  1. Self Efficacy Scale

This section MUST be answered by the participant, NOT the POA, legal rep, or responsible party.

  • Is the participant cognitively intact and able to provide efficacy information?
    • If the participant is cognitively able to provide answers, select “Participant is cognitively intact and able to provide efficacy information”
    • If the participant is is too cognitively impaired to answer these questions, select “There is documentation to support that the participant is too cognitively impaired

The following questions of this section must be answered by the participant. Have them give an answer from 1-10
“1” represents “not at all confident” and “10” represents “totally confident”

  • How confident do you feel that you can keep the fatigue caused by your disease from interfering with the things you want to do?
  • How confident do you feel that you can keep the physical discomfort or pain of your disease from interfering with the things you want to do?
  • How confident do you feel that you can keep any other symptoms or health problems you have from interfering with the things you want to do?
  • How confident do you feel that you can keep the emotional distress caused by your disease from interfering with the things you want to do?
  • How confident do you feel that you can do the different tasks and activities needed to manage your health condition so as to reduce your need to see a doctor?
  • How confident do you feel that you can do things other than just taking medication to reduce how much your illness affects your everyday life?
