Examination of Adherence Self-Efficacy and Outcome Expectancy Regarding Antiretroviral Treatment According to HAART Medication Adherence

 
Adherence
Self-efficacy and outcome expectancy Adherent Nonadherent p value
Self-efficacy (SE):      
 Mean (SD) 85.1 (14.3) 61.4 (23.1) < 0.0001
 Median 89.0 67.5 < 0.0001
Outcome expectancy (OE):      
 Mean (SD) 29.5 (4.3) 26.4 (5.0) < 0.0001
 Median 31.0 27.0 < 0.0001

Cronbach α: Self-efficacy (SE): Cronbach α is equal to 0.91; the value of Cronbach α obtained with the deletion of a single variable from the scale ranged from 0.90 to 0.92.

Outcome expectancy (OE): Cronbach α is equal to 0.62; the value of Cronbach α obtained with the deletion of a single variable from the scale ranged from 0.52 to 0.66.

HAART, highly active antiretroviral therapy; SD, standard deviation.
