Abstract

Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and outcome expectation of the Body Mass Index in the elderly population. Methods: This research is an analytical observational study conducted with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling was done by consecutive sampling technique with a total of 118 samples (61.7 ± 8.3 years; 153.7 ± 8.3 cm; 60.5 ± 12.7 kg; BMI = 25.5 ± 4.6 kg/m2). Data analysis in this study uses the Pearson product-moment correlation technique. Results: The results of this study show a significant negative relationship between self-efficacy dimension 1 and BMI because of the value of sig. < 0.05, r count is negative and r count < r table -0.1809. There is a significant negative relationship between self-efficacy dimension 2 and BMI because of sig value. < 0.05, r count is negative and r count < r table (-0.203 < 0.1809). There is a significant negative relationship between 3rd dimension self-efficacy and BMI because of the value of sig. < 0.05, r count is negative and r count < r table -0.278 < -0.1809. There is a significant negative relationship between the outcome expectation (positive) and BMI because of the sig. < 0.05, r count is negative and r count < r table -0.205 < 0.1809. There is a significant positive relationship between the outcome expectation (negative) and BMI because of the sig. < 0.05, r count is positive and r count > r table (0.523 > 0.1809). Conclusion: It can be concluded that self-efficacy in doing physical activity and understanding the benefits obtained after doing sports has a significant relationship with BMI values in the elderly.
