Background/A Skills that enable the maintenance of productive relationships with clients are an essential aspect of therapeutic practice and include the use of therapeutic modes appropriate to clients' needs. The therapist requires a certain level of self-efficacy in order to use therapeutic modes in client–therapist interactions. Recently, a tool was developed to assess therapists' self-efficacy in the use of therapeutic modes. The structure of factors within and internal consistency of the self-efficacy for therapeutic mode use tool was examined. Methods Occupational therapists (n=51) from the UK and Iran completed the self-efficacy for therapeutic mode use assessment tool and provided sociodemographic information. The structure of factors was examined using principal component analysis and parallel analysis; internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's α and inter-item correlation. Results Parallel analysis suggested that the preferred structure has only one factor, explaining 55.2% of data variance. The items' factor loadings ranged between 0.67 and 0.80, and the scale had a Chronbach α of 0.83. Conclusions The sum of the scale scores can be useful in occupational therapy research and audits focusing on self-efficacy in the use of therapeutic modes in practice.

The purpose of this study was to determine key concepts of self-efficacy for sleep hygiene among young adults/college students and sleep experts, and to refine the Self-Efficacy for Sleep Hygiene Inventory. The Self-Efficacy for Sleep Hygiene Inventory was revised using input from young adult focus groups and experts. Information from focus groups informed instrument revision. The revised instrument was distributed using an electronic survey to young adults age 18–26 years for a total sample of 296. A principal component analysis with Varimax Orthogonal Rotation was conducted resulting in a three-factor solution. Cronbach’s alphas were: .85 for Behaviors to Adopt (nine items), .79 for Manage Mindset and Environment (eight items), .70 for Behaviors to Avoid (eight items), and .88 for the inventory (twenty-five items). Initial psychometric testing of the Self-Efficacy for Sleep Hygiene Inventory-Revised indicates that it is a reliable measure of self-efficacy for sleep hygiene in young adults age 18–26 years.

This cross-sectional study aims to describe the self-care of adult African immigrants in the US with chronic illness and explore the relationship between acculturation and self-care. A total of 88 African immigrants with chronic illness were enrolled. Self-care was measured with the Self Care of Chronic Illness Inventory v3 and the Self-Care Self-Efficacy scale. Scores are standardized 0 to 100 with scores >70 considered adequate. Acculturation was measured using a modified standardized acculturation instrument and predefined acculturation proxies. The self-care scores showed adequate self-care, with the mean scores of 78.6, 77.9, and 75.6 for self-care maintenance, monitoring, and management. Self-care self-efficacy mean score was 81.3. Acculturation was not significantly associated with self-care. Self-care self-efficacy was a strong determinant of self-care maintenance ( p < .0001), monitoring ( p < .0001), and management ( p < .0001). The perception of inadequate income was a significant determinant of poor self-care management ( p = .03). Self-care self-efficacy and perceived income adequacy were better determinants of self-care than acculturation.

Coronavirus has emphasized the importance of nursing contributions and their integral participation in interdisciplinary leadership teams providing patient care in healthcare organizations. Workforce shortages of qualified nurses in healthcare with technology skills are necessary to maintain a high level of patient care and healthcare operations. A validated instrument, Healthcare Information System Self-Efficacy Perception, was created providing a self-assessment tool for measuring an older working nurse's perception of self-efficacy of healthcare information system training within a healthcare environment. The study was the first of its kind to recognize the salient training differences that existed for older workers in a healthcare setting. The instrument was developed using a focus group, pilot study, and validated with registered nurses (RN) in a single healthcare organization. The sample (N=162) was assessed using an online survey tool. After face validity was established for HISSEP, a principal component factor analysis was conducted to determine content validity.

Abstract Background Implementation science comprises a large set of theories suggesting interacting factors at different organisational levels. Development of literature syntheses and frameworks for implementation have contributed to comprehensive descriptions of implementation. However, corresponding instruments for measuring these comprehensive descriptions are currently lacking. The present study aimed to develop an instrument measuring care providers’ perceptions of an implementation effort, and to explore the instrument’s psychometric properties. Methods Based on existing implementation literature, a questionnaire was designed with items on individual and team factors and on stages of change in an implementation process. The instrument was tested in a Norwegian study on implementation of evidence based practices for psychosis. Item analysis, factor structure, and internal consistency at baseline were examined. Results The 27-item Implementation Process Assessment Tool (IPAT) revealed large variation between mean score of the items. The total scale scores were widely dispersed across respondents. Internal consistency for the total scale was high (Cronbach’s alpha: .962), and all but one item contributed positively to the construct. The results indicated four underlying constructs: individual stages for behavioural change, individual activities and perceived support, collective readiness and support, and individual perceptions of the intervention. Conclusions The IPAT appears to be a feasible instrument for investigating the implementation process from the perspective of those making the change. It can enable examination of the relative importance of factors thought to be essential for implementation outcomes. It may also provide ongoing feedback for leaders tailoring support for teams to improve implementation. However, further research is needed to detect the instrument’s properties later in the implementation process and in different contexts.

