The aim of this study was to develop a scale to assess the self-efficacy of caregivers of individuals with serious mental illnesses and to determine its psychometric properties.
This study used a methodologic, cross-sectional, and descriptive design. A draft of a 26-item scale was developed based on interviews with caregivers and a literature review. The construct validity of the scale was tested by exploratory factor analysis. The reliability of the scale was tested. Caregivers of 348 individuals with serious mental illnesses participated in the study.
The exploratory factor analysis produced a 20-item scale defined by three factors. Reliability coefficient values were adequate.
The caregiver self-efficacy scale for caregivers of individuals with serious mental illnesses developed in this study is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used for measuring the self-efficacy of caregivers of individuals with serious mental illnesses.
