    ObjectiveThis study aimed to adapt the 6-Item Self-Efficacy Scale for Chronic Disease Management (SEMDC-6S) to women with endometriosis in the Turkish population and to evaluate its validity and reliability.MethodsThis methodological study comprised of 200 women with endometriosis. The construct validity of the scale was tested using the confirmatory factor analysis methods. The reliability of the scale was tested using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, item-total score correlations and test-retest reliability analysis.ResultsIt was determined that the SEMDC-6S consisted of six items and one subscale. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the fit index values of the scale were found to be acceptable. The intraclass correlation coefficient of test-retest reliability was 0.95, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.76.ConclusionThe Turkish version of the SEMDC-6S is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the self-efficacy of women with endometriosis.© 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
