Background: Eating self-efficacy (ESE) may be defined as the belief in one’s ability to self-regulate eating. Several ESE scales have been proposed but most of them focus on weight management or dieting. We developed a very brief scale assessing ESE in situations in which people face external (i.e. food availability and social eating) or internal (i.e. emotions, tension and hunger) pressures for excessive food intake.
Introduction: Healthcare students and professionals possess self-directed learning abilities at different levels of development. For educators, measuring these abilities allow to tailor teaching and mentoring interventions. The aim of this study was to validate the structure of the Self-Rating Scale of Self-Directed Learning, Italian version (SRSSDL-Ita). Methods: A cross-sectional study design was adopted involving a convenience sample of 593 healthcare students and professionals.
