| 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 |
| Range | 1-5 |
| Responses options/scale |

| Developed for | --- |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | --- |
| 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. |
