What is Self‐efficacy, resilience and healthy ageing among older people who have an acute hospital admission: A cross‐sectional study about?

## Abstract ## Aim To examine the associations between self‐efficacy, resilience and healthy ageing among older people who have an acute hospital admission. ## Design A cross‐sectional study. ## Method**s** Survey and medical record data were collected from older people on discharge from hospital. The survey measured self‐efficacy with the 6‐item General Self‐Efficacy scale (GSE‐6), resilience with the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and healthy ageing with the Selfie Ageing Index (SAI). Medical record data included potential confounders: co‐morbidities, frailty items, previous falls and previous admission in the last 28 days. Multi‐linear regression and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were used to examine the independent associations between self‐efficacy, resilience and healthy ageing. ## Results Responses were received from 143 older people (mean age 79). After adjusting for potential confounders, co‐morbidities (__ß__ = ‐0.08, __p__ = 0.001) remained negatively associated with healthy ageing, while self‐efficacy (__ß__ = 0.03, __p__ = 0.005) and resilience (__ß__ = 0.05, __p__ < 0.001) remained positively associated with healthy ageing (__R__ ^2^ = 0.243). Positive correl