Medication nonadherence remains a significant obstacle to achieving improved health outcomes in patients with chronic disease. Self-efficacy, the confidence in one’s ability to perform a given task such as taking one’s medications, is an important determinant of medication adherence, indicating the need for reliable and valid tools for measuring this construct. This study sought to develop a self-efficacy scale for medication adherence in chronic disease management that can be used in patients with a broad range of literacy skills. The Self-efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use (SEAMS) was developed by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in medication adherence and health literacy. Its psychometric properties were evaluated among 436 patients with coronary heart disease and other comorbid conditions. Reliability was evaluated by measuring internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Principal component factor analysis was performed to evaluate the validity of the SEAMS. Reliability and validity analyses were also performed separately among patients with low and higher literacy levels. The final 13-item scale had good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.89). A two-factor solution was found, explaining 52.3% of the scale’s variance. The scale performed similarly across literacy levels. The SEAMS is a reliable and valid instrument that may provide a valuable assessment of medication self-efficacy in chronic disease management, and appears appropriate for use in patients with low literacy skills.

Abstract Background Multiple factors have challenged the surgical training which led to the development of the instructional videos to hasten the proficiency in performing surgical procedures. However, their educational effect has not been objectively studied yet. This study aims at objectively assessing the effect of instructional videos along with the subjective assessment of the self-efficacy of the training residents. The videos used were selected from YouTube, which is a valuable resource currently because of its ubiquitous availability and cost effectiveness. Methods A stratified randomized controlled trial was performed using an objective assessment tool for the procedural knowledge along with a questionnaire to assess the effect of videos on the perceived self-efficacy of the residents. Results There was a significant positive effect of watching instructional videos on the procedural knowledge. Even though residents report positive experience with using the videos, there was no significant effect of videos on the self-efficacy scores as reported by the residents. Conclusion instructional videos improved the procedural knowledge of the residents. This positive observation of the use of the YouTube videos offers great opportunities for the educationalists to select from thousands of videos instead of making the videos themselves.

This article describes two studies investigating the reliability and factorial validity of scores on the Self-Esteem Questionnaire (SEQ) for assessing self-evaluations relating to peers, school, family, sports/athletics, body image and global self-worth in South African adolescents. Participants were 900 learners enrolled in Grades 8 and 11 at public schools In Cape Town, and 116 Grades 8 and 11 learners attending independent schools. The results provided general support for the six-factor structure proposed by DuBois, Feiner, Brand, Phillips and Lease (1996) and indicated that SEQ scores have good internal consistency and adequate test-retest reliability for English-speaking South Africans. However, minor revisions are needed for all scale scores to have acceptable internal consistency when translated into isiXhosa or Afrikaans.

The purpose of this study was to examine further the factorial validity of the Self-efficacy Scale via component and subsequent correlational analyses. 651 undergraduates enrolled in an introductory psychology course voluntarily completed the Self-efficacy Scale and the Bem Sex-role Inventory. A principal component analysis with an orthogonal rotation produced a two-factor solution which was remarkably similar to the factor structures reported previously. The two factors (General Self-efficacy and Social Self-efficacy) accounted for about 34% of the total variance. Further, the correlation coefficients indicated that General Self-efficacy was more strongly related to masculine traits than to feminine traits, as defined by the Bem Sex-role Inventory.

Abstract Background In chronic diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), self-efficacy is one of important health outcomes. The IBD-Self-Efficacy Scale (IBD-SES) is an outcome measure used in research settings. In this study, we aimed to develop a Japanese version of IBD-SES and investigate the self-efficacy of IBD patients in Japan. Methods We conducted a questionnaire survey with IBD patients from two different sources: outpatients of a specialized IBD clinic and respondents recruited online. The original 29-item IBD-SES, with scores from 1 (not at all) to 10 (totally) in each item, and higher scores indicating greater self-management efficacy, was translated into Japanese with permission of the original author and was used for the surveys after confirming its linguistic equivalence with the original version. The reliability of the scale was assessed by calculating the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for internal consistency, and the validity was assessed by disease activity (remission vs. active period) for known-group validity. Items of IBD-SES score comparison between the outpatient clinic group and online group were performed by t-test. Results A total of 919 valid responses were obtained, 482 patients (ulcerative colitis (UC): 184, Crohn’s disease (CD): 298) from the specialized IBD clinic and 437 (UC: 255, CD: 182) online. The mean score per item for each subscale [Stress & Emotion Management], [Outpatient care & medication management], [Symptom & disease management] and [Maintenance of remission] was 4.7, 7.3, 4.9, and 4.9, respectively. Internal consistency was confirmed on each subscale (Cronbach’s α: 0.85–0.94). Comparing remission and active periods, significant differences were observed in three subscales: [Stress & Emotion Management (p &lt; 0.001)], [Symptom & disease management (p &lt; 0.001)] and [Maintenance of remission (p &lt; 0.001)], and the known group validity was mostly confirmed. Conclusion This study demonstrates the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the IBD-SES and reveals the current status of self-efficacy of the self-management of IBD patients in Japan. Compared to previous studies using IBD-SES in the USA or Canada, scores observed with Japanese IBD patients are lower. It might reflect a cultural difference.
