Self-efficacy instruments for patients with chronic diseases suffer from methodological limitations
Health and Quality of Life Outcomes , 09/28/09
Frei A et al. – The development and validation process of the majority of the self–efficacy instruments had major limitations.

Researchers who develop and validate self–efficacy instruments should adhere more closely to important methodological concepts for development and validation of patient–reported outcomes and report their methods more transparently.
