mark and Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) at the 3-month mark. Data collection involved psycho-social testing including MoCA and GHQ-12; to study the influence of self-efficacy and related factors on attainment of goals. Results : Significant positive correlation found between GAS and SSEQ in the control group (p<0.05). No significant correlation found between GAS and SSEQ in the intervention group. Conclusion : Self- efficacy does have a positive influence on goal attainment in people with stroke during their rehabilitation. However, more research is required, with higher numbers of participants to confirm this theory
