Development and Validation of the Self-efficacy Questionnaire in multiple sclerosis patients

Abstract Objective: Self-efficacy is one of the factors affecting on the quality of life and adjustment to the chronic diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Self-efficacy is the individual’s belief that they have the ability to overcome challenges presented to them. The current study aimed to develop and validate of self- efficacy questionnaire in Iranian MS patients. Materials and methods: This is a methodological study that was performed in three phases. In the first phase, the concept of self-efficacy was defined through qualitative content analysis approach. In the second phase, early items of questionnaire was generated according to findings of the first phase. In the final phase, validation of the developed questionnaire were evaluated using face, content and construct validity as well as reliability. Results: In exploratory factor analysis, four subscales including: adherence to medication regimens (5 items), social performance control (4 items), symptom management (4 items) and maintain independence and activity (5 items) were extracted by Eigen value above one and factor load above 0.3. Internal consistency and stability of the developed questionnaire confirmed with 0.91 and 0.88 respectively that indicated acceptable reliability. Conclusions: The 18-item developed questionnaire is valid and reliable for measurement of self-efficacy of Iranian MS patients.

A Holistic Needs Analysis for Developing Critical Reading Material to Enhance EFL Reading Proficiency

This study delves into the development of critical reading material for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) reading classes through a comprehensive need analysis. Employing the Four D model encompassing defining, designing, developing, and disseminating, the research process unfolded in distinct phases. The initial phase involved a preliminary investigation at the English Language Education Department of Muhammadiyah Purworejo University to discern students' challenges within real-time learning contexts. Subsequently, a prototype of the needs analysis was formulated based on the findings from the preliminary study. Validation of this needs analysis occurred through consultation with two experts and field testing to ascertain the questionnaire's efficacy. The validation process revealed a high feasibility rate (85%) in assessing students' needs. Additionally, a preliminary field test involving 30 students from the English Language Education Department at Muhammadiyah Purworejo University was conducted to evaluate the questionnaire's practicality. The outcomes of the needs analysis served as a foundational framework for the development of critical reading materials, subsequently utilized in EFL reading classes.

Team trust as a predictor of collective efficacy in female rugby players

According to Bandura’s (1997) social cognitive theory, “the higher the sense of collective efficacy, the better the team performance”. Bandura also states that collective efficacy is greater than the sum of its individual self-efficacies due to it being influenced by other cognitive factors, including trust (1986, 1997, J Cog Psychother, 13, 158-166). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of team trust on the construct of collective efficacy within a sport context. It is proposed that team trust is an important cognitive factor that may precede the relationship between collective efficacy and group performance. With institute ethical approval (BREO:33249-A-Nov/2023-47988-1), 21 female college rugby players voluntarily completed the four factor Team Trust Scale (Costa & Anderson, 2011. Eur J Work Org Psych, 20, 119-154) and the five factor Collective Efficacy Questionnaire for Sport (Short, Sullivan. & Feltz, 2005, Meas Phys Ed Ex Sci, 9, 181-202) to measure the correlation between levels of team trust and collective efficacy and determine if team trust is indeed a valid predictor of collective efficacy. Linear regression analyses were conducted and correlation coefficients calculated using Pearson’s correlation. It was predicted that a positive correlation would be shown between the two constructs and that team trust is a significant predictor of collective efficacy. Assuming a positive hypothesis, the study recommends that rugby teams and interdependent sport teams, generally, should develop a high-quality environment of trust both on and off the pitch, given its relationship with collective efficacy and subsequent impact on performance. Relatively little research has been carried out into the effect of intrateam trust within sport and, therefore, this study serves to widen the exploration of this construct and its impact on other social constructs such as collective efficacy and their impact on team performance.

