Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale (SES6C) is range between 6 and 60, in which the higher the score, the higher the perceived self-efficacy for managing chronic diseases
^aUnivariate variables with P values < 0.05 were entered into the multiple linear regression
^bNominal variables were entered into analysis using dummy coding
^cP values are bold where they are less than the significance level of 0.05
