Methodology: In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, data were collected on purpose from 329 patients with chronic conditions who presented to Kathmandu Medical College's Medical Outpatient Department. The Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale and the Patient Assessment Chronic Illness Care Questionnaire were used in face-to-face interviews to collect data. Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis H tests were used to calculate the association with chosen socio demographic variables. The average age of the patients was 6213 years. Males, those who worked, those who were never admitted to the hospital for their sickness, and those who exercised were found to have higher levels of self-efficacy. Age, education, marital status, carers, and body mass index all had a substantial impact on self-efficacy. Monthly family income had a substantial positive association with self-efficacy.
