| Chronic Disease Self-Management Scale | baseline | The scale, developed to evaluate self-management in chronic diseases, consists of 23 items and four subscales: Self-Stigma, Coping with Stigma, Health Care Effectiveness and Treatment Compliance. Expressions on the scale are rated between 1-5; It can be converted into a 100-point system (1=0, 2=25, 3=50 and 4=75 and 5=100) to facilitate interpretation and comparison in evaluation. A high score in the Self-Stigma subscale indicates high self-stigma, a high score in the Coping with Stigma subscale indicates a high ability to cope with stigma, a high score in Health Care Effectiveness indicates high health care effectiveness, and a high score in Treatment Compliance indicates good compliance. It was determined that the 21-item scale, adapted to Turkish in 2021, showed a four-factor structure and Cronbach alpha coefficients ranged between 0.789 and 0.876. |
