Cardiovascular Management Self-efficacy: Psychometric Properties of a New Scale and Its Usefulness in a Rehabilitation Context

Abstract

The Cardiovascular Management Self-efficacy Scale could be a helpful instrument to monitor differences during interventions to improve good disease management.

Instruments to assess self‐efficacy among people with cardiovascular disease: A COSMIN systematic review

“…It was devised in English, 25 and also has versions in Chinese 46 and Swedish 15 The Cardiovascular Management Self‐Efficacy Instrument: The Cardiovascular Management Self‐efficacy Scale 40 is used with patients with CVD. It was devised in Italian 40 …”

“… The Cardiovascular Management Self‐Efficacy Instrument: The Cardiovascular Management Self‐efficacy Scale 40 is used with patients with CVD. It was devised in Italian 40 The General Perceived Self‐Efficacy Scale (GSE): The GSE Scale 47 is used with patients with CVD.…”

“…Disease‐specific instruments provide holistic and faster evaluation on self‐efficacy 40 . As a consequence, disease‐specific self‐efficacy instruments would be more suitable in CVD 40 . In addition, for the validity and reliability of results and the effectiveness of interventions, the choice of a methodologically good‐quality measurement instrument in studies is important.…”

P5 eHealth: An Agenda for the Health Technologies of the Future

“…For example, people are more likely to quit smoking when they have strong beliefs about their ability to abstain from smoking and maintain abstinence (Gwaltney et al 2013). Furthermore, self-efficacy beliefs seem to shape the relationship between perceived health satisfaction and illness severity in cardiovascular diseases Steca et al 2013Steca et al , 2015. As we will deepen in the next section, eHealth interventions have been developed by taking advantage of the technical capabilities of web-based and mobile technologies to track real-time behavioral and health information, involve the healthcare providers, leverage peer and social influence, and increase the accessibility of health information to deliver more effective preventive interventions (Klasnja and Pratt 2012).…”

The Prevention of Chronic Diseases Through eHealth: A Practical Overview

“…For example, people are more likely to quit smoking when they have strong beliefs about their ability to abstain from smoking and maintain abstinence (Gwaltney et al 2013). Furthermore, self-efficacy beliefs seem to shape the relationship between perceived health satisfaction and illness severity in cardiovascular diseases (Greco et al 2015;Steca et al 2013Steca et al , 2015. As we will deepen in the next section, eHealth interventions have been developed by taking advantage of the technical capabilities of web-based and mobile technologies to track real-time behavioral and health information, involve the healthcare providers, leverage peer and social influence, and increase the accessibility of health information to deliver more effective preventive interventions (Klasnja and Pratt 2012).…”
