COMPAR-EU Tools Web

The SMHF scale contains 22 items designed to reflect patients’ abilities to maintain illness stability and manage symptoms when they occur. The scoring of the 22 items reflect self-care maintenance behaviors that promote the avoidance of symptoms through treatment adherence and management of symptoms when they occur. Three subscales (maintenance, decision-making [later renamed management], and self-confidence) are produced. A maximum total score of 27 on this version indicates better self-management.
