Parental Measure of Self-Efficacy to Manage a Child’s Health Conditions
This Parental Self-Efficacy Measure is the first condition-agnostic, patient reported outcome (PRO) measure of parental self-efficacy managing their children’s chronic and/or disabling conditions that is acceptable and understandable to English- and Spanish-speaking parents.
Self-efficacy is someone’s confidence in completing a task. The self-efficacy of parents that manage their children’s health conditions can be evaluated with the Parental Self-Efficacy measure.
This measure can be used to assess the level of parental self-efficacy at discrete points in care, to proactively identify parents in need of additional supports, and in the case of a child being newly diagnosed with a chronic condition, to identify parents who have not yet had to interface heavily with the healthcare system.
This measure is phrased to ask about a parent’s current confidence level at a discrete point in case, so it can be used as a one-time cross-sectional measurement or repeated longitudinally over time to assess for improvements in a parent’s self-measured self-efficacy.
