Examination of Self-Efficacy and Participation Restrictions in Y and Z Generations

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the self-efficacy and participation restrictions of individuals in the Y and Z generations. 
Materials and Metods: Participation Scale was applied to evaluate the participation of individuals in the Y and Z generation included in the study. Self-efficacy of individuals in Generation Y was assessed with Self-Efficacy Scale, participants in Generation Z was assessed with Secondary School Self-Efficacy Scale. 40 individuals from generation Y and Z were included in the study. 
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the mean self-efficacy scores of individuals in the Y and Z generations (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the participation restrictions in the Y and Z generations (p<0.05) The relationship between self-efficacy and participation restriction in generation Y and Z was found to be statistically significant (p<0.001). 
Conclusion: Individuals in the Z generation tend to experience more participation restriction due to them taking part in the high school entrance exam, being financially dependent on family for activities they want to participate in, and undergoing adolescent mood swings. Therefore, it is believed that planning and developing occupational therapy interventions to increase the participation of individuals in this population will be beneficial.
