The Patient Activation Measure (PAM13-I) is a brief, validated instrument that assesses patient knowledge, skills, and confidence for disease self-management. It consists of 13 items on a Likert scale. According to the American version of PAM 13, each item has five response categories with scores from 1 to 5: (1) "Strongly Disagree", (2) "Disagree", (3) "Agree", (4) "Strongly Agree" and (5) "Not Applicable". The instrument design reflects the four stages of activation in a progressing difficulty of the items: level 1 (patients believe that their role is important: items 1 and 2), level 2 (patients have confidence and knowledge to take action: items 3-8) level 3 (taking action: items 9-11) and level 4 (staying on course under stress: items 12 and 13).
