Përmbledhja	The Medication Understanding and Use Self-Efficacy Scale (MUSE-S) is a brief, patient-centered self-report measure assessing both knowledge and confidence regarding medication use. Developed by Kripalani and colleagues at Emory University in 2009, the MUSE-S evaluates whether patients understand their medications (what they are for, how to take them, important side effects) and feel confident managing them in daily life. This dual focus on knowledge and self-efficacy makes the MUSE-S particularly valuable for identifying education gaps, assessing health literacy barriers to medication adherence, and evaluating outcomes of medication counseling or education interventions.	The Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ) is an 18-item self-report measure developed by Horne, Weinman, and Hankins in 1999 to assess patients' cognitive beliefs about necessity of medications and concerns about potential adverse effects. It is widely used in clinical research to predict medication adherence, particularly in chronic disease management, and has demonstrated strong predictive validity across diverse populations and disease contexts.
