A new 14-item scale measures self-efficacy in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use among women aged 50+. The tool, comprising efficacy beliefs and outcome expectations, demonstrates good reliability for HRT interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Endocrinology
  • Women's Health

Background:

  • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a common treatment for menopausal symptoms.
  • Assessing self-efficacy is crucial for understanding patient adherence and treatment outcomes.
  • Existing instruments may not adequately capture self-efficacy specific to HRT use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and psychometrically evaluate a novel instrument to measure self-efficacy in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use.
  • To adapt Bandura's self-efficacy construct for the context of HRT.
  • To provide a reliable tool for assessing women's confidence in HRT management.

Main Methods:

  • Scale development based on Bandura's self-efficacy theory.
  • Psychometric evaluation including construct validity (factor analysis) and internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha).

  • Sample comprised 116 women aged 50+ who were current or past HRT users.

    • Main Results:

    • Factor analysis identified two key factors: Efficacy Beliefs in HRT (EBs-HRT) and Outcome Expectations in HRT (OEs-HRT).
    • The developed tool consists of 14 items: 8 for EBs-HRT and 6 for OEs-HRT.
    • Both subscales and the total instrument exhibited good internal reliabilities.

    Conclusions:

    • The newly developed 14-item instrument effectively measures self-efficacy related to HRT use in postmenopausal women.
    • The EBs-HRT and OEs-HRT subscales provide specific insights into women's confidence and expectations regarding HRT.
    • This validated tool has implications for designing targeted HRT interventions and improving patient care.
