A convenient sampling was applied and a total of 57 valid data were collected and analyzed to yield a three-factor structure PHR diabetes self-efficacy model. The DPSES captures the diabetes self-efficacy concept as a tool for evaluating the patient-oriented benefits in using PHR for the purpose of diabetes self-management.
