Background:

Methods:

The study was carried out in 360 subjects, both sexes, 15-65 years of age, from Concepción, Chile, who answered Self-efficacy, Self-esteem and Health Status Perception instruments. Reliability was verified by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and validity by expert re-vision, univariate statistics, correlations among items, item-scale correlations, and correlations with Self-esteem and Perception of Health Status constructs.

Results:

Conclusions:

The General Self-efficacy Scale is a reliable and valid measure of the perception of self-efficacy in the Chilean population.