It's OK to Move! Effect of a Brief Video on Community Confidence in Activity Despite Back Pain: A Randomized Trial.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the difference in confidence to become active despite low back pain in people who were exposed to one of 2 video interventions delivered on social media, compared to no intervention. DESIGN: A proof-of-concept, 3-group randomized controlled trial, in a 1:1:1 ratio. METHODS: Participants aged 18 years and over, with and without low back pain, were recruited via the social media channel Facebook, to view either a humorous video, a neutral video, or to no intervention. The videos were delivered online, explained evidence-based management for low back pain, and were designed to "go viral." The primary outcome was confidence in becoming active despite pain, measured using the Pain Self Efficacy Questionnaire (Item 10) (ranges from 0 [not at all confident] to 6 [completely confident]) immediately after watching the video. We aimed to capture the real-time impact and immediate reactions that contributed to the content's reach. RESULTS: Among 1933 randomized participants (mean [standard deviation] age: 58.9 [14.0] years, 1285 [75%] women), 1232 [70%] had low back pain and 88.8% completed the primary outcome. One thousand two hundred sixty-four participants were randomized to receive a video intervention, and 633 participants did not receive a video. On a 6-point scale, individuals exposed to either video (n = 1088) showed a mean confidence level 0.3 points higher (95% confidence interval: 0.1, 0.6) compared with no video (n = 630). CONCLUSION: Participants who viewed a brief video intervention reported a very small difference in confidence to become active despite low back pain, compared with no intervention. The difference may lack clinical relevance. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2024;54(6):1-8. Epub 18 April 2024. doi:10.2519/jospt.2024.12412.

Rasch analysis of the self efficacy (SE-12) questionnaire measuring clinical communication skills

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the construct validity and reliability of the Self Efficacy (SE-12) questionnaire using Rasch analysis. MethodsThe SE-12 was administered to Danish health care professionals prior to their participation in a communication skills training program. Analysis of fit to the Rasch model, ordering of response categories, dimensionality-testing, test for differential item functioning, test for local dependency, and calculation of reliability were used to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the SE-12. ResultsIn this study, 1057 respondents were analyzed. Overall, the SE-12 demonstrated an acceptable fit to the Rasch model. Response categories were appropriately ordered for all twelve items. However, items 6 (structure) and item 8 (empathy) demonstrated differential item functioning, with men being more likely to affirm the first and women the last item. Local dependency was observed between five item groups but adjusting for these improved fit indices significantly. The SE-12 exhibited high reliability with PSI ranging from 0.92 to 0.94. A transformation table converting ordinal scores to interval scores is provided. ConclusionThe SE-12 demonstrates good construct validity and excellent reliability. Minor issues regarding local dependency and differential functioning require attention.Innovation: A 5-item version could be explored without compromising validity and reliability.

149 Leadership Development for Women in Academic Medicine: Impact of Leader Self-Efficacy Change and Sustainability Over Time

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Our objective was to evaluate the FLEX Leadership Development Program for School of Medicine Women Faculty affiliated with 4 independent hospital systems throughout Northern Ohio to determine whether women faculty develop leader self and means efficacy. We also examined whether self-efficacy is sustained over time following program completion. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We did a prospective multiple cohort study to determine whether FLEX Program graduates develop and sustain leader self and means efficacy as measured by the Leader Efficacy Questionnaire (LEQ) (Hannah & Avolio, 2012). The LEQ assesses both leader confidence in their capabilities (self-efficacy) and the availability of sufficient external resources (means efficacy) to achieve their goals. We surveyed participants from 5 FLEX cohorts (2017-2021) using a pre-, post-, and 1-year follow-up LEQ, which allowed each participant to act as their own control subject, pre-test, and experimental post-test. The follow-up tested whether the change from pre- to post-test was sustained over time. The comparison group was non-participant women faculty from the same institutions over a similar 2-year period. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Diverse FLEX graduates from 5 different cohorts showed highly significant increases in pre- to post-program leader self-efficacy which were sustained up to one year after program completion. Overall leader efficacy as well as its three component sub-constructs (action-, means- and self-regulation- efficacy) all significantly increased equally, suggesting both that the FLEX program had robust effects on its participants, and all aspects of leader efficacy improved. We observed a mildly significant decrease at 1-year follow-up in the overall LEQ, which appeared to be driven entirely by the leader means efficacy. The large comparison group of women faculty did not show any significant changes in leader self-efficacy over a comparable 2-year period. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: FLEX confers sustainable gains in leader self-efficacy. Post-program self-efficacy decreases are driven by the leader means efficacy which measures how work environments affect their leadership. This suggests that institutions must take responsibility for making structural changes to improve the working environment for women leaders.

