Abstract
Addressing a gap in research, we have documented good psychometric properties of belief measures regarding OP and its control. In describing our search for psychometrically sound measures, we have raised issues for future researchers to consider prior to adopting use of existing measures. Nurses can use these measures to assess and address the accuracy of patients' beliefs either individually or in groups. Researchers can use these measures to examine whether or not psycho-educational interventions influence beliefs about OP and its control.
