Self-Efficacy
Self-efficacy was assessed with the COPD Self-Efficacy Scale. The 34-item COPD Self-Efficacy Scale has 5 sub-dimensions. The items in the scale are ranked from very safe (5 points) to not safe at all (1 point) and are Likert-type. In the evaluation of the scale, the higher the score obtained from the scale, the higher the competence level of the individual in managing respiratory difficulty.