Community coherence, collective efficacy and civic engagement in student and youth councils: The mediating effect of community resilience

AbstractThis study examines relationships between community coherence and collective efficiency, and civic engagement, and the role of community resilience within such relationships, as seen in youth council frameworks. The participants included a group of 223 members of youth councils in Israel and a group of 568 non‐members, aged 14–18. The quantitative research tool comprised the Civic Engagement questionnaire; Conjoint Community Resiliency Assessment Measure; Sence of Community Coherence Questionnaire; and Collective Efficacy Questionnaire. Positive relationships were found between community coherence and collective efficiency, and civic engagement for both groups, yet community resilience was only a mediating factor in this relationship for the non‐member group.

Effectiveness of technology-aided education on self-efficacy among individuals post pulmonary surgery: A randomized controlled trial

BackgroundPatient education is an effective tool in enhancing compliance and comprehension to therapy. Preoperative video-based education (VBE) on knowledge and understanding of surgical procedures and physical therapy provides an insight into the essential need for treatment adherence and early post-operative recovery. Self-efficacy (SE) is an individual self-belief about one’s ability to cope and is denoted as a sign of healthy behavior and empowerment. Although little is known about VBE and self-efficacy (SE) in rehabilitation of pulmonary surgery patients. The objective was to assess the influence of VBE in pulmonary rehabilitation on SE post pulmonary surgery patients using the Manipal Self Efficacy Questionnaire (MSEQ). MethodsStudy design: Mixed methods pilot study. The MSEQ and educational video were designed and developed for this study. Piloting was conducted with the MSEQ (CVI = 0.95) and educational video (CVI = 1). After approval from the ethics committee, written informed consent was obtained from twenty preoperative pulmonary surgery patients were randomized to two groups. The control group (n = 30) received routine post-operative exercises and experimental group (n = 30) received preoperative VBE along with exercises. ResultsValidation of MSEQ and educational video was derived as per content validation index. Mann- Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were used to compare the groups. SE scores in the experimental group was higher than the control (p = 0.004). Discussion and conclusionVBE on PR improved SE of the patients after pulmonary surgery. The study’s main limitation was the difficulty in attaining the desired sample size because it was a time-bound study.

Validity and reliability of a needs analysis questionnaire for the development of a creativity module

AbstractDespite the acknowledged importance of integrating creativity into school curricula, students with learning disabilities often lack the skill of creativity, due to its absence in classroom instruction. To address these gaps, the authors developed a needs analysis questionnaire assessing the necessity of a creativity module for primary school students with learning disabilities, focusing on Torrance's four creativity elements: (a) Originality, (b) Fluency, (c) Flexibility, and (d) Elaboration. This study, emphasizing content validity and reliability testing, comprised rigorous validation by a panel of nine special education experts, resulting in high content validity scores. In Part II, all items were accepted, yielding an overall S‐CVI score of 0.97, indicating a ‘very suitable’ construct. In Part III two items were rejected; the overall S‐CVI score remained at 0.80, signifying ‘very suitable’. A pilot test with 30 special education teachers demonstrated Cronbach's Alpha values 0.87, indicating high reliability for all questionnaire parts. The study emphasizes the questionnaire's efficacy in assessing teachers' understanding of creativity skills and their perspectives on the importance of a customized creativity module. This tool holds substantial potential for educators and curriculum developers, providing insights to address specific student needs, foster creativity in classrooms and enhance overall educational experiences.

Validation of the Turkish version of the Neurological Fatigue Index for Stroke

ABSTRACT Introduction Post-stroke fatigue is an often overlooked problem that hinders recovery. Therefore, stroke patients should be evaluated for fatigue during the recovery period. This study aimed to adapt the Neurological Fatigue Index for Stroke (NFI-Stroke) into the Turkish language. Methods This methodological study was carried out on 110 stroke patients admitted to a university hospital in Istanbul. In addition to the NFI-Stroke, Functional Independence Measure, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, modified-Rankin Scale, Fatigue Severity-Scale, and Stroke Self Efficacy Questionnaire were used to collect data. Results Since the linguistic validity study of the scale has already been carried out, only psychometric properties were evaluated. The items in the scale were grouped under two factors. The Cronbach`s alpha coefficient was found to be 0.96 for the physical sub-dimension and 0.84 for the cognitive sub-dimension. Item-total correlation coefficients were found between 0.74-0.91 for the physical sub-dimension, and 0.82-0.91 for the cognitive sub-dimension. The test-retest evaluation confirmed the consistency of the responses to the scale against time. The scale was correlated with other scales used in the study as expected. Conclusions The NFI-Stroke will be useful in clinical practice in assessment of fatigue, which may affect the adaptation of patients to rehabilitation.

