Sixty patients were randomly allocated into two groups of 30 participants each as experimental and control groups the former received education on health promotion strategies and the latter was treated according to the ward's routine. Self efficacy was compared between the two groups before and thirty days after the intervention. Data were analyzed by SPSS11.5 statistical software using descriptive statistics, independent and paired t-test, covariance analysis and chi-square.
