  1. A matrix of configurations recorded the name, year, number of items and theoretical framework (if available) of each tool. The number of items in a cell indicated whether the tool fully or partially addressed one of the pillars of self-care. A black, red, amber and green (BRAG) traffic light system was used, where black denoted that the instrument was not available to review, and no decision could be made (score = 0), ed indicated that the instrument was available, but a pillar was not addressed in the tool (score = 0), amber indicated that at least one item of the questionnaire partially addressed a pillars (denoted with *), and green indicated that data was available, and the pillar was explicitly addressed in the tool item (score = 1).
