General self-efficacy was associated with age, gender, educational level and satisfaction of rest-home nursing (P<0.01), but the relationship between self-efficacy, marital status and duration of living residential home nursing was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Moreover, general self- efficacy was mostly related with sex (&beta;=-0.541, P=0.0001) Conclusion: The present study provided useful information about self-efficacy and its related factors among elderly living residential home.
