Adaptation, Validity and Reliability of Unidimensional Self-Efficacy Scale for Multiple Sclerosis (USE-MS) in Turkish
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, demyelinating, autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. Despite functional limitations and unpredictable disease course, individuals with MS are aimed to maintain different levels of independence according to the level of disability. It is aimed to develop interventions that aim to increase self-efficacy levels and participation in daily life in individuals with this diagnosis. The Unidimensional Self-Efficacy Scale for Multiple Sclerosis (USE-MS) is a self-efficacy scale developed specifically for individuals with MS and answered based on patient declaration. The aim of this study is to adapt the USE-MS scale into Turkish and to establish its validity and reliability.
