Analysis

The Self-Management Screening (SMS) is a tool designed to assess an individual’s ability to effectively manage their own habits, needs, and problems. It is commonly used to evaluate self-management capacity in various contexts, such as healthcare, mental health, and personal development.

Objective

The primary objective of the SMS is to identify areas where an individual may need assistance or intervention in self-management.

Calibration

The SMS includes a series of questions or statements that assess time management, self-discipline, stress management, and self-management strategies. The questions are usually rated on a Likert scale, such as from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much).
