HES-A

Description

The development of the HES was grounded on the concept of health empowerment as “a cognitive state characterized by perceptions of control regarding one’s health and health care; perceptions of competence regarding one’s ability to maintain good health and manage interactions with the health care system; and internalization of health ideas and goals at the individual and societal level.” 16 The original version of the tool was created from the “Diabetes Empowerment Scale Short Form” (DES-SF), which was established to measure the health empowerment of diabetic patients. 26 Park and Park argued that the DES-SF reflects each of the features of the fundamental characteristics of health-related empowerment. 16 HES captures the main elements of health empowerment: “self-control, self-efficacy, problem-solving, psychosocial coping, support, motivation, and decision-making.” 16 The tool has been validated to measure health empowerment among Korean older people. 16 In a previous study, the HES was translated to French and German languages and was tested for psychometric characteristics and factorial validity among women. 27 The study revealed that the French (α = .86) and German (α = .87) versions had acceptable internal consistency reliability when used among women. The study also provided evidence of the one-dimensionality of the French and German versions through confirmatory factor analyses (CFA). 27 The study concluded that the HES could be used to assess the health empowerment of French- and German-speaking women. 27 Hence, we assumed that the HES could also be used to assess these construct among Saudi women.
