DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT
Type Of Measure Scale
Brief Description

It is a 23-item scale that measures five constructs: goal achievement and overcoming barriers, self-knowledge, stress management, assessing dissatisfaction and readiness to change, and support for caring. Each item can be rated from ‘1 = strongly disagree’ to ‘5 = strongly agree’ and a higher total score indicates better empowerment

Number of Items 23

Recommendations to score

The items were scored on a five-point Likert scale, ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5). To calculate the overall mean SWE-RES-23 score, the value of all items were summarized and the sum was divided by 23.

Score Interpretation A higher value indicated a stronger empowerment.
