Health professionals have to be confident to manage therapeutic groups of patients with obesity considering the potential of such approach to organize and provide health care. This study aimed to validate the scale of self-efficacy among health professionals to manage therapeutic groups of patients with obesity. Items were developed by an interprofessional group based on theoretical references on humanized healthcare. Scope, relevance, clarity, and comprehensibility of items and response options were evaluated by experts and health professionals. Using factor analysis and item response theory analysis, items with better discrimination were selected. The interpretation of the scores was proposed with a description of the self-efficacy around different levels. All steps were conducted using online forms. A pool of 21 items was proposed with up to five response options. Experts and health professionals retained 17 items with few changes in wording and four response options. The final scale was composed of 17 items, from which we derived three levels of self-efficacy (low, moderate, high). This study conceived a simple tool to assess health professionals’ confidence in managing obesity in therapeutic groups, which may be helpful in designing and measuring the impact of interprofessional education programs to leverage health assistance quality.
