Structured PICO

Are the SMAS and SMAS-S valid instruments to evaluate self-management abilities among older patients shortly after hospitalisation?

Population

older patients shortly after hospitalisation

Intervention

Self-management ability scale (SMAS) and shorter scale (SMAS-S)

Outcome

Psychometric propertiespatient reported

The SMAS-S is a promising, valid shorter instrument to evaluate self-management abilities in older patients post-hospitalization.

Abstract

The psychometric properties of both the SMAS and SMAS-S are good. The SMAS-S is a promising alternate instrument to evaluate self-management abilities.
