self efficacy

"self efficacy" OR self-efficacy OR "patient activation" OR "self care" OR self-care

I haven't really worked on this list.  The "patient activation" phrase came up today at work and I wanted to make a record of this phrase, which was new to me, before I forgot it.  Additions to this list are welcome, as always.
