Design: A methodological study.
Method: A total of 1260 older adults participated in the study between May 2020 and February 2022.
Objective: To test the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale (SCSES-Sp) in community-dwelling older adults with chronic multimorbidity.
Methods: A sample of 1013 community-dwelling older adults with chronic multimorbidity participated in an observational cross-sectional study that was carried out in 3 phases.
