Basic Information

Abbreviated name
SES6G
Full name
Self-efficacy Scale for Chronic disease 6 item scale
Items ?
The number of questions in the survey
6
Short description
Developed and validated by the Stanford Patient Education Centre. Evolved from several scales used in a chronic disease management study by Lorig et al (2001). It covers several domains that are common to a several types of chronic disease such as symptom control, role function, emotional functioning and communication with health care practitioners. Each of the 6 items are rated from 1 (not at all confident) to 10 (totally confident). The overall score is dervied from the mean of the 6 items. Higher scores indicate self-efficacy (Langweiler & McCarthy, 2015).
PCCC or QoL? ?
This compendium contains patient-reported measures that are either designed to specifically measure aspects of Person Centred Co-Ordinated Care (P3C), or alternatively tools that are designed to measure some aspect of Quality of Life (QoL) or Health Related Quality of Life (hrQoL). All the measures in this compendium have been broadly categorised into one of those two concepts.
Person Centred Coordinated Care
Main Domains Measured ?
This is the key domains that the measure is targeting.
Symptom control, emotional functioning, communication
Type of measure ?
The measures in this compendium can take a variety of forms. Generally, they will be either Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) or Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM). However, we have also included a few measures that are completed by proxy-individual (PROXY), which are useful in instances where the respondent cannot answer directly (e.g. dementia or end of life). Sometimes, these measures can even be a composite of these types, and target both experiences and outcomes – we have labelled these measures “PROEMs”.
PREM
Respondent ?
The person that fills in the questionnaire - e.g. patient, Health Care Professional, or proxy (normally a carer or family member)