Home Visits for Postpartum Depression Intervention among Low-Income Latinas: Results from the PST4PPD Project

ABSTRACT Research shows that U.S. Latinas are at risk for high rates of postpartum depression (PPD) but have low rates of treatment compared to non-Hispanic White mothers. This study examined the feasibility of a multi-site home-visiting intervention (PST4PPD) conducted by bilingual community health workers (CHW) among low-income Latina mothers. A one-group, pre/posttest design and paired sample’s t-test were used to measure changes in depressive symptoms and self-efficacy for participants (n = 76) across five sites. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were used to assess depression; the New General Self-Efficacy Scale and the Maternal Efficacy Questionnaire measured general self-efficacy and parenting self-efficacy. Depression scores decreased significantly from pretest to posttest. Participants’ general self-efficacy, maternal self-efficacy, and PPD knowledge increased. With a 76% completion rate, demonstrable improvements were seen in participants’ depression and self-efficacy. Implications for addressing modifiable factors such as self-efficacy and stress management are discussed.

DIGITAL-BASED LEARNING MEDIA FOR TEACHING ENGLISH AS FOREIGN LANGUAGE TO EMERGE EFFICACY OF PERFORMING ART STUDENTS

<span>In the information and technology era, learning media has transformed, particularly in the process of English language learning and teaching. About 96.8% of 60 performing art students taking English class prefer to involve digital media for learning English. This data shows that digital learning media play such a highly essential role. This study aims to describe the varied digital-based learning media in English as Foreign Language to performing art students and to identify the impact toward the students’ efficacy. The author selected performing art students as the sample and implemented purposive sampling to determine the sample. To collect the data, the author surveyed digital platforms, observed the class, spread efficacy questionnaire, and interviewed some of the respondents. The results shows there are eight digital-based learning media which are effective to be applied in English learning and teaching, i.e. Heyzine, Kahoot, Quizizz, Linoit, Wordwall, Mentimeter, Youtube, and Duolingo. All of those media do emerge the students’ efficacy in learning English. The diagrams of the results display that all of the students provided with digital media during the learning process have high and highest efficacy as they responded the questionnaire questions with high proportion of agree and strongly agree statement. Therefore, applying digital media to millennial is obviously effective to enhance their efficacy in learning English as foreign language.</span>

High school education management: Significance of teacher care in student learning

In order to find out how different high school students' perceptions of teachers' caring behaviors affect their ability to learn and how well they do in school. A total of 259 individuals in their sophomore year of high school were chosen for the study using a convenience sample technique. Our survey data was analyzed statistically using the following instruments: teacher care behavior questionnaire, learning efficacy questionnaire, perceived stress and motivation questionnaire. There are three types of research subjects that can be classified based on how high school students perceive the pressure and motivation from teachers regarding care behavior: dynamic type, balanced type, and pressure type. The former group has high scores for both factors, while the latter has low scores for dynamic perception. There was a positive correlation (P<0.05) between the caring behavior of teachers in dynamic research subjects and learning efficacy, and a positive correlation (P<0.05) between the caring behavior of teachers in balanced research subjects and exam scores and learning efficacy. The correlation analysis revealed that the learning efficacy of balanced research subjects was positively correlated with two indicators: exam scores and class ranking, and with a positive correlation between the learning efficacy of dynamic research subjects and class ranking. The analysis of the mediating effect found that learning efficacy plays a complete mediating role in the prediction of teacher care behavior on exam scores.

Determining fall risk change throughout pregnancy: the accuracy of postpartum survey and relationship to fall efficacy

All epidemiological studies on pregnancy fall risk to date have relied on postpartum recall. This study investigated the accuracy of postpartum recall of falls that were reported during pregnancy, including assessment of fall efficacy as a possible reason for recall inaccuracy. Twenty participants reported fall experiences weekly during pregnancy, but one participant was excluded as an outlier. A fall efficacy questionnaire was completed every six weeks during pregnancy. A postpartum survey to mimic previous studies (Dunning, Lemasters, and Bhattacharya 2010; Dunning et al. 2003) was delivered to determine recall accuracy. Postpartum recall of fall events each gestational month matches the previous study (Dunning, Lemasters, and Bhattacharya 2010). However, recall of falls is 16% underestimated and recall of all fall events is 30% overestimated in postpartum survey. There is a slight relationship between fall efficacy and true falls, but not between fall efficacy and fall recall. Our study suggests fall risk needs to be intermittently surveyed throughout pregnancy rather than assessed via postpartum survey. Practitioner summary: This study investigated the accuracy of postpartum survey of fall risk during pregnancy and the possibility of fall efficacy as a covariate. We used three corresponding surveys. We found inaccuracies in postpartum survey, not explain by fall efficacy.

