Brief Summary

The importance of lifestyle changes to control risk factors in the prevention, treatment and management of coronary heart disease (CHD), a major health problem, has been emphasised. In addition, physical, social, psychological and occupational limitations arising from the disease negatively affect the quality of life and self-efficacy perceptions of individuals, making it difficult to comply with treatment and disease management. There are general self-efficacy and self-management scales for which Turkish validity and reliability studies have been conducted previously. However, these scales are not specific to coronary heart disease patients and evaluate either only self-efficacy or only self-management. The aim of this study was to adapt the Heart Health Self-efficacy and Self-Management Scale (HH-SESM) into Turkish and to investigate its validity and reliability in patients with coronary heart disease. The study is conducted in Cardiology outpatient clinics of Karaman Training and Research Hospital. Before the study, the purpose and content of the study will be explained to the participants and an informed consent form will be obtained from the participants. Since the sample size in validity and reliability studies should be at least 10 times the total number of scale items, at least 120 individuals will be included in the study as the number of items x number of options (12 x 10 = 120). Detailed medical history and sociodemographic information (age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, disease duration (months), occupation, daily working hours, educational status, sports/exercise habits) will be recorded. In order to measure self-management and self-efficacy levels, patients will be administered the HH-SESM, Self-care management in chronic diseases scale- Self-care subgroup questions and General self-efficacy scales.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• validity and reliability of Turkish Heart Health Self-efficacy and Self-Management Scale

  It will be applied to the patients as a questionnaire in order to make the Turkish validity and reliability of the Heart Health Self-efficacy and Self-Management Scale. Scores ≥36 can be interpreted as high self-efficacy and high self-management. The scale consists of 12 items and is scored using a 4-point Likert system. But since there is also an invalid answer option, people can get a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 48. Scores ≥36 can be interpreted as high self-efficacy and high self-management. Scores between 24 - 35 can be interpreted as adequate self-efficacy and adequate self-management. Scores ≤24 can be interpreted as low self-efficacy and low self-management.

Interventions

Heart Health Self-efficacy and Self-Management Scale OTHER

In order to measure the self-management and self-efficacy levels of the individuals, patients will be administered the Heart Health Self-efficacy and Self-Management Scale.

people with coronary heart disease

Self-Care Management Scale in chronic diseases OTHER

For the external construct validity statistical method, the self-management level of the individuals will also be determined with the Self-Care Management in Chronic Diseases Scale, which has been previously validated and reliable in Turkish.

general self-efficacy scale OTHER

For the external construct validity statistical method, the self-efficacy level of the individuals will also be determined with the general self-efficacy scale, which has been previously validated and reliable in Turkish.
