This study developed a reliable and valid self-management skills (SMS) scale. Higher SMS scores correlate with better smoking cessation behavior and program outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Health Psychology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Self-management skills (SMS) are crucial for health behavior change.
  • Assessing SMS is important for targeted health interventions.
  • Existing scales may not fully capture the nuances of self-management in health contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a self-reported scale for assessing self-management skills (SMS).
  • To evaluate the scale's utility in health services and education.
  • To examine the relationship between SMS scores and behavioral changes in smoking cessation participants.

Main Methods:

  • A preliminary 20-item SMS scale was adapted from existing self-control and life skills measures.
  • A 10-item final SMS scale was refined and tested for reliability and validity in college students.

  • The final SMS scale, along with measures of self-efficacy and smoking cessation behavior, was administered to 501 smokers in a cessation campaign.

    • Main Results:

    • The 10-item SMS scale demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.75) and test-retest reliability.
    • SMS scores positively correlated with age and self-efficacy for smoking cessation.
    • Lower SMS scores were associated with higher dropout rates from the smoking cessation program.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed SMS scale exhibits acceptable reliability and validity.
    • The SMS scale is a potentially valuable tool for health education and services.
    • SMS scores are indicative of health behavior and program adherence, particularly in smoking cessation efforts.