Effectiveness of Assurance, Relevance, Interest, Assessment, and Satisfaction (ARIAS) Model on Students Self Efficacy Achievement

This study was motivated by the low self-efficacy of students in IPAS learning. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Assurance, Relevance, Interest, Assessment, and Satisfaction (ARIAS) model on the achievement of self efficacy in grade IV elementary school. The type of research used is Quasi Experimental using Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The study population was grade IV elementary school students in Gugus VI Koto Tangah District, Padang. The sampling technique used was Simple Random Sampling, obtained class IVA as the experimental class and class IVB as the control class at SD Negeri 28 Padang Sarai. This research instrument is a self efficacy questionnaire and data analysis techniques using prerequisite tests in the form of normality, homogeneity, and independent sample t test tests. Based on the results of the study obtained a significance value of Sig. 0.00 < 0.05, that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that the effectiveness of the ARIAS model has a significant effect on the achievement of self efficacy of students in elementary schools. Learning with the ARIAS model makes students active in learning activities.

Sources of Teacher Efficacy Questionnaire: Psychometric characteristics of Polish adaptation

The study presents the theoretical basis and psychometric properties of the Sources of Teacher Efficacy Questionnaire (STEQ), by C. K. W. Hoi and co-authors in the Polish adaptation. The sample included 946 teachers. Confirmatory factor analysis conducted showed a good fit of the four-factor model. Analyses confirmed the reliability and validity of the scale. The major contribution to explaining the sources of teachers' sense of efficacy comes from experiencing mastery. Knowing the sources of teachers' efficacy allows for a better understanding of their self-efficacy and, consequently, their engagement in teaching.

Analysis of Spatial Ability in terms of High Self Efficacy

This research was conducted to find out and describe how students' spatial abilities are viewed from high self efficacy. The type of research used is qualitative with a case study approach. The subjects in the study were students with high questionnaire results from the questionnaire categorization results. The technique of taking subjects is purposive sampling, before choosing the subject the researcher gives self efficacy questionnaire to all students of class VIII Al-Qalam. Furthermore, the questionnaire was categorized, then obtained three subjects with high self efficacy. Researchers collected data with questionnaires, document analysis and interviews. In this study the researcher acts as the main instrument, while the supporting instruments of this study are questionnaires, interviews and documents. The data analysis technique used in this research is by collecting data, reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The data validity test used is credibility test, transfebility test, dependability test, and confirmablity test. The results showed that each subject with high self efficacy has different and similar characteristics in answering spatial ability questions. All subjects can fulfill the spatial ability indicators well. So it can be concluded that subjects with high self efficacy are able to fulfill spatial ability indicators and have good spatial abilities.

Exploring Social Support, Pain Self-Efficacy and Health Beliefs in Older Adults with Musculoskeletal Disorders

Background: During the last decades, many studies have explored social support, pain self-efficacy, and health beliefs in older adults with musculoskeletal disorders. Aim: The purpose of the research is to investigate the beliefs of elderly people with musculoskeletal disorders regarding social support, self-efficacy in pain, and health locus of control. Methods: The research was carried out based on 3 questionnaires. The first questionnaire involved the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the second involved the Pain Self Efficacy Questionnaire, and the third included the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) scale. The research was conducted from April–June 2023 among 106 elderly people, of which 32 (30.2%) were men and 74 (69.8%) were women, members of long-term care services and others who visited the Open Care Center of Patras. Results: The mean age of the participants was 76.1 years and the majority were females, primary school graduates, and retired. Furthermore, most of them had moderate/mild manual labor, average financial status, and received medication for musculoskeletal problems. The results showed that there is a statistically significant positive correlation between pain self-efficacy and the support from the significant others (r = .370, p < .01), family support (r = .517, p < .01), overall social support (r = .435, p < .01), and financial status (r = .353, p < .01). Conclusion: The research showed that social support is positively related to pain self-efficacy in the elderly with musculoskeletal diseases.

