Validation of an 18-item version of the Swedish Knee Self-Efficacy Scale for patients after ACL injury and ACL reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the measurement properties of a new version of the Swedish Knee Self-Efficacy Scale (K-SES) in samples of individuals with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and after ACL reconstruction. A secondary aim was to translate the new version of K-SES into English in order to prepare for future complete cross-cultural adaptation.

Methods

The reliability, structural validity, internal consistency and construct validity of the new, 18-item version of the K-SES (K-SES₁₈) were assessed according to the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist for evaluating methodological quality. The Swedish version of the K-SES₁₈ was translated to English using recommended guidelines.
