Searching on patient’s self-efficacy and diabetes management. Not sure if “self-efficacy” is the right term, so first searching just on this.

218 have self efficacy as an index term, so we know this is a term that we can use reliably.

Now we can restrict the search to those that also contain diabetes.

The first one looks relevant and has the fulltext of the test in PDF. Click on the title to get more information.

The summary gives useful information, and also some other keywords – you might want to explore social support, for example, instead of self efficacy and diabetes.

If you want to see the Test Development Record, in addition to the test itself, click on the doi link to see the full article.

If they ask you for money, don’t give up. We still may have it freely available through one of our subscription databases.

Try this tool called the Citation Linker (http://ucelinks.cdlib.org:8888/citation_new/sfx_local) to search completely.

Enter the required info and continue…

Got it!
