Abstract
PURPOSE: To examine the validity and reliability of the Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale-Korean Version (CDSES-K) in 380 Korean adults with three chronic diseases: arthritis, diabetes, and hypertension. METHODS: The Korean translated CDSES-K was back-translated to ensure translation equivalency. A methodological research DESIGN: The factor analysis identified eight CDSES-K factors explaining 72.5% of the total variance. The internal consistency reliability for the total instrument was high with Cronbach's alpha of .93. CONCLUSION: The results support the cross-cultural applicability of the concepts underlying the CDSES-K and the self-efficacy transcends across cultures. IMPLICATIONS: The CDSES-K can be used not only to assess self-efficacy in Koreans with chronic diseases but also to examine the potential function of self-efficacy in improvement of self-management behaviors and enhanced health status of people with chronic diseases in a variety of clinical settings.
