Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Diabetes Self-Care Scale
Özet
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Diabetes Self-Care Scale. Self-care in diabetes is influenced by various factors, and it is important that the diabetes healthcare providers evaluate the efficacy of self-care activities. Accurate and careful measurements of diabetes self-care activities/levels provide important information both for healthcare providers and researchers to enable deeper understanding of appropriate management of and attitude towards self-care in patients with diabetes. Language properties of a Turkish adaptation of the Diabetes Self-Care Scale were ensured with the translation-backtranslation method, content validity by soliciting specialist opinions. Reliability, consistency over time (test-retest reliability), item-total item correlation analysis, and internal consistency were also analyzed. Data were collected between May and July 2007. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was 0.81. The Diabetes Self-care Scale is a valid and reliable scale to evaluate self-care activities of diabetics.