School Discipline, Reward System and Administrative Efficacy of Principals in Secondary Schools in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

The principal as an administrative officer has the duty of providing professional guidance and assistance to teachers for the improvement of their instructional delivery. The study seeks to ascertain the correlation between the discipline of schools, the system of rewards, and the efficacy of administrative practices implemented by principals in secondary schools in Uyo, Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The chosen research design was a correlation research design. The population consisted of all 374 members of the teaching staff in 15 public secondary schools in the study area. A sample comprising 76 teachers was selected from three schools chosen at random. The technique employed for this purpose was simple random sampling. A researcher made instrument, titled "Principals Administrative Efficacy Questionnaire" (PAEQ), was employed for data collection. The reliability of the PAEQ was determined to be 0.89 through the use of Cronbach Alpha Statistics. To test the two hypotheses, Pearson product moment correlation statistics was employed at p≤0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study indicated that there exists a weak positive correlation between school discipline, the reward system, and the administrative efficacy of principals in secondary schools. As a result, it was concluded that a relationship does exist between school discipline, the reward system, and the administrative efficacy of principals in secondary schools. Based on the findings, it is recommended that principals of schools should give due consideration to matters pertaining to school discipline and actively promote the reward system as a means of achieving effective administration.

15 Associations Among Subjective Cognitive Function and Cannabis Use in Older Adults

Objective:Cannabis use in older adults is becoming increasingly common as cannabis becomes both more socially acceptable and legally permissible, whether for medical or recreational purposes. While previous research has found harmful effects of cannabis use on cognition in adolescents and younger adults, few studies have explored cognition and cannabis use in older adults. This study aimed to examine the relationship between lifetime cannabis use patterns and subjective cognitive performance in older adults.Participants and Methods:The sample (N=51) consisted of adults ages 60 and older residing in the United States who endorsed cannabis use within the previous year. Participants completed online questionnaires on demographics, mental health [Geriatric Anxiety Scale (GAS) short form and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) short form], and measures of subjective cognitive function [Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ), the Cognitive Problems and Strategies Assessment (CPSA), and part IV of the Cognitive Self Efficacy Questionnaire (CSEQ)]. The Daily Sessions, Frequency, Age of Onset, and Quantity of Cannabis Use Inventory (DFAQCU) and the Cannabis Use Disorder Identification Test (CUDIT) were used to assess cannabis use, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test Consumption items (AUD-C) were used to assess alcohol use. Partial Pearson’s correlations were used to examine relationships between scores of subjective cognitive functioning and cannabis use patterns while controlling for alcohol consumption.Results:Participants aged 60+ (M=68.06, SD=5.80, 49% women) had 15.39 (SD=2.21, range 12-18) years of education on average. Participants’ race/ethnicity was reported as 90.2% White (n=47), 5.9% Latinx or Hispanic (n=3), 2% Black or African American (n=1), and 1% Other (n=1). Most participants (59%) reported first using cannabis as a child or adolescent (range of ages 7-17 years), while 31% reported first using cannabis as an adult (ages 18-58 years), and only 8% endorsed initial use in older adulthood (62-84 years). On average, this sample reported using cannabis for 19.75 days (SD=11.14) in the last month with n=35 (69%) and having used cannabis for 20 or more years (range 1-60 years). The total CUDIT score was positively correlated with CFQ (rp=.47, p<.001), CPSA problems (rp=.46, p<.001), GAS (rp=.43, p=.002), and GDS (rp=.35, p=.014), and negatively correlated with the CSEQ (rp=-.33, p=.02), all while controlling for alcohol consumption. Days of use in the past month and total years of use were not significantly associated with subjective cognitive function.Conclusions:Among older adult cannabis users, symptoms of Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) were significantly associated with greater self-reported cognitive failures/problems and worse self-efficacy for cognitive ability, as well as symptoms of anxiety and depression, when controlling for alcohol use. Notably, there was no relationship between subjective cognition and frequency of recent use or lifetime use. For patients who use cannabis, neuropsychologists may find it helpful to focus their clinical interview on CUD symptoms when discussing cognitive complaints rather than other measures of cannabis use. Additional research is needed to examine objective measures of cognitive functioning in older adult cannabis users.
