Psychometric Validation of the Self-Efficacy for Restricting Dietary Salt in Hemodialysis Scale

Abstract: The development and progression of left ventricular hypertrophy is a consequence of multiple comorbid conditions associated with end-stage renal disease and large variations in interdialytic weight gains. The literature suggests that dietary sodium restriction alone significantly reduces interdialytic weight gains. A total of 124 hemodialysis participants in an ongoing randomized control trial participated in the validation in which psychometric properties of a self-efficacy survey were a secondary analysis.

“…Dietary self-efficacy was analyzed at baseline using an investigator-developed 15-item survey. 23 For this report, dietary self-efficacy was calculated as the unweighted sum of 7 items regarding confidence to follow dietary sodium restriction. Using an 11-point Visual Numeric Scale with responses ranging from 0 (not confident at all) to 100 (very confident), participants were asked to indicate their level of confidence that, in the next month, they would be able to limit sodium intake, avoid canned food, avoid table salt, limit processed meat, read food labels for sodium information, limit salty food, and limit fast food.…”

“…In the first section measuring women’s nutritional knowledge was regarding the relationship between high salt intake and diseases. Each correct response received the score of 1 [46]. The other question was related to the presence of someone in the family who had limitations on salt intake.…”

“…Self-efficacy is a well-established construct of Social Cognitive Theory, and refers to an individual's confidence that he or she can successfully engage in a specific behavior or achieve a desired goal [7]. Participant self-efficacy is a strong predictor of engagement in self-management strategies for managing chronic diseases [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Self-efficacy theory posits that an individual's belief in his or her own ability to engage in behavior change is a strong determinant of actual behavior change.…”
