Brief summary: The importance of lifestyle changes to control risk factors in the prevention, treatment and management of coronary heart disease (CHD), a major health problem, has been emphasised. In addition, physical, social, psychological and occupational limitations arising from the disease negatively affect the quality of life and self-efficacy perceptions of individuals, making it difficult to comply with treatment and disease management. There are general self-efficacy and self-management scales for which Turkish validity and reliability studies have been conducted previously. However, these scales are not specific to coronary heart disease patients and evaluate either only self-efficacy or only self-management. The aim of this study was to adapt the Heart Health Self-efficacy and Self-Management Scale (HH-SESM) into Turkish and to investigate its validity and reliability in patients with coronary heart disease. The study is conducted in Cardiology outpatient clinics of Karaman Training and Research Hospital. Before the study, the purpose and content of the study will be explained to the participants and an informed consent form will be obtained from the participants. Since the sample size in validity and reliability studies should be at least 10 times the total number of scale items, at least 120 individuals will be included in the study as the number of items x number of options (12 x 10 = 120). Detailed medical history and sociodemographic information (age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, disease duration (months), occupation, daily working hours, educational status, sports/exercise habits) will be recorded. In order to measure self-management and self-efficacy levels, patients will be administered the HH-SESM, Self-care management in chronic diseases scale- Self-care subgroup questions and General self-efficacy scales.
