Gözüm et al. (2008) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=140). Turkish version of the Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (MASES) was evaluated on Reliability and validity of the Turkish adaptation of MASES (Reliability coefficient 0.92). The Turkish adaptation of the Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale demonstrated high internal consistency (reliability coefficient 0.92) and valid factor structure in hypertensive patients.
