Cross-cultural adaptation and measurement properties of the Dutch knee self efficacy scale (K-SES).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Self-efficacy is related to outcome after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. The Knee Self Efficacy Scale (K-SES) available in Swedish and English, was developed to measure self-efficacy in present (K-SES_present) and future (K-SES_future) functioning. The objective of this study was to determine measurement properties of the K-SES in Dutch patients.

Methods

The K-SES was translated and structural validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and measurement error were assessed in three patient samples: one group completed the questionnaire and additional measures pre-surgery (N = 200), and one group post-surgery (N = 58). The third group (post-surgery) completed the K-SES twice (N = 50).
