A new scale measures exercise self-efficacy in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). This reliable tool supports health promotion programs by assessing confidence in exercise for individuals with SCI.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Health Psychology
  • Exercise Science

Background:

  • Spinal cord injury (SCI) increases secondary conditions, necessitating health promotion.
  • Healthy lifestyles, including exercise, benefit individuals with SCI.
  • Exercise self-efficacy is crucial for adopting exercise regimens but lacks validated scales for SCI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Develop and validate a psychometrically sound self-report measure for exercise self-efficacy in individuals with SCI.
  • Provide an appropriate measurement tool to support exercise interventions for SCI.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the SCI Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES) with 10 items on a 4-point Likert scale.
  • Administered the ESES in a nationwide survey (n=368) and tested validity in four SCI groups.

  • Assessed reliability and validity using Cronbach's alpha, split-half reliability, and factor analysis correlating with the Generalised Self Efficacy Scale (GSE).

    • Main Results:

    • The ESES demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = .9269) and scale integrity.
    • Split-half reliability was high (Spearman Brown = .8836).
    • The ESES showed satisfactory construct validity, correlating significantly with the GSE (Spearman RHO = .316, p < .05).

    Conclusions:

    • The SCI Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES) is a reliable and valid instrument.
    • The ESES possesses high internal consistency and satisfactory content and construct validity.
    • This scale can effectively measure exercise self-efficacy in individuals with SCI, supporting targeted interventions.
