“…HIV treatment adherence self-efficacy was measured using the 12-item HIV Treatment Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (HIV-ASES) 24 without modification. The scale has an 11-point Likert response format, with a possible range of scores from 0 ("cannot do at all") to 10 ("completely certain can do").…”

“…The psychometric properties of the instrument, including content validity, construct validity and internal consistency and stability, were established. 24 Participants were asked: "How confident are you that you can do the following?" Participants who scored 5 and higher for each of the 12 items on the HIV-ASES scale were categorised as having a high score and those who scored 4 and below, a low score.…”

“…14,17,18 These cognitive variables have been shown to be associated with medication adherence in chronic medical conditions. [19][20][21][22][23][24] Adherence self-efficacy is a known predictor of a wide range of health behaviour by patients on chronic medication, including medication adherence. 21,25 There is strong evidence that cognitive variables, such as self-efficacy, have an influence on adherence in HIV-infected patients.…”

“…21,25 There is strong evidence that cognitive variables, such as self-efficacy, have an influence on adherence in HIV-infected patients. 24,25 Having positive or negative beliefs about medicine is another variable that influences the cognitive perspective of health behaviour. It describes a person's beliefs about the potential costs and benefits of taking medication, and it is an important factor that has influence on medication use behaviour.…”

Background: Self-efficacy and medication beliefs are known factors that influence adherence to treatment in chronic medical conditions. We carried out a cross-sectional study on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with the aim of determining the predictive relationship between these two variables and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) at a health facility in Pretoria. Method: Participants' medication beliefs were assessed using the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire. Self-efficacy was evaluated using the HIV Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale, and adherence to ART determined using the AIDS Clinical Trial Group questionnaire. Results:The mean age of the 232 participants was 40 years (standard deviation 15.6). Seventy per cent were females. Most had been on ART for over two years (87%), and 81.5% were adherent to at least 95% of the prescribed antiretroviral drugs. Nonadherence was highest in those on ART for more than three years (63%). The mean HIV Adherence Self-Efficacy score was 6.45 out of a possible 10. Beliefs held by the participants about the importance of (necessity) and concerns about ART in the management of HIV infection were generally positive. There was a mean score of 4.05 out of 5, indicating a strong belief in the use of ART. There was a strong association between adherence self-efficacy and ART adherence (p < 0.001) in the nonadherent participants. Regression analysis showed significance for adherence self-efficacy on ART nonadherence (p < 0.041), with adherence self-efficacy explaining 9.8% of the variance. Conclusion: Patients' adherence self-efficacy explained a significant portion of variation in the nonadherence to ART, which suggests that low adherence self-efficacy is influential in ART nonadherence. Interventions aimed at improving adherence to ART should address adherence self-efficacy.

“…Studies have linked self-efficacy to various health promotion behaviours such as treatment and medication adherence for HIV (Ammassari et al, 2002;Johnson et al, 2007). A limited number of studies, which are reviewed here, have begun to examine self-efficacy among TB patients.…”

SummaryTuberculosis (TB) researchers and clinicians, by virtue of the social disease they study, are drawn into an engagement with ways of understanding illness that extend beyond the strictly biomedical model. Primers on social science concepts directly relevant to TB, however, are lacking. The particularities of TB disease mean that certain social science concepts are more relevant than others. Concepts such as structural violence can seem complicated and off-putting. Other concepts, such as gender, can seem so familiar that they are left relatively unexplored. An intimate familiarity with the social dimensions of disease is valuable, particularly for infectious diseases, because the social model is an important complement to the biomedical model. This review article offers an important introduction to a selection of concepts directly relevant to TB from health sociology, medical anthropology and social cognitive theory. The article has pedagogical utility and also serves as a useful refresher for those researchers already engaged in this genre of work. The conceptual tools of health sociology, medical anthropology and social cognitive theory offer insightful ways to examine the social, historical and cultural dimensions of public health. By recognizing cultural experience as a central force shaping human interactions with the world, TB researchers and clinicians develop a more nuanced consideration of how health, illness and medical treatment are understood, interpreted and confronted.

The Genome Empowerment Scale (GEmS), developed as a research tool, assesses perspectives of parents of children with undiagnosed disorders about to undergo exome or genome sequencing related to the process of empowerment. We defined genomic healthcare empowerment as follows: perceived ability to understand and seek new information related to the genomic sequencing, manage emotions related to the diagnostic process and outcomes, and utilize genomic sequencing information to the betterment of the individual/child and family. The GEmS consists of four scales, two are primarily emotion‐focused (Meaning of a Diagnosis, and Emotional Management of the Process) and two are action‐oriented (Seeking Information and Support, and Implications and Planning). The purpose of this research was to provide a strategy for interpreting results from the GEmS and present illustrative cases. These illustrations should serve to facilitate use of the GEmS in the clinical and research arena, particularly with respect to guiding genetic counseling processes for parents of children with undiagnosed conditions.
